My wife said the same thing about me.It was working perfectly before our trip. Went to use it the other day and it's screwed up
So reading this post worries me if what he says about the OLED screen is true. What do we do about our provaris at that point?

I have mech mods as my last ditched savior. Sofar makes a point about safety that each of us has to evaluate. As for me, purchasing high quality, reputable batteries is the best way to prevent battery explosions. PV features that add to protection is also important. My guess, however, is ProVape had the cheap fly by night battery companies in mind when they decided to design protections into their PVs.
I have a couple mechs myself and a few kicks to use on them for regulation.
David said several times that battery quality was a big factor in their design limits. They had their recommended batteries but you could use a cheap radio shack cell without worry. That's why the amp limits are the way they are.
I had heard about the shelf life on the P3 OLED screens ... the 2.5s will probably last 150+ years.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease.
Oled screens have an "in use" meaning on life span of about 50,000 estimated hours. That's over 11 years if it's on 24/7. Being carbon based it's shelf life can be the same as the carbon decay time. However since little to no oxygen gets to the carbon the mineral decay rate is longer than normal.
Honestly, I wouldn't worry about the screen too much. It would take forever to wear out an oled since the individual leds in the screen are rarely on more than a few secs at a time. Based on my vaping habits my screen is on about 5 min a day total and since each press changes which leds are lit, each led is only lit for about 45 secs a day. I'm a pretty heavy vaper too.

sometimes you just need to see some happy news for a change.

Maybe 1000+ years would be more appropriate for those of use with lots of Provaris.
I was thinking.... Even if the screens go on my 2.5's, I never adjust the damned things anyways, so they should likely still keep ticking. my P3s, Classics and Radius are a different story....
