    is boge gate over? or what's the alternative

    I'm so damn sick of wasting juice filling up new cartos that end up tasting like crap. With Boge cartos they don't have that weird flavor anymore (the ones I've had recently) but they seem to die much quicker than before boge gate. I bought 2 "BUD" cartos from Puresmoker (they are SmokTek...

    GG tide turning?

    See the problem for me is the wattage limit. I could've saved money just buying the kick and an extension since I already had the Silver Bullet. However, my sweet spot is in the 12-12.75 wattage range. The kick will not provide that. The ProVari V2 will provide that and more. I'm vaping on a 2...

    Cecilia and David were the ones that helped me out, I have a sneaky feeling NarcoSleepyGirl is Cecilia! I'm sure I was being a pretty big goober to them and they never got rude. They would e-mail me back in minutes. Very very professional. My provari is still going strong, now I'm thinking about...

    Puresmoker juice?

    Hey guys I happen to live really close to where Puresmoker operates. I can pick up juice at their building and save money on shipping. So I've never tried any of their juices, but right now I'm running so low on my all day vape (Tampa from vsvapor) and it's not going to be here until maybe...

    Tracking Number?

    How long has it been since you got the tracking number? When I got mine I thought it looked pretty odd, a day and a half later it showed up on the USPS tracking site. I live in TN and ProVape is in Washington State. I got it in two days. If it's been longer than three (business) days I'd e-mail...

    Update: I got the ProVari back today, I've been vaping it for several hours and no E8 error! The calibration must have fixed it! I was able to vape it until the battery was dead, something I never could do before. ProVape came through for me, I want to thank the two people that helped me but not...

    I tried cartos from two batches, neither of which were the "wonky" boges. The resistance was staying consistent (according to provari), but aside from that, the provari would start working again when a fully charged battery was put in. Then the cycle started over. If it was the carto that was...

    I know all about BogeGate, but this isn't a cartomizer problem. If the ProVari's protection is shutting off a wonky carto every 2 hits on one battery, then it would shut it off on a freshly charged battery. The protection would work the same way no matter if the battery was fully charged or 2/3...

    I would like to add that although it disappointed me that they shipped it without giving me a chance to talk to them about it, they have been responding to all my e-mails within minutes since that happened. They are doing their best to make it right, maybe my device just has a really weird...

    Here's a better way to describe what was happening. Put fresh battery in provari, vape 30-45 minutes, E8 error, reset device (take battery out and put it back in), vape 15 minutes, E8 error, reset device, take 3 drags, E8 error, put in freshly charged battery, vape 30-45 minutes, E8 error...

    I understand people have different tastes, and also that many juices do taste very bad in the configuration I prefer. My all day vape (Tampa from vsvapor) tastes great at 6 volts in a 3 ohm carto. I've been vaping at 6 volts with 3 ohm cartos for 2 years on my Silver Bullet, and generally the...

    I know a 1.6 ohm carto won't work at 6 volts! I'm saying if the resistance dropped like the ProVape guy said (which I explained doesn't make sense in my case) it would have to drop to 1.6 ohms before the amp limit was met. So a brand new 3 ohm carto should hit more than 3 times before the E8...

    Like I said I'm not a noob, the first thing I did was check the ohms, let the carto rest and cool down, replace carto, repeat. Nothing helped.

    Yes I checked the ohms, 2 of the brand new ones measured 3 ohms, one was 3.1 ohms. They would fire 2 or 3 times and then E8 error. But there's nothing wrong with it? Even letting them rest for a couple hours, come back, hit it twice, E8.

    It's 2 amps, not 3. It would have to dip to around 1.6 ohms to be over 3.5 amps.

    Boge 3 ohm cartos. The ones that people all over the internet say they use at 6 volts on the ProVari with no problems.

    So as some of you know I had a problem with my ProVari, the E8 error kept popping up. As the battery would run down it would throw the error with more and more frequency until I could hit it only 2 or 3 times before having to reset the unit (take battery out, put it back it). When it got to that...

    New ProVari question

    Thanks for the advice, I keep hearing nothing but good things about those attys so I guess I'll have to spring for one. I'm thinking long barrel 2 ohm...btw when ProVape says it's not recommended to use LR attys what is the cut off? Is 2 ohm considered LR?

    E8 error already

    I'm using the AW IMR 18490s that came with the ProVari. Tried cleaning the battery contacts every way I could think of, multiple times and nothing helped. I just dropped it off at the post office so should be back at ProVape in a couple days. BTW ProVape did pay for they shipping, they are being...
