    well then it wouldn't be an EQ- programable feed was kind of the big thing along with PWM.

    Be back tonight- so far I had one unexplained voltage setting reset today- otherwise working without any glitches, lockups or erratic behavior - debating if I want to take it out to a dinner party @carmines tonight and gauge people's reactions, or opt for something a bit less conspicuous.

    BTW: That was "ability to constantly keep atomizer wetted" which should be red- that was supposed to be the simultaneious fire feed program that automatically pumped after a programmed amount of run time. you do it now by manually running the feed program- 3 taps on the feed button.

    Understatement matt- It was a differentiator.

    you can't adjust the voltage setting while you vape. you can adjust up or down after you vape - we're talking about the device automatically compensating for changes that happen in the circuit while you vape. The EQ was supposed to do that by keeping the voltage locked where you set it. For all...

    You can feed with the power button engaged, you can run the program feed with the power button engaged. Correct it is voltage regulated but it does not compensate for changes in the load as you vape. In other words, you set your voltage for 5.1V - if the load draggs your output voltage up or...

    It was orgininally going to compensate for changes in load to maintain the voltage setting where you set it. I had a whole discussion with Mario about PWM and it was one of the features that was apparently dropped.

    New Batteries coming soon - ProVari Power 2500

    I guess I wasn't selected to beta test them- In a way I'm glad- I don't have to get the hate comments for being a fanboy for thinking the ProVari is still the standard that others are measured agaist- and the feedback is comming from others so that's good.. I'm also looking forward to the Auto...

    I never expected this to be the last PV i'd ever buy- I agree it's a great device - certainly comparable (but different) to my other favs- and equal in fit and finish- but I also agree its not everything I expected- particularly with the voltage compensation and PWM aspects - For $300 I...

    Really good question- I ran yesterday with a 2.0 atty that was tripping up my provari - E1, E2... drop the voltage etc. I moved the same atty to the EQ at the same setting the ProVari was tripping up (4.2V), and it worked consistently till the battery ran down and then it simply shut off. As...

    Valid point....maybe there's a way that they can keep shipping to those that are up for chasing down issues, without frustrating those that aren't up for it.

    I see the point, but I'm not sure I agree- I think the more hands on, the more info we'll gather and the sooner it can be addressed. Other than battery life, my device hasn't misbehaved since this morning...

    Guys- let's be careful to not turn this into threats of "i'm canceling my order" because of these posts- we're trying to find problems, point them out and share the info in an open forum so we can get them addressed. I fully expected to have some issues out of the gate. Some of what we're...

    I haven't used the USB yet to charge or pass through (will get to that over the weekend) but I tested the connector fitting and it's snug on mine - perhaps Drumon's is a one off related to assembly... that said, some of the other problems we're seeing - especially the battery life and what...

    Jury is still out for me- I'm not ready to do side by side with the ProVari yet and I'm concerned about a few of the issues we've already uncovered and curious if they are one offs from hitting the pad or inherent design issues ... (don't mean to be a downer here- just recognizing that we're the...

    Issues asside, the firefeed is awsome! there's only one other device I know that can do that and it's a bottom feed.

    - the bottle holder screw in thing... I figure if you have a cover on the bottle, it's safe to pull it off the old one and pop it on the new one, but yeah- one or two spares would be a good thing.... something to consider is if you want to change juice you need to clean and re-prime the pump- no...

    That's pretty serious. So we're 24 hrs in and finding a few things that should have been picked up in beta testing. That's a feature I requested way back when- (search this thread for firefeed)- I'm going to try and replicate it and if it frys the unit, you'll all know about it.
