3 mo. old ProVari Mini stopped working...HELP?!

[Dutch81]

I switched one VIvi Nova tank with another to change favors and it just stopped vaping. There is no sound at all emitted from the mini. The batteries are not the issue because I can still access the menu. So the board is ok. There is no fried juice, I swabbed/dried the connection. I'm so frustrated, 3 months, 0 problems til today. I have dropped it a few times but it never effected it. It fell on concrete maybe twice, all of them in the 1st month so that can't be the cause. The battery was charged fully. The center posts look fine, that can't be it. Tried cartomizers, replaced new 2.8 ohmz recently on both Vivis. Strangely, when I hit the button, the screen is blank, but when I access the menu, it turns on. Usually I'd see the voltage when I hit the button.

Went here because it read AO, followed this

Ugh, sent email... Waiting for this grueling process to get underway.

Edt: Also, never got any liquid inside the unit, ever. Only on top of the connection, once.

Oh wow! That sucks! Have you tried cleaning your connections? I've seen on here where that sometimes fixes the issue. Hope you get it to work without having to send it in. Have any backups just incase?

 

[Dutch81]

No backups! You could imagine how I was feeling. It works now, don't ask how. One of my tanks work, one doesn't. The connections were cleaned hours ago, I tried taking off the 501 adapter, changed new 2.8 ohms. I have no idea how i fixed it but the red Nova tank works everything perfectly! .... When I compared the shape of the 2 circles at the bottom of the tank, they're similar. Ironically, my dads Mini should've been here by today by 1pm but its not. I was planning on not telling him it came until mine was repaired. It's easier for him to keep smoking analogs for a few more weeks than me resisting analogs without my mini. Would've been torturous as it doesn't look like it'll be delivered today. The post office probably messed up, they're incompetent in my neighborhood.

Does anyone know what could've caused this?

If the menu still works fine, my best guess is the positive pin on the VVN got pushed up and isn't making contact with the positive pin on the Vari. Just try to wiggle it down with a small screwdriver or the likes. If that is the problem, then just don't over tighten delivery systems. If this is the case it will show OP(en) when you check the Ohms.

If it isn't, you may want to email provape.

Glad to see that you're back up & running! You might want to contact Provape though. I would. And definitely invest in some kind of backup even if its just an ego so that if something ever does happen or you just need a repair or upgrade you won't be tempted to go back to the cigs. Hope your dads new toy gets there soon!

Oh! Love the organizer! Where did you get it?

 

[lolhahaha]

Um, if the Provari works with one tank but not another how can you say that the Provari has a problem?

When you hit the button to vape the display doesn't display anything unless it's an error code. At least that's how mine works (I have a v2.5).

Thank you, i had my brother make it for me. He said he's willing to make more if he gets some requests. He's a carpenter so this was right up his alley. I like a lot of the stands I see online but most of them are too bulky and the ones that aren't hold 2-5 items, not good enough. This one is about 11" x 4.5" x 1", flatter than some books. I travel a lot so I wanted something portable, holds everything and looks nicer than a block of wood with a few holes in it. After 3 weeks of having all my accessories/juices in a small cardboard box, I couldn't take it anymore.

BTW, you might not have saved any money YET but your air sacs in your lungs are being spared. That's something money can't buy.

Mine too, I guess while I was panicing i wasn't thinking straight, haha.

At the time, both stopped working with and w/o the adapter for almost 2 hrs. I still don't know how even one is working now. It wouldn't even emit a noise when I would be holding down the button.

I was almost certain I'd be without my Mini for weeks, the PV support told me pretty much the same thing Thompson said.
The only thing I can remember is I kind of pushed in the coil behind the battery closer to the cap, then pulled it out a bit.

No more problems with the Mini, false alarm! Works like new.
Thank you all for the help.
