Almost lost 2 provari's in 2 days!

[Daytony]

Newbie here with a crappy week. I have 2 provari's 1 is standard and the other is the mini and friday my mini throws an E5 error constantly and then it just died, tried 4 new batteries and nothing. Cleaned the terminals with no go and then finally tried and an alcohol bath, it's dead. and still is at the time of this post.

Then saturday my standard provari starts spitting out E8 errors every time I pushed the button. I cleaned contacts with no go, changed batteries and that didn't help. sooo I tried the alcohol bath on it and that fixed it and is working perfectly. I don't get it.... I NEVER spill juice on my provari's.

Now I had to buy a backup so I ordered a smoktek SID and trying to get rid of cartomizer tanks all together so I also ordered a Protank 2. I will be carto free some day I hope.

Should contact provape, are they still in the warranty period. Sorry no helpful tips don't own a provari.......yet. Good luck I am sure one of the many experts here will chime in any moment.

Look into the internet E5 error is high voltage error. E8 is converter noticed a fault you use very high voltage and it effects the electronic circuits I et it.

I can honestly say I have never heard of that happening to anyone. I would send them into ProVape, being a new vapor I am sure that they are still under warranty.

Odd thing about you moving away from cartos, I recently put two more into service, I am now using three. I have the original ProTank on my ProVari right now, hope the new ProTanks serve you well.

this from manual:

error codes:
E5- over voltage detected. Contact Provape

What batteries are you using? Are you using the recommended AW brand button tops?

 

[Daytony]

Yes I only use AW's. I took the provari mini apart last night and found that 1 chip on the circuit board is fried to hell. Guess that will get sent back to provape next month.

Wow, what bummer. Hopefully they'll get you all fixed up.
