Yesterday on two seperate occasions my provari wouldn't work as if the battery was dead, I opened it up on both occasions and it began to work, I don't think I noticed the low battery blink but later I did thinking it was odd I put in a fresh battery well low and behold an hour later the fresh battery started to blink as if low. I took the cap off and put the battery right back in knowing it wasn't dead and sure enough it started to work and I read the battery it was 3.6 v , well its done this a few times now anyone know what the problem might be ?
The Provari hasn't taken any falls a vamo wouldn't survive and actually due to its build barely falls because its steady.

I'm going to cry if I have to send this back and vape burnt vamo juice for a week or more.

If the battery cap threads are dirty, you will get the same thing. The battery cap is part of the electrical circuit. If the threading on the cap is not shiney bare metal clean, you will get the above symptoms.

Clean the threads thoroughly with Noaloxx (antioxidant). Available via Provape, or most hardware stores (electrical section).

Are you using AW batteries?
