I don't know how this has happened. I went to change batteries, but it won't come out. I don't know how the battery could've expanded or the Provari could've shrunk. Any suggestions as to how this happened or how to get the battery out?
Battery stuck in my Provari

I've never heard this one before. What battery you got in there?You might try putting the Provari in the frige for about a half to one hour. There might be enough contraction for something to give after that. If that fails, make a ticket to Provape and see what they recommend.

It's the AW IMR batteries that come with their kit. I'll put in a ticket to Provape. Just thought I'd ask here first.
No wiggle room at all? Does it look like it expanded from the bottom view when you take the end cap off?

Mine always slide right out. Sounds like something happened to the battery. Let us know what provape says.
My guess is it's that oval AW sticker with holograms on it. One of my batteries has been doing that in my Nemesis clone.
Try slamming the open end of the battery tube down on your palm or your knee. (Not too hard, or you'll bruise yourself.)
If that doesn't help, yeah call Provape.
Of course you could also use something harder than a body part, but then you risk damaging the battery or the object that you'e hitting.

Hopefully Provape can get that worked for ya.
I did that. The best I could do is get the battery closer to the bottom of the tube.
I have a few suggestions I hope it helps, I do not think your battery expanded because you will know about it (i.e. venting expansion), the plastic may have melted and glues itself in there. Baditude suggested the fridge to cool it which helps in reducing expanded metal. Even the freezer will not hurt it. If you have a bolt magnet you will be able to get it out. Any auto parts store sells the extendable magnets to pick up nuts and bolts you may want to give that a shot. Here is a link to the item I am talking about, New 5lb 24" Pen Style Portable Telescopic Magnetic Screw Bolt Pick Up Hand Tool | eBay
it will do good in your vape tackle box as well, I use it for picking up kanthal clippings and pulling batteries out of mods when they get stuck. The link is just an example so you know what I am talking about. I hope this helps.

I've been wanting to get one of those to keep in the vape box anyways. I'll definitely go do that now.
Man, that does suck! I really hope you get it fixed.
Did some naughty Reonaught tell you that with a Provari you have to put a dab of super glue on the pos nub of your battery to ensure a good connection?

I got the battery out. My girlfriend accidentally knocked the Provari over the other day and it broke the plastic lens on it. One of the chunks from it must have gotten stuck in between the battery and tube.
Glad you got it out... if it had been me I most likely would have headed for the garage and started with simple hand tools and worked my way up to power tools. Most likely ending with some hearty cussing and a mess... followed by an extended hillbilly engineering session to turn any remaining functional parts into the next big thing!!
That's how my Big Nasty #452 died!!! The button got stuck and a few power tools later I had a bad of parts that I sent back to Cig Techs, they are the best because they replaced my entire Big Nasty, I am #766 now but it works great. I was trying to figure out why the button failed but it turned into a power tool and karma war in the garage... Oh I was on my sleep meds too, which add to my stubborn thought process. I was an Infantry Staff Sergeant so if something is in my way I move I or go through it! Ha Ha it was interesting though.
That is crazy... What are the odds, I remember shooting my brother in the nostril with a yellow plastic BB when we were kids, I did a combat roll landed on the couch and pow! right up the nose! We should play the lottery! my truck can use a lift.
