Got my provari a week ago. Love it. But it seems to be a little finicky for me.
First issue: The button
The button fires every time, for sure, and I quickly learned that I have to push firmly on the button, because I found that any slack will stop the button from firing (right? :/ )
But when I go through the menu system, it's a different story. The issue is, I'll be cycling through with each click, but sometimes I'll hit the button and nothing happens, and the menu doesn't cycle. Well, maybe I didn't hit the button firmly enough. BUT THEN, when I hit the button after this "mis fire" the menu will rapidly cycle twice, as if I just hit the button twice when I only hit it once. It's rather frequent, and I find myself timidly pressing the button as carefully as I can in fear of overshooting a menu option and having to cycle through all over again.
Second issue: "Low battery" LED flash
When I first got my provari (the battery contacts should have been clean, right?) I vaped on it for the whole day, but halfway through my day, I got the led flashing at me, and the device turned off. I was confused because it didn't last that long. I cycled through the menu to Cb, waited a couple seconds, and no number popped up. So I unscrewed the end cap then put it back on, same battery, and checked the battery voltage again, and it read 3.6v. Not a dead battery at all. Vaped fine, but just to be safe, I changed the battery.
I later read that the LED will flash slowly when the battery is low, and not necessarily dead, but in the menu system I have the "Lo" setting turned OFF, which means the "Low battery" function shouldn't flash my LED. When I first got the provari I noticed a little "nick" on the internal battery contact, but assumed it wouldn't affect anything. Could this be a production fault? It appears to be a small "flat spot" on the otherwise rounded contact.
