OK, gotta ask, my OCD is kicking in again. Provari mini 2.5 is giving me two readings on the CB function. One reading with an rba on it, another with no atty at all on it. 18650, 18490, 18350, battery size doesn't change it, if anything the spread is bigger with the small 18350 batts. If the CB reads 3.7 with the atty on, take it off, reads 3.9. That, I could live with, kinda, but, it also gives me the low battery flashing button at 3.7, which, has started to annoy me. greatly.
take the battery cap off, take the atty off, resets it, it reads right, back to happy. but, WTH, it shouldn't be giving me a low battery blink at 3.7 anyways...
It does this every time, gives me two readings, one with atty on, one with atty off. almost always a .2 spread, verified the battery charge with multi meter. the CB function reading without the atty is true and correct. put the atty on, and it almost always reads .2 low, which I could care less about really, kinda, but when it trips my low battery flashing at 3.7, which actually is 3.9, you gotta ask yourself WTH. While typing this, it gave me a low battery flash, checked it, said 3.3 on CB with atty on. Took atty off, CB function says 3.8 and still flashes. take cap off, cb reads 3.8 and stops flashing because it was reset.... this is after I have cleaned all contacts, repeatedly, it's not the coil build or connections, I've checked, repeatedly, 1.5 or 1.8 ohm coils, nothing below that, I don't build low ohm coils for the prov, keep the sub ohm stuff on a mechanical. new AW and 3 month old ran in rotation batts, all three sizes.
contacted CS at Provape, they said I could "send it back", and to be honest, since I can document and duplicate the device readings every time, with AW batts, I am pretty reluctant to be without it, for them to wind up saying nothing wrong, be without the device for a week or two, and get it back as is. I emailed them in detail what it was doing, what it was reading. "don't know" or "nothing wrong" isn't really the answer I was looking for. This is what it's doing. there can only be a finite amount of variables, trouble shooting the reading should be fairly straight forward? no? anybody know the math behind these readings?
at first I thought it was my RBAs, just thought I was getting less battery life. it blinked, i read it with the atty on, changed the batts. but since I noticed dual readings, I have started having to take two readings, one with atty on, one without, and then unscrew the batt cap to get the device reset.
Anybody have a guess?
As always, thanks in advance.
