Constant E-1 and E-8 errors?

[sawlight]

I've contacted Provape but want to make sure I'm not missing something else! My mini is just giving e nothing but fits! I put an atty on and they all check LO on Provari, I ohm them and they are 1.7 to 2.3 ohms on my meter. Put them on other mods, they work fine? Once in a great while it will fire, but mostly I get E-1 or E-8 errors!
I've soaked it in alcohol three times, cleaned the contacts (the board seems loose in mine?) cleaned the threads and stretched the spring. Anything I've missed so far?
I really loved my mini, but I'm starting to doubt if it's durable enough for me!

So far Provape has been very helpful, but unsuccessful! As no one seems to have an answer to this I'll pass on what I've learned so far on the matter.
It was suggested to use a metal polish to clean the 510 center pin using a Q-tip, the use another Q-tip with alcohol to clean out the residue. Do this twice, then dry it with a towel. I must admit I was amazed at how dirty it really was!
The other suggestion was to clean out the battery contact inside the body using a Q-tip and alcohol until it's shiny, I never could get mine to shine. Also to clean the terminals on the batteries.
None of these suggestions helped, just seemed to make the E-1 code come up faster. I then gave the entire unit another Iso bath and let it dry. After drying, same thing, instant E-1 code. The batteries tested at 4.2v in the unit, I tried dripping atties, new carto's, old carto's and RBA's, instant E-1 and LO atty readings.
But hey, at least I'm not getting E-8's, right?

Well the last thing customer support had to offer was I might be running the voltage to high causing the errors, a fair assumption for sure, but after saying I was at 2.9v and still getting the E-1 using 1.7-2.3ohm atties, it was RMA time.
I guess it's going back.

Sawlight, please send in your unit, at those ohms, it shouldnt be giving you those errors unless there is a short in the atomizer somewhere.

I'm on it, Kenny, it should be off tomorrow. Like I've said, I've ohm'd everything with my MAC Tools (Fluke built) meter, and all test good, and I've tried plenty!
Please don't take this thread the wrong way, I am STUPID HARD on things and this was my main hesitation on buying one! You make a fine product, you're customer service has done nothing but bend over backwards to help me, and it's still under warrenty! I've no complaints on your end at all, I just am wondering if it's the right thing for my lifestyle now.

Well I got an email saying it was in for inspection today, then two hours later I got another saying it had been shipped out today. Is there any way I can find out what was wrong, what was fixed, what I can do to prevent this from happening again?

 

[MonsterKenny]

Sawlight please send me a PM with your info and I'll look into it for you

PM is off, thank you for looking into! Like I say, I'm not trying to be nasty about anything, just wanting to understand if it's something I can prevent in the future or if I just need to stay away from e-cigs with electronics in them!
