Dumb provari question

[Fir3b1rd]

When I change the battery or take it our and put it back in the device turns itself on.
I treat all electronics like my old tube amp and ensure that they are turned off before I remove the power supply.

In addition earlier today she started flashing with 4v left on the battery.
Then as I was driving I shook it on accident (bump) and it started flashings more Uncontrollably.
So I removed the battery And let it sit for a bit before putting it back in and everything "seems" normal - for now at least. Other thAn it turning itself on upon battery reinsertion.
I had it in a pouch with a bunch of stuff and could have had the fire button depressed unknowingly I'm hoping it just overheated and needed to cool down.
Anyone have any idears?

The provari chipset is always on with the battery in it. When you turn it on or off from the menu all you're doing is enabling or disabling the fire button. There is a 15 second auto shutoff if your fire button is inadvertently pressed, it will disable the fire button after 15 seconds.

I never turn mine off so I have nothin'. When I change the battery it just keeps my settings the same and it's on as if I never took the battery out.

Mine turn itself on when batteries change also. Seems normal. Even if the button is pressed it has a 16 sec cutoff so it wont blow up on you or overheat. Assuming the chip is working as it should of course. Which batteries are you using? The flashing when you hit bumps could be because you aren't using button tops causing a poor intermittent connection.

It's the button tops that provape sells with it- 18490 button tops

I did pull the spring on the cap to straighten it a little while I had sitting for a bit to "cool"
So not sure if it didn't over hear maybe the spring for pushed in a bit who knows it'll probably be fine when I go to use it later.

Hmmm...does the circuit board feel loose at all. Mine is a bit loose so every know and then it acts like yours also.

What's the little lady's name?

You guys and your Provaris.

It doesn't rattle with the battery out and it doesn't feel loose.

The things I would do for the light blinking too soon would be this. Clean the threads on the bottom cap and also the female threads on the tube. Also pulling up the spring will help. And lastly I would clean the positive connection where the positive side of the battery meets the chip.
