Provari mini suddenly displaying E1 error for the first time. Using IgoL and regular octopus E1. Tried a plain carto same thing. The weird thing is that my mini octopus works fine!!! Any thoughts? Thanks

E1 – Short Circuit / Shorted Atomizer – If this error appears, remove the atomizer and replace with a different one or lower your voltage settings The ProVari will automatically reset when the problem is fixed or lower your voltage settings. The ProVari will automatically reset when the problem is fixed.
I put an Ego-L on mine for the first time today and got that error, even though I have previously checked it on an ohm mater. Turns out I had joggled the coil and I assume it was touching the post. Once i pulled the coil out a bit the error went away.
Thx for reply Paul. I have removed and retried four different atomizers, one out of four works. The other three I get the E1.
Paul, they are 1.5, 1.7 and 2.2, they all worked fine until 30 min ago, that is what is so strange that the fourth one works fine.
Your coil must be touching somewhere causing a short. Have you tried it with the cap off?
There is no coil touching there is no short. They all read fine with meter and fire/vape fine on alternate device.
Thanks Amanda, did try new battery, tried turning on and off and cleaning, no luck
Do you have any topper that works on the mini?
Sent from my cotton stuffed microcoiled Android unit.

Yes, i have a mini octopus dripper that is fine, that's why i don't understand why the other three don't work on the provari when they do fire on other device . They worked fine an hour ago I just can't figure out what changed.
I just can't figure out what changed.
Hi Dedi, not sure if you have contacted us through the website or not, but I would be happy to help. Can you tell me what the voltage is set to when you are using these attys? Most times, if you are able to get the ProVari to work with another atomizer, which you mentioned 1 of them did work, it generally would be something with the atomizer itself that causes the error. If it were the ProVari, you would get this error on all of your atomizers. Let me know and I can gladly assist
Hi Jennifer, thx for response. In #7 I indicated the ohms on attys. I use from 3.5 to 4.1 volts.
The weird thing was all four fired on other devices and all four metered correctly, however only one fired on Provari. This happened within 10 minutes with no other changes.
I emailed with Ken and he suggested cleaning, which I had already done with no change. He sd possibly center pin prob. I wasnt sure if he meant device or addy and he did not reply.
I gave up and just put it aside till yesterday morning. When I started with trying to figure it out again, everything worked normally! I have no idea what was going on!!!

Dedi,
If the issue continues, please do not hesitate to pm me. Glad to here its working again, The issue puzzles me still??
if your getting an E1 Error it could be a short in the wick, or the voltage is set too high. But from your statement above thats not the case unless the wicks are fluctuating causing the ohms to read very low. are you using clearomizers? You can check the wicks orings in the tank??
If over tightening occurs, the pin can read as a short and also possibly cause a error in the tank. If this issue continues, please let me know and we can have you send it in so we can take a look at it to see what could possibly be causing this to happen.
Kindly,
Ken

Thx for response Ken. No clearos at present, only drippers. IT truly was puzzling.....
Dedi,
Hows the insulator in the bottom of the drippers? Does the seal at the post seem to be fine?
