thanks. it occured when i checked the atty ohms. i hadnt even tried to vape it yet. hrmm open circuit....that doesnt sound good. hopefully its just the atty head and not somehting with the tank. doesnt sound like it.
does the provari typically vary on atty ohms? i just popped another head on there and first time it said LO, then quickly went to 3.0 (atty head is rated at 2.8). i immediately tried it again and it said 2.7 then flashed to 3.1.
ive seen it change real quick at first, but ive never seen the LO, or widely different ranges.
edit: the widely different ranges settled, but i still wonder what the LO is. does anyone have a copy of the manual, or maybe know what LO means?

I've got a copy, but I'm not home. None the less I'm sure others will chime in and help out here.

Here is a working link to the provari manual

maybe the LO popped up just for a second as i was checkng atty ohms. maybe the computer flashed the next funtion just for a millisecond before settling in on atty ohms. who knows really. than again, maybe its a different type of error thats not in the manual. after all, the OC error isnt in the manual either. in any event, the issue is not with the provari, it was with the DOA atty head i received.
Hi,
yes the "OP" code means the resistance is broken, or possibly the atty isn't making proper connection to the provari 510 socket.
both my provaris take half a second or so for stabilizing the reading of the atty resistance, so I consider some initial reading fluctuation to be 'normal'.
what's less normal for me is that the resistance reading of the very same atty always differs between my two provaris (1 mini, 1 v2), by approx 0.2 ohm, but that's another story...
never experienced the LO reading, though, so can't help on that.
thanks for your help, xpen. at first i thought it was the atty head that was DOA. then i tried another atty head and i got the same problem from that one. so now im thinking something might be wrong with the connection between the atty head and the tank maybe. i really dont know. maybe i should try the non-working atty heads on a tank that i know works for sure.

OP means that the coil is popped, or the atomizer is not making a proper connection. LO means the resistance is too low to safely fire. It is perfectly normal to get a slight fluctuation the first second when you check Ao.
thanks for your help. i wonder why i didnt see those codes in the manual.
anyway, its a brand new tank and atty heads. looking at the atty heads, there seems to be an awful lot of coil wraps happening in there. perhaps this is the problem? i really have no idea.
im not sure how to create a better connection. im pretty sure the atty heads and/or tank itself is causing the problem as ive used several vivi nova tanks and this is the only one that has caused a problem.

You could try using a small screwdriver or toothpick to make the positive connector stick out a little more... Obviously you would want to be very careful doing that. Sounds like the tank is making a poor connection with the Provari.
thanks for your advice. its a vivi nova tank and the post doesnt appear to be adjustable.? i
think i will hold off on trying anything until i hear back from the vendor. im guessing that this is just a bad tank and im expecting a refund.

Yea, most aren't adjustable, but the silicon insulator sometimes get a little squished, causing the center to sit in a little more. Definitely don't risk messing it up if the vendor will replace it.
you welcome. yes that's what I'd do for trying to pinpoint where the problem lies... I'd bet it's not in the provari 510 threading itself, that thing is built like a steel tank, so - excluding the atty head - most probably it's in the connection(s) after that.
good luck with your chase
okay ive got some more evidence. it turns out that the tank itself is a problem, as well as at least 1 of the atty heads. out of the 2 atty heads that did not work on the non working tank, 1 of them worked on a known working tank. so, the tank itself is a dud, and at least 1 of the atty heads is a dud. i havent tried the 3rd atty head, but im mostly concerned with the tank. i havent tried most of my atty heads from my other tank kits for that matter. i sure hope more of them arent duds, or else i'll be trying my hand at rebuilding them sooner than i had thought!
i also really hope i can get a refund for this non-working tank. i dont see why i wouldnt- it was DOA. but heres the kicker- i bought my return-to-vaping friend a vivi nova v2.5 tank (in addition to mine) as a gift. he hasnt tried it yet, but i really hope his works. i hope it wasnt a bad batch and mine was just a random dud.

I recoil my vivi nova heads and have seen the OP error. I wondered what is was. I take it to mean that I didn't do something right. This is one of the safety features that I love with the provari!
