firing buttons going sour...

[Susaz]

I bought 4 mods since march, and for several reasons each one has gone down. Before you recommend a Provari fan boys, read on

The first to go down was the Sigelei Zmax telescope. The button would misfire or enter menus with just one push. Drove me mad, so I bought an SVD through fasttech. It was going fine until one day I saw eliquid draining down the bottom. But I went on. I use mostly the Vapeonly BCC and the ocasional evod. The second time I found eliquid was when the firing button simply stopped working. I doused the conection and the button with isopropyl alcohol in hope it'll dislodge any remaining liquid. But I'm unhappy.

The most unlikely has held on to the end, the eVic with an 19350. Goes on working like a charm but the 5V limitation is a little tricky (I vape at around 10 to 12 W on 2.5 ohm heads). The Sigelei after a long rest is working so far, at least for the time being.

Do I have to buy a new mod every three months? Preposterous! I know, I'm a heavy vaper, but it's too much.

not sure of the comment but whatev.

the answer is in the first quote but you seem to not want to hear it.

cheap is cheaply made, no offense but it is what it is.

get a mech.

 

[serenity21899]

Have not seen any complaints about ProVari buttons, including mine (I also vape heavily). Just saying.

 

[Pitviper]

Just go ahead a get a Reo. Youll never need another mod againg, unless its another Reo.

 

[Baditude]

You get what you pay for. You buy cheap, you get cheaply made. Simple concept, really. You're finally experiencing what the "fan boys" have been saying all along. To get quality, durability, dependability, and repairability you have to shell out some bucks.

You already know what you need, but you won't admit to it. Good luck, Susaz.

Hmmm.. I didn't knew SVD had juice in it...

If you rely on the features that the SVD and other mods bring to the table then you will have to expect them to fail at some point in time regardless of your behaviors. If you are willing to drop some features like vw/vv, ego cone threading, etc. and are willing to spend an entire month's budget on a single APV, then please buy a Provari because it will never fail you Susaz. Life happens and things go wrong, but what separates Provari's from the more inexpensive featureful APV's popping up is one simple truth -- Provape.

Susaz, I own 3 Proari's beginning on my ECF join date and they behave tthe same as they do now. The problem you face sadely is lack of options. Your nation prohibits sales of electronic cigarettes and juices. When a way is established to guarentee a package will reach you, I will give you a wonderful gift later this year.

Guys, not everyone can aford a Provari. Every time I complain about a mod, everybody jumps in saying "Get a Provari". Provaris also fail. And living so far, taking it back for repairs can be costly. Not every time something that is expensive is foolproof...

 

[RedhatPat]

Provari's fail very less compared to the other mods, Susaz. That's all they're saying. Now the reason I am recommending it to you is because I have not experienced one failure in 11 months! I practically learned to vape with them so they have been flooded, short cicuited, etc. And they keep on working perfectly.

I just had an Innokin iTaste SVD fail on me, and it was my first time experiencing a mod do that. I was slowly falling in Love with it but you cannot put price on, "trust." and I trust my Provari! And don't worry about the cost.

You know RHP, that's your golden-ticket in life now

Provari track records for failing are FAR less than the Chinese mods, who as you know offer absolutely no option for repair at all.

How much in total cost were the four mods you have bought since March? Probably more than the $140 which would get you a slightly blemished Provari 2.5 or Provari 2.0, both with full one year warranty.

 

[Thrasher]

Provaris also fail

yea but 1 in 1000 isnt exactly failure prone. i know it seems fanboyish but here you are explaining in full detail exactly WHAT it is about the provari that makes them so recommended. you can either go the mech route, keep buying chinese junk. or one provari. i have one here that is over 2 years old now and still works like the day it left provape. even still running the version 1 board.

I really hate being fanboyish and even being percieved as one but the stories are true, with the provari you really do get exactly what you pay for. mine have been absolutely drenched in juice. and fallen so many times i cant count doesnt even have a dent on it

You have a new nick name. Hi "Sour Buttons!"

I don't know what to tell you kiddo. I'm careful with my stuff I guess because I can even get something like an Ovale V8 to last... forever while they practically self destruct for someone else. I wouldn't dare suggest you use anything I have just because... Well just because.

Did you do the "bag of rice" trick for any of the soggy PV's? You still may have liquid in there that needs to be got out.

Me for you.

Jammed a paper towel in and it's been sitting for a couple of days. It'll take me two months of zero vaping gear to get a Provari, I don't have a credit card... *sigh*

Instead I'm thinking of getting back to V8. They don't read ohms, but the ones I've got are still working. Or maybe an Itaste... I don't know.

 

[Rickajho]

Oh wow - I had no idea you have a V8. That's practically creepy weird. Maybe I should start suggesting you use my PV's. lol

The problem is the paper towel can't act as a desiccant and suck liquid out of where it can't get at. Try the dry rice thing: Put the flaky PV in a plastic bag with some rice, seal it tight, and give it a few days.

If you bought 4 mods, you would have spent less on the ProVari.

If you want a reliable mod - buy a Provari.
I'm not stating this because I'm a fanboy, but because it's true.

Chinese mods are disposable for the most part.

 

[Susaz]

Update: The SVD survived. Yesterday I put a battery, turned it on, and worked flawlessly. But I'm not using anything not sealed with it ever again.

 

[State Of Zen]

I would totally buy a Provari if they came out with a VW model. I like the idea of "set it once and then forget it regardless of what you put on top". Guess I'm just lazy, but that is the ONLY thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on one.

LOL, I have the same luck, bought a two for the price of one V8 kit at a closeout sale months ago, the extra V8 was the original shiny black that had so many problems, mine is one of my take alongs as I didn't expect it to last, darn is still going strong. The other is black rubberized and it mostly sits on the desk patiently waiting for its time to be put into service.

Susaz, I see your point about the shipping and return time, Argentina isn't exactly located in the free shipping zone for Provape, and I would imagine shipping cost and time would be over the top. Don't know what killed your other devices, but juice getting into the electronics will kill just about anything. I wish I had an easy answer for you, but I don't. Wishing you the best.

Edit, Yeah, now you are back in business, glad to hear it.

The Sigelei is the most annoying. The button just went crazy. Sometimes it fires, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it goes into menus by its own. It's maddening finding that the wattage has suddenly gone down for itself, or, the out is off. Mine is a Telemax.

As for the Gripper, I blew the center pin. My hubby fixed it with a retainer, so my attys don't screw all the way down, but at least it makes contact and works!
