Good news is: I found out that (at least from Santa Rosa, CA to Los Angeles, CA) the Provari passes right through airport security!

Not so much as a second look from the security people, so.. Cool!

Bad news: My PILA charger isnt as robust as I thought :( I just so happen to be traveling for work, so I have some tools with me.. I figured out its the AC power supply.. Its not giving out the 6VDC anymore :(

Only bought this PILA a couple weeks ago too..

So here, I am, 3 days left before going home, and I have 2 fully charged 18490s, and 1 with a 3.6V charge on it to last me :(

I've tried it on multiple plugs around the hotel room, no love.. Honestly, I have no idea what could have happened..

So, be gentile with those PILA power cords.. They're 'sensitive' :D

Hey wngs, the Pila charger usually comes with a 1 year warranty. I would contact the vendor you bought it through for assistance in getting it replaced. Read the warranty before calling, I think it says you must use only Pila batteries, wink wink. I have the same charger and I've noticed once that the cord was acting a little funny... ever since then I have been gentle with it and it's been fine.

I got the Charger from Provape, Just like all the batts and stuff for my Provaris..

Batts and such might be a buck or two cheaper from whatever other company, but I'm so impressed with Provapes products thus far that I just buy from Provape..

A single wrong batt, or bad batt from any other vendor would kill the margin of money I'd save by buying from them..

Think Provape would be open to taking a look at my charger (or more specifically the AC power supply) ?

(Hint hint, Provape :) )
