Good news, bad news

Just got my ProVari yesterday and it vapes like a Champ!

After one hour of vaping the low bat light started blinking. Put it on the charger but no led's light-up. Strange. Left it on charger overnight but the battery does not have a good charge.

I don't think it is the battery but I'm not sure. ProVape is out of batteries.

I'm sure that I'll get this worked out but I am frustrated at having a great PV and I can not use it.

THAT SUX lol. Hope you get it worked out. That is plain ol torture man.

Take some rubbing alcohol and clean the contacts. This happened to someone at work and it fixed theirs. Good luck!

Contacts on the bat & charger? I will try but I doubt it will help. It is all new stuff. Let you know if this works-thanks!


update- Just did this and popped the battery in. Still no light on the LED on the TrustFire charger. Never had one of these charges. I would expect some light on the LED when you put a battery in, no?

Thanks. Seems like folks here "feel my pain"!

OK I'm officially going crazy now. Been calling local Radio Shacks for the battery and charger and they have no idea what I'm talking about. Feel like smoking an analog.

The Provape page doesn't list the model number, but if it is a Trustfire TR-001 (listed on the back) you should get two green leds when you plug it in without batteries installed. If you aren't getting any lights at all, either the charger or cord is bad.

Yes that is the charger and no lights at all. I will see if I can find a different cord- Thanks!

It Was The Cord!

Thank you Icoth!

Well that's good news. Enjoy your new Provari!

Gotta love ECF. Glad you got it sorted and enjoy the provari!

Order another charger as a backup, just in case

Yep I have one on order. Two more batteries as well from a flashlight company!
