HELP!!! Got ProVari...GOT PROBLEMS!!

[MontanaDoc]

Think I will look at it tomorrow. Late. Frustrated. *sigh* Guess it's back to cig-a-likes for another day.

for 180 bucks i seriously think they should have adjustable connector pin...

 

[certus11]

okay good luck buddy, stay on the path and away from cigs

 

[MontanaDoc]

Yeah...does NOT come with beauty ring. Photo Gallery

It's only 510 threaded. No need for a beauty ring. The 510 connection in a ProVari is inset and doesn't move.

this is a beauty ring, you should've gotten one unless the vendor took it out and sell them seprately now i wonder if provari is both ego and 510 threaded

 

[MontanaDoc]

No worries. Haven't had a real cig in like 3 yrs. Was excited to try mods.

Yeah they do. I screwed my Hippo on too tight once. I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the pin back up out of the ProVari.


Maybe this will help, just combine this what all that I have said

I should have read this thread before replying to you on the other thread.
The problem is not on the ProVari's end. Don't mess with the center pin on the ProVari unless you get an OP reading (when you check oHms) on everything you screw into the ProVari.

Spend $6 and be done with it.

@MontanaDoc: This is a known issue with Provaris and Protank IIs. Went through the same frustrations as you when I first got my Provari. There are really two simple options to choose from in my mind (I've done both myself):

1) Fix the airflow issues on the Provari side by getting a Hippo v2 beauty ring. It's a bit pricey at $40, but it adds much needed airflow controls and an adjustable center pin to the Provari (not to mention it makes everything look beautiful when flush mounted). This entirely fixed all my issues with the Protank II. VapeRev sells them (Hippo V2 SS - Transformers - Accessories).

2) Or just ditch the Protank entirely and go with a better topper that has airflow control. I personally recommend the Aspire Nautilus, but I've heard decent things about Kanger's Aerotank as well. Or you can take it further and enter the realm of rebuildables and get a Russian or Kayfun or a clone of those (most of which have airflow controls).

Hope this helps. Keep calm and vape on the cig-a-likes in the mean time

This is the solution!

They work great for ProTanks on any PV that restricts airflow, like the ProVari or some mechanicals which are primarily designed for RBAs without bottom airflow.

(Available at multiple vendors. Often called "Kanger Airflow Control Valve".)
