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

[MontanaDoc]

I JUST got my ProVari yesterday. Holy smokes is it ever nice. Here's my issue:

Been vaping like crazy! I mean hitting it hard, as my new device works (worked) like a champ. Then I started getting burned taste. So I took out my atty, soaked in alcohol like everyone has instructed, put it back in (using Kanger ProTank II) and suddenly...no vapor, or rather, no air coming through (sealed tight). So, I got a brand new atty out of my pack I purchased, screwed it on, let it sit for a bit to soak in liquid, NO AIR!!. Took tank off, great air flow. Ensured no liquid in well of ProVari, clean and dry. Took atty out and ensured gasket thing on center cylinder not falling to far down...nope, looks great. WHAT IS GOING ON??? I got one solid day of PERFECT vaping and now NOTHING. I am freaking out here.

Please help. Please instruct as if I was a huge noob. I have waited so long to get my ProVari and now I have NOTHING!

Take the atty out of the tank, hold up vertically, look at the bottom of the atty, locate the small piece of metal, pull it out by less than 1mm, reinstall, vape on. Airflow restored and mission accomplished.

Also if you are having airflow problems then try loosening your atty from the Provari like a 1/4 turn. If you tighten it up too much you will get no airflow to your tank.

Did it just now. ProVari connection side, pushed it back. No change.

Loosening helped, but I don't get it. I had it turned on there snug initially the day I got it and virtually no problems. Is it something I did with the tank? Should I be using a different type of tank? Not sure why this would start all of a sudden

Not the provari side, the tank side

The seal shrunk a little

Roger that. I did it to the atty. It came out, just like you said. About 1mm all I pulled. It just pushed right back in when I screwed it on to ProVari

 

[MontanaDoc]

Shoot! Now well full of liquid. Getting in my mouth. Not sure what I did...but it was masterfully done

 

[certus11]

Does your provari have adjustable connector pin? If so adjust it lower if not then do this.

Take the atty out of the tank, hold up vertically, look at the bottom of the atty, locate the very bottom piece of seal, take it out, flip it over, reinstall.

you should be able to take your atty too with this link

Protanks do mix very well with provari. Mine did same thing, very very tight draw. Everything else works great. Which is ok, as I don't care for protank anyway.

 

[jd1978]

You can fix it with the aero.

 

[MontanaDoc]

Connector pin NOT adjustable. Atty bottom piece one fit only (mushroom cap).

 

[MontanaDoc]

Getting LOTS of liquid in mouth now. SHOOT!!

Sounds like it's time to try another head.

Fixed yet? you may also need to unflood your atty by sucking on it or by blowing through it...Flooded atties does block airflow

 

[KjAthena]

I use my protanks on my provari with no problems with airflow.....I suggest doing as I did and purchasing the aero bases for your protanks($5 or less) as they solve the leaking issue and the airflow issue that protanks can have

 

[MontanaDoc]

I made sure to use a new atty. Not flooded. Having same issue with my "always faithful" back-up ProTank II as well. I am cursed
