Hello, I have had my Provari V2.5 New Design since April of last year (Silver, red LED). I also have a Provari V2 since 10/2012, (Blue, blue LED). I purchased both new from Provape.
My problem is with the newer Provari. It reads each battery at 4.2. Sometimes it doesn't have any read-out, other times it only flashes. Right now it's dead. It might work for a bit again if I try it tomorrow. (Thank goodness I have two or I'd be in full panic mode.)
I only use the recommended red AW IMR 18490 3.7 V batteries and purchase those from reputable vendors. I charge with a Pila.
When I switch the battery from the V2.5 into the V.2 Provari, I get an accurate readout. So I know it's not a battery issue. I actually use the older blue mod much more than the newer silver one because it feels better in the hand. So the V2.5 silver Provari hasn't seen much use .. and it puzzles me that it it's on the fritz. I only drip on cisco LR 306 atomizers and use a clear DIY (barely flavored) VG juice (much like the old ecopure in consistency) ... not sticky/messy even if some drips into the well occasionally.
What should/could I try before contacting for service? It's still under warranty. I know that the newer Provaris shouldn't get the alcohol cleaning treatment. I do clean the inside contact with a q-tip soaked in isopropyl and also the connection where the atomizer is attached. Thanks for any tips or advice!
