Unfortunately, i slept with mine again by accident...just faceplanted and when i woke up, it was in the bed. I must have rolled over it a few times, because the tank and dcc look bent, and screw on funny to the Provari. dont understand why the tank looks lopsided. i took the tank /dcc off the provari and inspected it..the carty wasnt bent and nothing was wrong with it...the tank wasnt wrecked in the slightest...so why does it look like the 'leaning tower of pisa' when i vape? doesnt make sense..even the bottom of the carty looks fine.

Sweet, 3rd time yesterday. Why do i keep having this in my lap!! I even have this arm movement to try and stop it to roll off. And i notice this many times aday and its not even on its way to destruction.. But when i got home, it happened. Didnt roll as far but got a nick in the end cap and some beautifull fitting scratches as it rolled about 50cm.. I now have a complete set of scratches going 360 around it. Its officially my "bring with me" ProVari as i have a Chrome coming in the mail next week..

And-i-will-never-drop-that-outside-it-should-not-be-possible-as-i-will-keep-it-on-my-desk-at-all-times.

Now.. Where to get a huge sign that says that to hang around it.

Dropped mine for the first time (outside) yesterday. Had it in my lap when i walked out of the car. Smacked right on the tarmac and kept rolling under the car. Heartbreaking.

Edit: Oh, and ye.. ive dropped it maybe 5 times to the wooden floor, and the cartos have broken off :p

can you post a link to the provari sleeves. I can't seem to find them on electronicstixs site. Thanks.



I've not dropped mine....YET. I've only had it for 4 months. But from reading this thread, it seems these things are either possessed or just prone to dropping! I'll keep an eye on this thing for sure!
:laugh:

I will add that I've bought a couple of Provari skins from electronicstix, so when/if 'it' happens, it won't scratch my beloved.:D

I haven't dropped mine, but I haven't had it too long. I am fairly careful with my stuff though.

Its like when you get a new cellphone. After it hits the ground, get a nasty scratch or just a nic somewhere. Its just down hill from there.. Suddenly 6 months later you are carrying around something that doesnt even look like the item you bought.

I might know what is going on with this. The top cap on my mini occasionally seems loose. I turn my provari on end, put it on a flat surface. I then press down on the bottom, and this presses the top back in place. I hope I've explained this well enough.

4 time getting out of car, once on tile floor snapping the 510 connection off the boge and the scariest....hearing a clink and thunk as it fell out of my pocket off the deck of my riding mower and onto the concrete sidewalk....only a few small scratches from all of it. Still going strong though!! I do want to get the new V2 I have the V1. Having the ability to go down lower to 2.9 would be nice and so would blue LED's.

Depends on the resistance of the carto
Its a high wattage for low resistance and low wattage for high resistance

For starters, I always set the voltage by adding 2 to the resistance
That puts me at a little above 8 watts
Then I go up or down from there, depending on rthe juiice
