How to clean your Pro Vari with a Bic Pen

[Braddahbill]

Now that I have your attention Its time to clean the battery contact inside your Pro Vari but you don't have or ran out of the long wooden Q-Tips that Pro Vari sells on their site. Just pull out the ink cartridge on a big pen cut a regular Q-Tip in half and insert it into the opening with a little twist to snug it up. Now just add a drop of alcohol and clean away.

​

You can also use the cap to clean off the center post as the plastic will not scratch it like a paper clip can.

​

Happy vaping

Great tip. I actually saw that cleaning kit like the day after I ordered my Provari and wondered if I err'd by not buying it. Thanks, I will be sure to try this once it comes time to clean mine.

Although first I have to have a Provari to clean! Arrrg, pulling my hair out waiting for this thing to ship!

Hi there!
This sounds good for every APV... just one question: why the Bic pen, is it to put more pressure on the threads while cleaning them?
Thanks for the advice

This allows you to clean the battery contact which is inside the tube near the switch and only accessible through the bottom of the battery tube. Great tip, I was just about to order some long q-tips on Amazon, thanks!

How often should you clean the contacts on the ProVari?

I like to use a Cratex Rod to clean the Contacts.

Makes them Factory Polished in a few Seconds.

I just ordered mine Monday shipped Tuesday. Black mini ext cap and 2 of each size batteries. Should be here tommorow can't wait

 

[Soundhunter]

Wondering - Can I use Everclear (PGA) to clean the contact points inside instead of 91-99% Isopropyl Alcohol?

I ordered my black satin, batteries, charger. Last Friday.. Haven't heard nothing from them..

Nyogel is your friend when it comes to battery connections and cap threads on high powered flashlights and e-cigs too

a little dab on both ends of the battery, and a dab on the threads of the cap..... mmmmmm butter smoothness

When I ordered the Regular Provari 2 it took 3 days to ship. I ordered a Black Satin and took 6 days to ship. It all depends just keep checking your eMail.
