I think I need to make a trip to the Provari dr.

Hi all..-

i have a Provari v2.5 that appears to be sick... can you tell me what kind of charges I could incur by sending it to provape for repairs?

Symptoms...
center pin was very dirty when I received the mod used... it is very clean now.
I stretched out the spring a bit on the extended cap to help make contact...

battery now makes contaft with the board and the button just flashes fast continually.
Peering into the window you can tell that the board assembly is moved up inthe mod closer to the top cap. Maybe by as much as .125-.187"

I plan on calling Provape tomorrow but wanted to see if any of you coukd shed some light on what might be happening? Ive had my 2.0 blem for over a year and its been flawless... This uone must have lived a rough life before it fell into my hands!

I appreciate the help!

Perfect... that's what I was after.

I know I'll be buying an extended cap and a handful of extra springs. Just hoping they'll be able to repair the board...assuming of course that's the problem.

Thanks,
Geo

Assuming threads have been thoroughly isopropyl-cleaned & Noalox'ed?
