I finally got around to reading this entire thread, in particular the posts about proper cleaning. I cleaned the positive contact. It had quite a bit of buildup. I took the spring out of the endcap. It looked clean before taking the spring out, but it was actually quite dirty in there. I also used a pencil eraser to clean any soot off the positive and negative ends of the battery. I did this all about 7 hours ago and have just started getting the low battery warning. I'm thinking (hoping) this little nuisance has been taken care of.

I litterally recived my provari yesterday, and my low batterie warning come's on as soon as the batterie reaches 3.7.. Now I am not 100% positive on this but

someone told me since they are new batteries which I also recived with the Provari, They need time to break in... Or the batteries are bad and I need new one's.
But since They came with the Mod I will give atleast two week's to get some good charge time on them and if it still presist's then I will try somthing else.

I would like to know how your's turn's out though

I have recently been having the same battery issues. I generally vape between 3.5-4.2V with a regular Resistant atty, or sometime's a dual coil carto (Mostly the atty though) I never had the issue before, I always got at least a full days worth of battery out of my AW 18650's that I purchased with the unit. But recently my battery light has been coming on in half the time that it once did. (I have had the provari for about a month and a half) It's not a huge deal, just annoying. But there is something else I've noticed, my voltage appears off if that makes any sense. There are time's I can vape 3.3V and it feels like 4.3V, then another time where I will get almost no vapor from 3.3 (Using the same atty, same juice). When I'm vaping lately I find myself rechecking what my Voltage is set on because it just doesn't feel right. This issue came up the same time my battery light issue popped up. I don't know if anyone else has had this same issue or not....

Christopher, are you theads dirty on the provari? Try cleaning them to see if that helps. If the problem continues, please report back.

Ya know, I've already done a review on my provari (Aerovapor on Youtube) but I think I am going to do an update on customer service. You didn't NEED to go through and email me about sending a spring, but you did. The fact that you care enough to follow up with your customers says TONS about your customer service. Thanks again, looking forward to receiving the spring, sounds like it has fixed other people's issues.

Thanks!

Is this problem occurring only with batteries bought from Provape? Or has anyone had this problem with batteries bought from other vendors? Not implying that Provape is selling a bad product, was just wandering.

Edit: Seems as though the spring might have been the issue, didn't read the last page before posting :laugh:

After I got a spring to try out, problem has stopped and battery life is downright ridiculous(in a good way). 2 Days, yes 2 days!!!, on an 18650 vaping an IKV 801 Fusion that measures 2.8 at 5 volts the whole time! I'm thinking that the spring was the whole problem!!

Thats great news to hear! They told me they sent out a spring, but I still haven't seen it yet. When did you get yours?

I got it last Thursday. An heres a little update. I put in a fresh battery yesterday at 6:00am,used 801 fusion at 5.0 volts until 4:00pm yesterday, then switched over to a FOG feeder with HV IKV 901 at 5.5 until 12:00am this morning, popped on the fusion again at 6:30am and now at 11:00am it is reading 3.7 still!!!! WOW!!!!

These where test springs to see if this may be a cause of the problem. There where only a few sent out to a couple folks with the issue. The outlook with new springs is looking positive!
As for ordering these springs, if we find this is the exact fix for the problem, we will offer them on the site.

Can i get 2 of the new springs as well? I have 2 provari's and they both are still experiencing the issue.
