It appears I may need new springs as well...I noticed when the light starts blinking(I have LED OFF in settings) I can remove the battery and put it right back in and it won't blink again for a few more hours.

I got 2 Provari's, one in Dec '10, the first run... and one a little later; after not liking the other smart pv on the market.
THey are both getting a full day each of constant vaping; I use each for different flavors ... no noalox, no issues nada.!
I go through a good 6 to 10ml a day.
My favorite is dripping ... on a reg. dse 901 atty (2.8 - 3.0 Ohm) at 3.7 to 4.8 volts (as the atty wears the resistance goes up).
I have a Pila charger and rotate 5 18650's, with a change required (for 2 vari's) a day. Yep I use the heck out of them, and never a problem.
Dripper's paradise here.

Just out of curiosity, if I were to buy one of the designer caps for my Provari, would it have the new spring, or has that not actually been implemented yet?
So are the new springs available for sale on the site? I looked and didn't see them, but no one ever accused me of being perfect, so I might have missed them.
I'm not necessarily worried about battery life, but I did lose a spring out of one of my endcaps. Not a huge burden, since I have three springs remaining, but I like symmetry. The missing spring preys on my mind.

Just wanted to say thanks for sending me one of the new springs...
Ironically I was looking at the endcap on my provari yesterday, and I popped out the spring. When I popped the spring back in, it didn't quite seat perfectly, so I pressed it in again. After that, I haven't had the false low battery a single time since...That was about 6pm yesterday, and I am still using the same battery at almost 8pm today.

In response to the OP, yes I am. I just unscrew the endcap partially and screw it back on. A forced re-boot if you will. Lots of things in my life have microprocessors. Most are susceptible to static and/or grounding issues. I call it loosing it's mind. Easy enough to reset, and this almost always solves the problem. JMHO

FWIW...i still have both of my provari's and i rotate 5 AW IMR's and still get the false "low battery" on both provari's with all 5 batteries. I occasionaly use a pair of trustfires and a AW IC...same issue.
MonsterKenney is going to send me springs when they get back in stock.....im hoping it will solve the issue

So I purchased my provari + extension cap on 5/28. Should I order some of those springs on the site for the hell of it because they are in fact better? At around 3.7-3.8 my Provari is starting to flash LED, but then proceeds to shutoff entirely instead of running to 3.3 while blinking. I had originally had the LED flashing early but still run until 3.3, after cleaning that was fixed, but now this is happening
I guess I'm lucky to be in the i guess majority of Vari owners without issue...
FWIW, both of mine start flashing at 3.5, and shut off; i think. If i rebooted, it would probably work til 3.3.. i guess.
but it seems 3.7 is too soon for it to start blinking.

does Provape offer 1st class shipping? im not gonna pay 5-6 bucks priority to get some $1.25 springs.
if i knew they had the best price around on the Pila charger b4 i ordered from somewhere else i'd be ordering it now along with some fancy end caps.

Maybe this has been asked before I'm not sure but, is there a resistance difference between this new spring and the older original spring ???
So a simple spring can stop the low battery reading?I own 2 one that does start flashing early might send it in so the light off mode it won't flash to soon,the other one i have i use the light off no blinking light till it's needing charged of course it's a newer one.
Again I have to ask this question to any Provape representative ( Provape 360, Monster Kenny ) would either of you guys be kind enough to let me know = does this "New Spring" have a different resistance than the original spring ?
Can someone who has the new spring and the old spring please put your meter on the two and check this for me please ?
ProVape -- is it different material? Is it all of the above?
Ya we all want to know!!!Yes, The new spring has a lower resistance and its made of silver coated copper. Its also a little thicker gauge wire.
