Is this the right spring??? - Provari

[datacreek]

I was having trouble with the battery warning coming on too soon so after a little reading cleaned the Provari (owned a little over a year) and it is working more like expected. While reading I learned that the replacement spring was better (less resistance) so I ordered two.
My question: Did I get the right springs. They are not copper which is what the one on the site looks like. The wire is a little thicker so might still accomplish the same thing but I was really expecting copper.
Plus the diameter is wider than the original which makes them almost impossible to get it. I mean really. I've somewhat mutilated them but got one in but not seated well.
I expected what I saw and this is a little of a surprise coming from ProVape. Eventually I'll probably ship it back for a V2 upgrade which should take care of this but...

Did I get the right springs?

My spring is silver and thick. I think u got the right thing and it is just updated. That's my guess.

No need for a copper hot spring since they are made to collapse as a protection and the Provari already has plenty of protection built in.

Very aware of the workings of the ProVari. Had it for over a year.
Did you read what i wrote??

I think Luma answered my concerns.

no need to be mean about it .I was just trying to help . nope didnt read it just guessed you were talking about copper springs. lol Provape only lists one spring on the site which shows a silver spring in the pic so i dont think you can get the wrong one.

Yeah, there are plenty of posts describing how difficult the springs are to install. And it looks like the replacement springs are made of heavier gage wire so even more difficult to install. If you figure out a method that works please share, plenty of people would like to know. Until then I'm leaving my spring right where it is.

Any time I clean my provaris I remove the spring. The trick I use is a the eraser end of a pencil and twist as I press it in. Works every time for me on all three of the provaris I own.

I've used needle nose pliers, holding the end of the spring and using a downward force, I then rotate the end cap counterclockwise to thread the spring into the end cap (yes, the end cap hole is threaded for the spring). If the diameter at the base of the spring is too wide, you can take those same needles nose pliers and twist the spring from the wide end into a tighter circle. This helps to seat it better.
