mlrgrl: have you ever gotten the "e4" error? manual says to contact provape (which i did)...weird. got it twice. also, do you notice the attys burn HOT HOT sometimes? is that normal?.........
..........BTW, with a fully charged small battery i got only 4 hours. very disappointing. but the larger battery seems to be lasting into the 8 hours range at least so far. think i might just stay w/the big
batteries. i got 3 of the big
batteries to always have one fully charged and waiting to be swapped out.
Sadly, no; I haven't had that one. So far, I've only had E1-3, when I wasn't paying attention and swapped atty/cartos with major Ohm/Voltage swings.
Has it been a constant thing, or when you switch to a different atty/carto, does it kind of correct its self?
Either way, especially with this price tag, it should be perfect and any deviation should be brought to ProVape's attention.
The first person I heard getting this was from the guy in Scotland who has been doing reviews since before I started vaping (his name escapes me...think it starts with an E or I?... he was the one who promised me I wouldn't regret it if I switched from 901s to 510s. He was so right & may have kept me from returning to the dark side....). If I remember correctly, he'd get a few hits off a different atty/carto before it would start doing it again and there was no way for him to actually use the unit.
It was kind of funny that he of all people was one of the first people to have such major issues with his ProVari.....
510 attys are very notorious for getting very hot hot hot. That was one beauty (or drawback) of having the cone on the eGo - you never really noticed it.
The other nice thing about the cone is you never had to deal with the sweat, like one had to with a standard 510 battery. Oh, how I did NOT miss those days of having to make sure I had napkins with me! While the ProVari has a really nice, deep juice well on it, when used with an atty with a cart (don't think it's every leaked on me while dripping), one still has to carry little bits of napkin incase the well starts to fill up, but at least it doesn't become a bloody mess like before. Another reason I'm pushing myself to switch to cartos.
OH yeah; I've been able to suck down one of the shorties in about 4 hrs before.

It was after that, that I decided to turn the button light off, thinking every little bit of energy that wasn't used could go towards my vaping.
Now that a month has passed, I am starting to notice that the batteries seem to be lasting me a little more and more each day. I don't know if I'm starting to settle more into a more normal vaping pattern, I'm not fiddling with the voltages as much (every time a light goes on, a battery looses a little juice hee hee hee), or if Jupiter is rising in the second sun. I almost got an entire day out of the bigger battery the other day and that's HUGE for me. Guess I'm figuring as long as it's lasting as long as my eGo, I can deal with that.
mlrgrl will be getting back to you shortly - today is Sunday and she is quite religious (almost became a Nun at one time)
Who told you my secret? (I actually did when I was around 8 yrs old)
But ya know, that whole poverty and chastity thing.....
Actually, the culprit was my new cell phone. Trying to relearn a whole new phone system has me completely consumed. I really should read the manual...that would probably help me but play n learn is just sooo much fun!
Now, where was I .........
Actually, in this group, we prefer to call First Time User/Purchasers not Experts, but rather 'Guinea Pigs' - right Vick's?
Amen to that, Brother C-kool
#3893...
Do you ever use cartos w/ this? I am not into the cart/atty thing. My atty's always taste like crap, no matter what I do. If you do, which ones?
Thanks! I'm told you are THE expert on this mod....
As per the quote above, definitely not the expert....just the first in the group to bite the bullet and purchase on presale LOL
Yes! While attys provide the tighter TH I prefer, by having the ability to adjust the voltage, the ProVari has helped me appreciate & enjoy cartos more than I ever was able to before.
As to what type....hmmm....mostly I've using just standard ol' 510 cartos that I have a huge amount of from Cigtechs (still can't figure out how I got so many of them.....). Off the top of my head, I do have some Boge 510s, Gen Joyes, E2s and Clearomizers, but with so much going on here since the holidays (I just got my PV on 27DEC), the standard ones are the ones I've really been using the most since I can just drip right onto them & don't have to worry about using a syringe or any special care.
The biggest benefit to having a variable voltage device is it allows you to enjoy just about any kind of atty/carto, since you can dial it in to your specific desires. Now, it doesn't matter if you have LRs, HRs or just regular ol' cartos.
One of the major drawbacks of the ProVari, is the size/weight of the unit. But in this ever changing industry, I have no doubt that too soon (read; before I've had the ProVari long enough to convince MlrMan I need a new toy LOL), there will be a sleeker design about the size of an eGo with a mega battery to match in all kinds of pretty colors.
The vaping world is changing just as fast, if not faster than technology world right now. No matter what we buy, it's going to be obsolete within mere months, if not days. We just have to decide our wants, needs and desires & what ever it takes to keep us off the analogs is the perfect solution.
