He never owned a provari. Not one mention on what was wrong with it. And provape has bad customer service? If you call then after 3 years of use, of course they aren't going to fix it for free. I could call them and say I threw it through a wall and they would still fix it for their nominal fee. He's just a provari hater.

Constant dry hits, then it might get in the groove by the end of the day, & start all over again.
That's why I usually didn't take it anywhere, inhaling like crazy, no vapor production...at all!
I sent it back to Provari twice, they said the same thing on the phone & e-mails...user error.
I tried everything, brand new batts, fully charged, thinning the vg more. It was working with thicker vg on the Cisco atts. (btw Everclear is what Cisco rec. for thinning, a drop or 2, it's like whap!)
Provari was nice the 1st round, but after that, no! I asked for a replacement, that's all, a product that works for the money I spent. It got ugly.
Also, during the few times I got it vaping very nicely, I'd take a hit, set it down, red light went on, saying it was set to 5.3. I did not touch that button after taking a hit, it just reset itself...a lot!
Given that, it was difficult to appreciate.

Dry hits? Ummm. That's the topper not the ProVari. Dry hits are caused by liquid not saturating the wick properly or too much cotton. It also can be caused by having your device turned up too high. No wonder they said user error. Dry hits would be a user issue.
This is a joke right? Dry hits? Blaming a device for dry hits is like blaming the glass because you put sour milk in it. LOL. This is a joke. If not, wow! Really?
Provape can't fix dry hits! That would be whoever build your coil/wick. It also depends on the juice wicking properly.

I was ready to give you a whole lot of sympathy and hugs for your loss. I absolutely love my Provaris and keep close tabs on both of them. I would be utterly distraught if I lost one of them.
Still everyone is different.
If you are having dry hits, have you tried the carto tank combo? Never a dry hit once you prime the carto properly.

So it Isn't the Glass after all. Interesting.
But that Kinda Makes sense. Seeing that my Frig hasn't worked for Weeks.
The Provari ran away from home cause it was being accused of something it had no control over. 
your Provari is not lost ... just like many abused animals, he's just wondered off and has been adopted by some loving vaper
He's probably cozied up on the couch right now watching his favourite vape videos ... his new owner is probably enjoying a nice frosty beer to quench that ever satisfying vape his new best friend Mr. Lost Provari is providing
Provaris are never lost for long.
I have left my 2 standard size ProVari alone for long periods of time - no minis produced yet....
The Vapor Shark DNA 30 is a small, lightweight regulated VW device that has more power than your Provari.
If you are using a Cisco HH.357 built for VG juice the likelihood is that your dry hits are from the HH.357 not being able to wick fast enough for the vapor production that you desire. There is likely nothing wrong with your atty nor your Provari but it sounds very much like they are probably not the right tools to achieve the type of vape you are wanting.
If it's huge clouds you are after you will need to learn how to build rebuildable dripping atomizers. The Vapor Shark DNA 30 would be a good device to use on which to learn. That may well be enough to satisfy you for the type of vape you are after. However, if it isn't you will have a safe playground on which to learn how the relationship between coils, wicks, airflow and chimneys affect the quantity of vapor and taste before moving on to something more powerful which requires some very serious, time consuming battery safety study.

Sounds like your topper and juice. But things you can do are make sure your contacts are clean and apply some Noalox to the threads.

Maybe they are wethers. I've left my two goats together for years but no babies yet - they are wethers.

Maybe one was a Male but the Other was Not a Female. Or Versa Visa.
I made no accusations to the provari, just went back to egos. So, it didn't run away over hurt feelings.
