Did all that, many times. Sometimes, it seemed to make a difference, for a day or 2.

Ok.... Getting another device is not going to fix your dry hits though. You need to master that first. Buying another device is good but work on fixing your issues with whatever topper you're using. Btw what are you using? And are you rebuilding them yourself?
nice responses, guys. 
infallible electronics, eh?
you guys know such a thing doesn't exist, right? gasp!
so let's just say for the sake of argument there was one (just one... ever) flawed provari pcb. (i'm sorry, lord, for i have sinned)
now let us say that this one particular board either threw a voltage that was way too high regardless of setting or none at all... and sometimes, randomly it would display the voltage it was actually throwing regardless of setting.
and let us say for the sake of argument, the last .01 or .02 volt in the battery before it died limited the output on the board producing great hits... but it didn't last long... maybe 1 to 5 hits.
this would sum up the OP's problem perfectly. though, the OP (thymetraveler) doesn't know how to explain this phenomenon in terms related to warranty support, so provape thinks "user error".
and then thymetraveler comes here looking for suggestions and gets railroaded by a bunch of fanbois who apparently know the beloved provari is infallible.
yes, i have had a bad provari. yes, provape was very quick to warranty it and fix it. yes, provape went out of their way and gave me a wonderful, plastic, cheap carto tank for free for my troubles. but there's always going to be one who slips through the cracks no matter how good a company is.
sounds like this may be the one.
sorry for your troubles, thymetraveler.
please explain in the best details you can give what it is you're looking for out of a new mod and what your budget is. or better yet, open a new thread asking for suggestions without mentioning a provari. you might get answers instead of ridiculed that way.

ProVari said it was user error, not the board according to the OP.

That's all fine and dandy but he sent it in for repair, twice! Had there been a real issue Provape would have found it. Especially the second time. If he hadn't sent it in, then yeah your response would be possible but given the fact he sent it in twice I very seriously doubt its the device. It sounds more like its whatever topper he's using, poor build, too much wick, or bad juice. User error.
View attachment 340818Focus on the user error, not hating on Provari owners! Geeze!
you know how many mechanics and EE's have told me they couldn't get something to cause the same fault i experienced? then had to fix it later... after 3, 4, 5 or more attempts at finding the ghost fault?
no surprise here.
i have faith in my mechanic. i grew up with him and know he performs miracles. but when the problem doesn't show itself for him, he is useless.
I can't believe that you had a ProVari for 3 years and still did not learn enough to get a good topper setup. The ProVari is only the power supply (the most accurate and consistant IMO), and has nothing to do with VG/PG.
I think it would be safe to assume that it 'WAS' user error.
I recommend learning enough to get a good topper setup first.
Good luck

Well that's your mechanic! I've yet to hear of Provape dropping the ball! Sure, accidents happens and things may get looked over but twice? Provape has excellent customer service and repair. I'm sure they checked and rechecked numerous times before calling it user error, both times.
i own more than one myself........
Me too. And I'm no fanboi! I have many different devices. But once he said "dry hits" I knew right away it was user error! I'd like to know what topper he was using and if he was rebuilding them himself.
look. i'm not interested in a petty internet argument. i'm just saying lighten up and be helpful if you can find it within yourself. we're supposed to be a community here to help each other.
and yes, i'm familiar with provape, their reputation, their credentials and their warranty. doesn't make them or their electronics infallible. splat happens. give the guy (or gal) a break. offer to buy the provari if you feel so sure of yourself.
(selling it in the marketplace with a disclaimer would be a good idea)
Maybe I Missed it. But I thought the OP came here saying that He/She Lost their Provari. (It was Kinda the Title of the Thread.)
As for Getting Railroaded? If that was Railroaded, it was a Very Small Train. Maybe HO Scale or something.
Not Sure how a Mod would Give someone Dry Hits that Isn't user Error. But just because I haven't heard or seen it Doesn't mean that it Couldn't Happen.
But it Kept Happening after sending the Mod back in a Couple of times? Sounds more like Too Many Volts on Too Few Ohms for the e-Liquid the OP was using to me.
one was already mentioned. and at 5.3 volts (which op mentions it set itself to), it would definitely provide dry hits regardless, pg, vg, thinned or not.
agree. not likely. but possible.
agree as well. though, that doesn't mean the provari wasn't to blame at least part of the time. op did mention it setting itself to 5.3V.
I'm was Never sure if the Provari went to 5.3v on it's own. Or if that is what the Provari was set to by the OP.
If Fact, I never heard Much about what Volts/Ohms the OP was using. Even when People Asked.
And I never heard the OP Ask for any Help. Just Came to say that they Had problems vaping. And now the Provari is Lost.
