Are they button top batteries?? Any pics of the batteries...?? Are you placing the pluss side up.... Did you click the button 5 times while watching the display?? Is your coil good??

They are button tops. I don't have any atty attached. I have tried clicking 5 times. And I am putting plus side up. I have tried the Panasonic button tops after my AW button tops didn't work. None are getting juice to the device. On mechanical mods I got check for continuity etc... Not sure how to do the same on the Provari.

I was. I got one of the batteries to work. I cleaned the nipple on it and it is making contact now! Awesome. I guess I need to get some new batts nipples must be getting worn out.

But the Provari is now fireing great!

Thanks for all the help.

I'm not being critical of you or the Provari. Trust me. I'd like to own one some day. But I'm chuckling a bit here after that Provari thread yesterday. I mentioned in that thread that I hear Provaris are not fault-free and I hear many posters whining about having their Provari in the shop. I about got lynched for saying that. Good luck with getting yours up and running.

Great ... Just watch the dirty contacts as that creates resistance and can cause heat issues... And heat and batteries are an explosive combination.... Enjoy..

Yeah they weren't dirty but I do think I might have been over tightening my telescoping mod. This think is really cool now that it's fireing well.

Not sure about the thread yesterday but I don't expect anything electronic to be error free. I also get a kick out of the discussions on how mechanical mods will last forever. Of course that assumes you stock up on the proprietary parts. Or have a small machine shop to make your own.

I got the Provari for the safety features would rather send in a mod to be fixed than to have one catch fire or worse.

Ok I feel that I need to post an update. After a rough start, this Provari has been chain vaped for the last 8+ hours and just now is telling me the battery is low! I am AMAZED! I have tried all sorts of APVs, including knock off VV devices. None of them have given me a regulated vape for this long while chain vaping. I am thoroughly impressed. If this keeps up I am pretty sure my wife will be hiding my debit card. Thanks Provape! BTW... the ProVape customer service replied to my initial email within 30 mins. I posted here as I was afraid they weren't in on a Saturday. The response time from them was very impressive. I am very thankful for a great device and a great company.

And yet you decided to come into and comment on a thread where the Provari was in fact, fault-free. LOL. For the record we know the Provari is not fault-free, but you insinuate that there are LOTS of threads about Provari's being "in the shop", and that just doesn't seem to be the case.
