Let's talk hardware

The following is a copy of a post I put on the BIG thread. I need to enlist all the help I can muster.

Going against my written request, InTaste sent my kayfun Plus by FedEx anyway.

So, now I need your positive thoughts and karma to get it through customs to my front door. Please, repeat the following statement at least 5 times whenever you think about it. Make it your mantra for the next couple days.



Chakris' kayfun Plus will slip under the radar and be delivered to his house.

It seems InTaste wasn't so bad after all. They hadn't actually shipped it. Just got email saying it would be sent by German post today and another saying it was indeed shipped! YAY! Also got a refund of postage difference.

Oh happy days! So now the wait begins.


EDIT: Still a good idea to keep the mantra going…

Question about the Provari:

Does the low battery light come on at different levels depending on the battery? Sometimes it'll come on at 3.3v and right now the AW IMR is blinking at 3.6v. I'll have to check which batteries were going down to 3.3v.

Mine is all over the map Chak. And I use AW IMR's exclusively. It's not the most accurate indicator.

I've had mine start blinking an refuse to fire with a battery with 4.12v

While your ProVaries are misfiring (or not at all) I'll be grabbing my Woodie for Christmas

Our Provaris are not misfiring pop. They never misfire (at least not mine). The battery level indicator feature gets a little wonky now and again. That's all.

I wouldn't know, for the obvious reasons. Just couldn't resist a little REOS humor there.....

Pretty hard to get your mind off a woodie I guess.

Like that's a looong time to wait.. that's only 43 days away!

Ask Chak to send you an inventory of what he's bought in the LAST 43 days, and you'll understand why he has to have that mantra of his..

Hope you have an hour to read it too.
They used to call it "The Power of Positive Thinking" now I think they call it "The Secret" aka "The Power of Attraction" We need all the good vibes we can get!

Actually, I'm gonna try to extend that even longer than New Year, Bridget.
After it (my last order) gets here, I'll have to change my mantra...

It's not his mind on the woodie I'm wondering about...

That's reassuring, somewhat.

...and this is not. How did you reset it, put in a new bat?

Nope, nope.... the Brass Finish RM2 that's waiting patiently.

I just pop the battery out and put it back in and that usually takes care of it. I'm not sure what causes it, maybe leaving it in my cold car

My ProVari tends to start to prematurely read a low battery when it needs a good cleaning. Have you done your maintenance on it lately? The gunk that accumulates on the positive and negative terminals will make it read a battery that has 3.7 volts as 3.5, 3.4, or whatever amount less the gunk obstructs a proper reading. If it sees this condition even momentarily, it starts to blink. I know when I see this, it is time for me and the ProVari to spend some quality time with my 99% Isopropyl. I have a blog on this process, if you are interested.

If you unscrew it enough for the battery to lose contact, and then re-attach, the condition goes away temporarily.

That's exactly what mine does and I've never given the contacts a good cleaning. Gonna do that today, thanks Lion!

Get you some 99% Iso if you don't already have it. You can find it on Amazon or eBay. I have yet to find it in a store. If you cannot find 99% and are waiting for it, you can use 91% in a pinch, but it will never cleanse your contacts like true 99% does. Also, get you some Noalox for the threads.

It is all in my blog...
