That was a well laid out trap, Lion. Did your lady set it up for you?! ;)

Even though male lions have a reputation for not hunting, it is totally false. They don't hunt during the daytime, when their manes can spoil the ambush. But at night, we know how to trap the most elusive prey. It was not known until they started filming lions with the night vision cameras that this was the case!

So, no, it was my own idea. Thank you, I don't get the drop on you every day, Dusty. Too bad for you, one time getting tricked by a lion can be fatal!

So true. Mr. Lion also helps in the daytime when the lady lions try tackling something too large for them. But, by and large, the ladies feed their man the bulk of his diet. Keeps their pride safe when you have a well fed Mr. Lion. :)

Yes, your grasp on lion lore is solid, Excellency! An injury to the pride male during a hunt, and all the cubs would be toast if a challenger shows up. The first thing a successful challenger will do is kill every cub under one year old instantly so the lionesses will go into heat for him. The defense of his cubs is truly at the core of all of the Pride Male's responsibilities. Whether dusting up hyenas who mess with his lionesses, marking his turf so the pride lands are not infringed upon, or putting the smack-down on a would be usurper, it is all about the fruit of his lion-loins.

I hope this is the right place to ask this. Since the leaky vivi of last night and discovering it this morning, my Provari has been acting flaky. Is it possible that some juice got into the device and is messing with the inner workings? I've put a fresh battery in and it powers intermittantly. I know it is not the nova that I'm using because it is working perfectly on my twist that I'm using now. I did take a qtip and swabbed the inside of the Provari but I'm wondering if I should just dunk the whole thing in 90% rubbing alchohol. What do you think?

I have read how Provari recommends to fill the Provari with the alchohol to clean them if they accidentally take a plunge in a coffee cup or something. Just was wondering if there is anyway that the juice would make it to the inside. I couldn't tell if the juice ran down the outside so I'm thinking that it did get to the inside and created the liquid on the table from that center hole.

Or as some lion experts would say, he's wired to spread his DNA at all costs. Ensures the survival of the species. Nature can be a rough place.

Robin, put your Provari in retirement for the night and put in a ticket with Jennifer (was that her name?) at ProVapes and explain the same thing to her. She'll give you guidance. I wouldn't trust me or anyone on this one. Get recommendations straight from the horses mouth on this. Especially when you are talking about immersing your Provari.

The battery I thought was fresh, isn't so fresh. I thought about it and I might not have charged it :facepalm: So I'm charging them now and see what happens. I've cleaned the Provari and I will let it sit overnight. If I'm still having problems tomorrow, I will open a ticket with ProVape.

Thanks guys!

You do know that the Provari can tell you how much charge there is in your battery right? Also, I highly doubt that liquid made it into the Provari through the connector because that sucker is pressure fitted in there to the tune of 500lbs. Ain't nothing getting in there. Also, IF somehow it did make it into the body tube, you would have had a sticky mess in your hand when you unscrewed the bottom cap, from liquid in there.

I would think the battery is at fault here, not the device.

Kinda hard to get the Provari to give me a battery reading when it won't turn on correctly LOL! And true about the bottom cap. Thinking back, the cap was not wet inside. I did look at it. But there wasn't a sticky feel on the Provari either..... such a mystery. Like I said, I've cleaned the contact on the inside and the batteries are charging.

Maybe the Twist just wanted more attention?
