I assume you tried different attachments or cartomizers on it and if you are using LR you started out at 2.9 volts . I did have a problem that I traced to the cartomizer I was using . Provape has good customer service so that shouldn't be a problem . I have 5 provari's and I have never had a problem that didn't turn out to be something other than the provari . Two of them are mini . You might also take the battery out to sort of reboot it and try a different cartomizer that you know is working and has no loose connection or anything in it . If it turns out to be the mini I feel for you it is just good you have a full size backup .
Yep I've tried different cartomizers, batteries etc etc and still getting error E5 and now E8 as well so something is up I think. I am glad I have my full size for a backup . I sent an email off so I expect I'll hear from them soon

That sucks
I have had E5 on my Provari, but only when I use an atomizer that was being bad. Stopped when I changed atomizers.

How's the centre-post looking Torozzgrl?! Did you get any juice or moisture into the innards?
No juice or anything in the innards and the center post looks nice and clean. Provari emailed me back and suggested I do an Isopropyl flush so I will give that a try and see how it goes. If that doesn't cure it then I think they'll have to have a look at it.
Check to see if the centre-post is somehow pushed in a bit, it could cause the postive and negative sections to make contact, and cause an error. Do you use a sealed 510-510 connector on the device between the atty/carto and Provari?
yes I do
My reason for asking is because those sealed connectors (I use them too) are notorious for pushing the centre-post down on devices causing them to short out. I prefer to first lock down the sealed connector on the device and then attach any atty/carto to it. The key is then not to over-tighten the atty/carto to the sealed connector thus forcing it to push the post down.
In your case, take the sealed connector off the Mini and gently pry up the centre-post on it. Then either switch to a different sealed connector or test out the atty/carto directly on the device. Hopefully the problem goes away.
Ohhh! well isn't that interesting! Ok, thanks!!! I'll let you know how I make out
lol yes
I don't have anything to try to pry it up with but I did the wash. I'll have to see if I can find some thing around here that would work. What did you use?

Since you guys are already talking about the mini I want to know something about the wash. Can all of the internals be cleaned? Is it ok to just fill up the whole tube or use a high grade electrical contact cleaner?
They advised me to use about 1 oz Isopropyl flush (99% or 91%) and pour it directly into the tube (after removing the battery obviously ) and swish around and let dry completely. Sometimes the innards get dirty apparently. I don't know if you can use electrical contact cleaner. Anyway, I emailed them and am waiting for a reply. I expect they'll want me to return it or something because now I am getting E1, E5 and E8 errors. I won't attempt the center post push thing. Don't wanna mess with it in case that messes with my warrantly.

k so the poor thing had to be sent back for repair. We hooked it up to a digital volt meter. We tested it while it was set at 3.4 and the meter showed 6.2..not good
I have a full size provari as well and while set at 4.0 and the meter read 4.0 so we know it was kapoot ....off goes the baby

and my little provari is now on it's way back to me. I guess something went wrong with the electronics. I miss that little thing!
