Hi there. I can't post this anywhere but the new members' forum because I'm new. I've been lurking for quite a while though.
Brief history: started with very cigarette-looking E-cigs about 10 months ago, switched to Ego twists/tanks because the flavor was magnitudes of order better (and cheaper using your own liquid), and I'm really happy to say I have no desire to smoke a regular cigarette ever again. "Quitting" was easy (though it doesn't feel like I've honestly quit!).
I've been happy-ish with the Ego twists for a couple months.
Finally, I started reading about Provari E-cigs, and I had to have one. Made in the US, warranty, seemed sturdy, great reviews, and I like gadgets. So I bought one.
I love it -- the flavor and hit is smooth, just enough throat hit if I dial it up enough, and the adjustable voltage is better then the Ego twist, though the button clicking is more work. Regardless, I would say I'm a satisfied customer, except the following.
I bought the starter kit which comes with two high-drain batteries. I took one out of the shipment and put it into the Provari. I charged the other, which didn't take long at all (the charger light was green within half an hour).
The first battery died pretty quickly, but I figured that was because it came from Provape partially drained. So I charged that. Then I left for the evening with the newly charged battery in the Provari and the second charged battery on me.
The first battery ran out within a couple hours of moderate vaping, the second ran out later in the evening while vaping moderately, after a 2-hour movie with no vaping. So I basically had nothing last night (except a backup Ego I grabbed before I left. Guess I would have just gone without otherwise.)
When I got home today, I charged both batteries (charging was really fast again -- maybe 45 minutes for the more drained one). I put one charged battery back in, and it's still there, but I've had to take it out and put it back in a couple times when the Provari thinks it's dead. It turns out not to be dead each time.
The "check battery" function reports the voltage around 4.1/4.2 when newly installed. Reporting 3.8 right now (and this was hours after charging it), but I have had to take it in and out a couple times, and I've seen it reported as low as 3.4 (maybe 3.2?).
Any ideas? It seems like taking the battery out and putting it in again resets something, but the Provari itself won't even let me take a hit when it thinks it's dead (blue button flashing, etc.).
