Not a big fan of the button

[Thrasher]

the powerpro is a custom tube that requires you to disassemble your provari and then insert the board and the topcap, then lets you use a 26650 battery. there's a video of how to do it and it just had me screaming "whyyyyyyyyy, whyyyyy would you do this!" at my computer screen.

umm nope then, not me, i just prefer to mod/refinish the real tubes, and i picked up a sort of non working one cheap. when i opened it i could see the button coming undon and upon further inspection i got to see inside. under the rubber button is a round piece of metal with a tab like the letter Q but with the tail inside. when you press the button it presses this tail onto a contact in the center. i can see this switch standing up to massive abuse with no moving parts inside.

the picture is that switch after i reassembled it. sturdy little board BTW.

When I started vaping I did like the click of the ego button.
I likened it to the lighter, so it replaced that part of the smoking ritual.
But I have to say the smoothness of the Provari button oh man.
I do miss the telescope feature kinda. But the precision
of that battery cap is flawless. Ok I know this was about the
button so forgive me but I'm in Provari euphoria.
I have been vaping so much that I am nic sick kinda lol

Man what a miserable piece of junk. Tell ya what I'll do I'll buy it off ya fer 20 bux. Then you won't ever have to worry about the button again. PM me! LOL

Don't listen to Raynman.

He is just giving you a Hard Time.

I kinda like the way the Provari button works. It's hard to Accidently Fire when it gets pushed against something. That and I HATE Clicky Buttons. The make me Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs.

BTW - I'll give you $21.95 for that Provari of yours with the Bad Button.

the button is an electronic switch, not a mechanical, this is why there is no click. so it does not like sleepy fingers.

the button on the outside is not connected to anything. it sits on a rubber button that when pressed pushes a spring plate onto the contacts and unless pressed solidly wont fire (dont ask me how i know lol) but this type of contact will last for years and is pretty sealed from fluids.

Good info there for those of us that may be "on the fence" about getting one.

I prefer interchangeable tubes to telescoping, at least compared to the way my ZMax telescopes. With an 18650 battery in it, the end piece of the ZMax has a bit of "wobble" to it.

I wasn't crazy about the Provari button when I first got it. But, it grew on me and now the flimsy buttons on my other devices are what bothers me.

Are those SS Vamo's or just the Chrome ones?

 

[Thrasher]

ooo i always wanted a "health keeping set"

 

[Raynman]

Damn I started a bidding war. Well Ravenous have you changed yer mind about the button? Now that you've had it for a while.

I think they all do - both of mine do. I sometimes find myself lightly tapping on them - click, click, click - the way I used to chew on a pencil eraser.

Received my first ProVari yesterday. The button does take more pressure to fire than on my Tritons, but I got used to that pretty quick. I think I was just scared to put too much pressure on it, but the ProVari looks so well made, I can't imagine the button breaking or getting stuck anytime soon.

I keep the light on my button turned off. It only comes on when the battery is drained. I guess some people think you should not drain the battery that far but I am still using the original batts I got from a couple years ago. Have a couple new ones two but they are all still in rotation. My only problems with a button malfunction is human error on my part. I do have a bad habit of placing my thumb nail between the button and the hole then pulling it out to make a click sound. Hope I am not filling it up over with little pieces of my nail.
