ProChat - All Things ProVape and Beyond

Hey all... Great deals here!

 

[raitizz]

Meaning I should act quickly? Or they are just in the process of making more? Don't tell me this is one of those things that only gets produced to a certain number and then they stop making it...

Well, they appear and dissapear.

Dam it...I'm gonna have to end up with this Mark Bug's thing...Stanley...have you seen this thing???

Yes I have and due to its 21mm I was never interested in it... But now with the Radius and all these posts about it - I'm becoming intrigued. I used to be subscribed to the Gem thread, but I now lost it. Haha.

I'm also buying all-in on p3 connections though!

Yes, me too. I'm really getting into the P3 threading system!

Too funny, also too sad~! We must have married sisters, and I got the older one. Hot flashes anyone?

You DO know that in your next life you shall be a woman, yes?

We're supposed to wear clothes when reading the forums?

If socks count...I fail

I hate cold toes!

this falls under beyond

It took me some time to catch it, but when the video was first posted I managed to capture a moment in poffesinal vaping history:

Yeah the guy describes that in his listing, should make things a lot easier, I wont have to hunt out my old soldering iron and magnifying lenses
NEW ProVape, ProVari & ProVari Mini V1, V2 & V2.5 Replacement Push Button Switch

It's like my brothers trustworthy and reliable old friend now, it deserves to have a bit of tlc, get it back to its former glory!

When it arrives you need to post a pictorial of the repair process. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't quite visualize what you are talking about.

You think you're fierce, green apple? Ha ha ha ha ha! Smush.

I may be the only one who wants this for the P3 top assembly, but thought I'd throw it out there.

My favorite toppers include 19/20mm varieties which are perfect fits on the V1 - V2.5. I wish there was a beauty ring for the P3 cap that has about a 45 degree bevel, replacing the stock ring. I realize I can get the reduced top diameter using the optional Ego beauty ring kit, but that would also add length.

For much of my vaping, this would be the best of both worlds - a user replaceable connector and about a 19mm diameter at the top. With the addition of teardrops, it would be a retro option going forward!

I like that idea. I prefer the tapered top for blinging.

dark red rubber piece that you need to replace is held onto the button base by latches on both sides.

• Slide a pin under the latch on either side of the button and gently un-latch it away from the button. Once you've un-latched once side, grasp the button and move it in the opposite direction to un-latch the other side.
• Once you've un-latched the the rubber cap from the button, you should notice a small metal piece (the contact) lying on the base of the button. Remove the contact piece from the base of the button by touching it with the tip of a metal pin (the contact piece is lightly magnetized for easy handling).
• Once the contact piece is removed, clean the base of the button with isopropyl alcohol before installing the new contact piece and rubber cap.
• Follow the same dis-assembly procedure with the new button.
• Replace the new contact piece and latch on the new rubber cap onto the button base and re-assemble your ProVape device.
• Tip: Before securing the top cap, screw on your favorite atomizer and align the top cap in the direction you prefer the air hole to point. This will help minimize leakage.
• The top cap is easily pressed back onto the tube against a flat solid surface.

If the rubber cap of the button on your device is still in good condition then the problem may lie in the actual button base itself. You may try to re-solder the entire button to solve the issue. If re-soldering the entire button does not solve the issue then the problem most likely lie's elsewhere on the circuit board.

I'd still like to see pictures of the steps. I'm a visual person.

Many of us are either on the P3 or Radius Threads and sometimes it's hard to keep up with conversations going in both places.

A couple people suggested we need a place to come and chat that is not Provari device specific. Our very own Provari Fans and Friends Saloon. So, I asked the Mother Ship and they said "go for it and have fun!"

But, there are some very simple Ground Rules:

1. Conversations can be about anything you'd like to discuss. Want to tell us about a great dinner you just made? Go for it. Need prayers for someone near and dear to you, let us know. Want to know the best place to get a flavor of vape juice, by all means ask away.
   
2. Conversations which disparage Provape or Provari models will not be tolerated. This thread and the forum it is hosted on, is in the Suppliers house, paid for by Provape. Be respectful and we'll all get along. Show disrespect and expect Provape to show you the door.

Now, let's have fun!

Congratulations on your sticky! I like the new name too.

Me too, I am rooting for success in the revival of this ProVari

 

[The Ocelot]

Just my opinion:

I believe RB got this thread stickied because @Vape360 has been around more often. As I recall only MonsterKenny ever visited the Saloon. I did ask for the Saloon to be a sticky when we first moved over here from the ProVari forum, but didn't get a response. Perhaps we can catch up at some point. When the Diner hits 15,000 posts and is locked everyone can move to the ProChat thread, then when it hits 15,000 posts the new thread can become the Saloon again - it's not like any of us are leaving the ProVape forum.

I believe ElectronicStix.Com has them... their site is doing updates right at the moment, but I though I saw them on the site on Friday... AND, I may be wrong as well. Check 'em out... if I'm wrong, so sorry.
