Unless you don't have another device..you're not screwed. One of the wonderful things about owning a provari is the ease of getting it fixed. If its got a warranty, repair is free. If not, you've still got one designated place to send it to. Repairability is one of the provari 's main selling points for me. :)

I dont have a backup device yet. And highly addicted to vaping. Couldnt decide if i should hit the store and start making a mod myself or just lie down in a corner and let the tears come.

I did contact provape, they replied pretty fast. Cleaned it/ dried it out yesterday. It started working again, just enough to get 4-5 drags off it until E5 error again. Cleaned it again, this time i used half the bottle while shaking it up. Some actually got into my eye. Not reccomended.

After it dried out it started working again. It gave me an E5 error once a coupple hours ago, but didnt lock down into it. Hopefully it stays working now, or i have to send it in.

Considering just getting another one. So i dont have a breakdown if it does :p

Need more info! "Cleaned it/ dried it out yesterday"? did it get wet somehow? What brand/type of battery are you using? Anything else happen that may shed some light on the issue? Was it perfect one minute and the next Error XYZ? You're leaving something out. Telling us the whole story will make it much easier to help.

It didnt get wet by any accident. But provape thinks some juice has gottn inside the device. Sometimes i get juice down at the battery connection and around the connection. Usually just wipe this off with a paper towel. Same with the drip shield or what its called gets some wet residue which i just wipe off from time to time. How juice came from these places into the device i dont know. I could not see anyhting inside the device.

Im using 18650 AW IMR batteries exclusivly. I have 3 of them. Al bought off the provape site.

It was perfect one minute then boom E5 error. I tried removing the carto etc, change battery.. shake it :p Gave E5 error no matter what.

Except from this i kinda wrote the story of cleaning and how i got it working again in my previous post. It gave me 1 E5 error after the second cleaning 2 days ago, but have been working since.
