Provari = Epic Fail

[Train2]

Surprising, and not consistent with what I've seen - I've seen stable and accurate voltage and ohms readings on my ProVari.
But I HAVE seen some weird fluctuating Ohms readings before - usually on a coil that's about to give up.

Could it be that there's something hinky with your connection (you know, a recessed pin or something)?? - that kind of imperfect connection could certainly cause the change in reading resistance...

I did. Provari outperformed the others, but I'm a numbers guy. The numbers don't add up.

So. The fact that the numbers make no sense TO YOU and YOU only, constructed a fail of the Provari for you even though you say it outperformed your other mods?

Weird.

Better Vape = fail in your world.

Good luck to you.

Let us know what you consider a non fail mod. I am sure we all are on the edge of our seats in wonder.

(I fully admit I have failed in my intent to never feed trolls. Sigh)

There's dozens upon dozens upon dozens of threads that have a more realistic review than this... well whatever this is.

This wasn't a review. Just stating my personal experience.

I posted in the other thread by mistake ... this is where the big posts will be

Probably a faulty chip. It happens. I don't own a Provari anymore, but the two things that make them a great device are their build quality and customer service. Nothing special beyond that, but if you did manage to get the 1 in 100 defect then they'll take care of you.

You have to excuse a total noob here, maybe I'm a little befuddled vaping on one of those epic failures.

I slap a freshly charged battery in mine, mount a tank, check the voltage to match it to the juice I'm vaping and enjoy.

Not once have I heard my taste buds screaming at me "OMG the ohm reading is off by 0.2% you got to quit vaping that epic failure".


Sorry you don't like yours but there are plenty of other devices around maybe you can find one that gives you accurate readings, your vape might not be so great but the ohm reading will be accurate.

Hey I'm not saying the vape wasn't better. I'm saying the readings do not make sense. That's all, nothing more, nothing less.

This thread was sponsored by China. OP gets 4 yen every time he denounces ProVari.

Actually, the thread title suggests quite a bit.....no, absolutely more. L2 use Epic Fail more responsibly.

Sounds like you need to clean the threads in the bottom of the tube and base cap.
Scrub them good with a q tip and rubbing alcohol until they are spotless.
Wipe them with white tissue or napkin to make sure they're clean.
A dab of noalox on the clean threads is a good idea.

If that doesn't take care of it, provape will.


What battery(s) are you using in it? Genuine AW IMR?

 

[Stormy1960]

So I got sucked into the Provari stigma. Here is what my experience has been in the last week. Looking forward to the Provape sales reps to chime in (we all know who you are).

PU - PD (Voltage)
Maybe. Not being an electrical engineer I can't say how accurate the device is.

CB
Check the battery. For me this time it measures 3.9 at first, then on same screen drops to 3.8 then 3.6. Which is it? Then check after that before any hits it measures 3.5, ...

Ohms
VERY IMPORTANT. Ohms checked in at 1.9 then climbed up to 2.1, same screen. Checked again it was 2.0 and climbed to 2.2 same screen.

It is a solid device, and if your likely to drop it and not care how accurate the most important data it outputs is, buy it. For me, waste of money and it now takes a back seat to my other very inexpensive mods. Provari Fail!

Have you contacted Provape with your concerns?

My car is supposed to tell me my avg MPG. I did my own math at the pump and found it was off by 3mpg. It drives and looks great, it's fast and gets excellent gas mileage........ Doesn't matter. I refuse to drive it and I'm warning people not to buy a Chevy on all the Chevy forums. I'm Batman.

It's funny how Ohms law is sooooo important unless you own a Provari. In that case, it's close enough. Yep I just typed that.

You bought the only one that is inaccurate. Feel special now?
Have you contacted provape?
Tried cleaning the threads?
Using the correct battery(s)?
Using a prostank on it?
Do you want it to work like all the others do or just vent / rant like a .... hurt 16 yearold about it.

 

[Ladiekali]

Owning a provari is a big responsibility. Its not for every one,
One should only purchase a ProVari when they a ready.
Maybe you werent ready?
Or
Maybe your provari has rejected you?
This ofcoarse is just my opinion only.

Also im pretty sure it is against rules to post the same thread in multiple places.

Your posts are beginning to show your ignorance.

I suggest you contact Provape if your not satisfied with their product.

No matter how much you want to passive aggressively troll ECF and the Provari owners on this forum, you are very much in the MINORITY with your issues/opinions.

Judging by your tone in this thread, you don't want a positive solution to your problem, you just want to continue to thumb your nose at people much more knowledgeable than you.

Carry on.

Really? Chevy? My tranny dropped 3 times due to manufacturer failure until they were smart enough to fix it. Yes, it is a Chevy. I can talk about why my roof leaks but this is not the forum.

 

[glassgal]

So Juice Layer, which mods are you using now that are better than the Provari?

As for the CB, does that matter? Isn't it about the consistency of the vape? I think most of us use a battery to fire our atomizer, not to study the battery holder . For that purpose, the most consistent battery holder = best battery holder in my mind...

I don't know much about batteries so I can certainly be wrong here, but isn't the CB supposed to measure how much battery life is remaining in the battery?? What bearing does this have on your battery performance?

A better reply would be...ok I will check the things suggested here and if I am still not happy will contact Provape. I have several Provari and they don't do what you said yours is doing...
