I've had my Provari for about a week know, and while I am overall quite happy, there is a small annoyance. I am wondering if this is just the way it is, or whether there may be a problem with my specific unit.

The UI occasionally stutters, meaning a button press doesn't get registered until I press again, and the 2nd registers as 2 presses. For example, say I am at 3.7 volts, and adjusting up

click - 3.8
click - 3.9
click - 4.0
click - still at 4.0, no change
click - 4.2

Not a huge deal, but annoying if I was aiming for 4.1.

I was initially chalking my experience up to bad button pressing on my part, but the fact that it jumps 2 spots on the next press was kind of weird, and then I decided I wasn't crazy when it completely hung up one time - it got stuck on the -- between Po and Cb and no amount of pressing would move it. I had to just leave it be and wait for the menu to go away, and then it of course worked normally.

Also, the button has never let me down when pressing for a vape. It delivers when it counts! :D

On all three I have, if I go too fast it will happen. I got into the habit of just rapid clicking to 5 to get to Pu and it wouldn't show, click again and Pu would flash by and then the --. Seems to be the click speed for me. If I actually click 5 times with a deliberate rate (somewhere in the 100 clicks per min rate) never fails.

Also have had it happen when already in the menu say at Pu and want to get to Cb. If I speed up and rapid click, again, it will skip past Cb. So for me seems to be the click speed.

However, what I can confirm is I can replicate it on a satin black, silver satin, and the mini. The satin black has the red LED as well, so not color specific. I can also avoid it easily by slowing down my click rate.

this actually happened to me just today. it happened because i didnt keep pressing to cycle through and i paused just for a moment on the double dash spot and it wouldnt let me go any further. just like when you pause at an actual command you have to wait for it to clear and start over to do a different command.

I also have the problem where it wont register and then double register with the next one and i think it comes from not pressing the button all the way down or just a solid push. I have actually gotten pretty attuned to it because i can forsee it coming just by me knowing i didnt press it down far enough.
