Maybe the atty pin isn't contacting in the Provari and it's reading no atty, Cliffy. Sometimes they ride high or low and don't work on certain devices. Did you try another one?
Cliffy,
Please post your results. If you are having this issue on other attys, please send me a PM or email at ken@provape.com

I've gotten an OP code too, but it meant the atty had blown, I was forcing too much power through an old atty I was trying to dry burn out. I'm surprised the atty still worked if it was reading OP on the ProVari. The only thing I can think is that the atty might be on its last legs and is still firing on lower volt than what you had the ProVari set at. I've also had attys work, then seemingly blow, then work again for a short while until the 'gunk' no longer forms a connection between the busted wires.

I had the exact same problem tonight... The center in of the atty was pushed in... It made a connection on my Buzz, but wouldn't connect on the ProVari... I tugged out the atty pin a bit and now it connects fine.

Yeh, just a guess, but don't blame provari for that one.
One of my main issues with the GGTS was the way that the centre pin slides between battery and atty. Do up the battery too tight and it pushes the centre of the atty upwards, too much and the insulation fails and you have a short circuit and a pipe bomb. Its probably on the way to being a shorted atty now.
Have a good look at the atty centre at the thread end and compare to a good one, I bet its recessed.
Not even going to start on my AVS issues, suffice to say not one cent of my hard earned in future will find its way back to greece.
I have a provape 14500 mod (patiently waiting for my provari) but is it normal for the battery post to move (click) back and forth?
Speaking of error codes. Has anyone else had any E8 errors? I had my Provari for about a week then it started giving me this E8 error and wouldn't fire. It wouldn't always give me the E8 error when it wouldn't fire but now it's constant no matter what atty / carto / battery I use. I've contacted Provape and they suggested checking the top pin but that doesn't seem to be the problem so now I have to send it back. Man... Talk about giving a little kid some candy and then ripping it back out of his hands. 
So I'm curious if anyone has had this problem and figured out a fix for it or what is causing it.

Hey man...I think you are the exception to the rule...blame it on statistical probability. You rolled Snake Eyes...stupid computers!
Hi Ken I have sent an email to you.......................and guys all is fine now Provari works a treat as I expected it to..........so a happy bunny here
LOL... If you only knew the half of it bro. Most people have one of those days, I have one of those lives. lol Sadly this really doesn't come as a surprise to me cause it could be raining "female anatomy part" outside and I'd get hit in the head with a "male anatomy part".
(That would sound funnier if I could use the actual words)
Thankfully Ken and Dave are great folks and they're going to help minimize my pain and shoot a replacement out as soon as I send them the tracking info on my return. Now I just gotta figure out how I'm going to get it to the post office. Long days at work suck on many levels.
Who knows.... maybe they'll toss in a couple of LR 306 atty's for the pain and suffering. lol
Dave, Kenny, & Phil are all great guys! They have answered all of my questions & emails in a friendly & helpful manner. I started using their banner in my sig for a good reason. I trust that anyone who buys from ProVape will be taken care of professionally.
I'm bummed for you! At least the guys are sending you out a replacement right away. The ProVari is a sweet machine.

Yeah, I went there & saw the $7.00 shipping charge to mail me one atty!!! Funny how they hide that until after you give them all your info.
Hello everyone. The angels in heaven are singing in my ear today as I happily vape away on my new ProVari. It arrived in excellent time. It went out on Tuesday and I received it here in Michigan this afternoon. 2 day transit across the county is pretty darn good, I tip my hat to USPS (though I still hold a grudge from past experiences lol).
There wasn't much to the packaging. The ProVari was rolled up in bubble wrap and the charger and batteries were each in their own baggies. Honestly I am happy that there isn't any fancy packaging. Who needs a fancy box to drive up the price anyway?
I didn't get the extension so I just ordered two standard 18490 batteries and put them on the charger right away. I'm not sure how long it took to top off as I had lunch plans with my mom (aww how sweet ) The LED indicators were both green by the time I returned. I put one in and attached my most recently used Cisco LR306. First I have to say that it has been under-performing the last few days on my eGo. I had tried cleaning it but it was still significantly weaker than when it was new. I press the button and see "E2" ... aww crap, whats that now? ah yes, the voltage is too high for the LR atty.
After a few button presses I set the voltage to 3.3, I figure I should try it out at what the eGo puts out. Yep, hits about the same as it was on the eGo. Crank it up a bit to 3.7, now that is much better. 3.9 is as high as I could go without getting an error and boy was that puppy cranking out the vapor. It was hitting better than brand new!
Throughout the day I tried several different atties. I also had a lot of fun testing the ohms as I've never had a multi-meter to test them myself. I found one of my atties measured in at 3.0, no wonder it hit like a wet noodle on my eGo. My clearomizers even worked well but I had to tone down the volts as they tasted burnt pretty easily. So then I dig out my very first atty (from my first kit I got on 10/26/2010). I had tried de-bridging it a while ago in an attempt to bring it back to life with no luck. The ProVari shows it at 2.6 ohms so I set the volts to 4.0 and drop in 4 drops. Whoa it hits like a beast! It doesn't matter what I put on the ProVari. I just test the ohms, set a voltage and adjust it up or down and it vapes like a champ.
The menu system is very intuitive. It only takes a short amount of time to get the gist of it and I already scroll through adjust settings without any trouble and its only been one day. The finish on this thing is amazing. It has just the right amount of texture to have a really good grip, yet still look shiny and polished. I have scrutinized this thing thoroughly and it is damn near flawless! The LED is very bright and very readable. The threading for the end-cap screws in silky smooth and tightens down perfectly flush with the base of the unit. The atomizer connection seems to be built like a tank and the reservoir is very roomy without detracting from the look of the unit at all.
The button is soft and not clicky at all. I was worried about that when I ordered but I am happy to report it is very responsive and I already like it better than clicky buttons. Like others have said, it does have a fair bit of weight. I like the weight though as it really makes the ProVari feel incredibly solid in your hand. The ProVari emblem on the side is a brilliant touch, I hope that it doesn't wear off easily.
In closing I have to say that the ProVari has met and exceeded all my expectations. This mod deserves all the hype and it totally lives up to it in every way. I cannot thank the ProVape team enough for creating such a masterpiece. I feel that this, my first mod, will really be the last mod I ever need. (well, I may want to try out a bottom feeder one of these days )
Vape on!

)Vape on!There was a correction to the manual recently, sorry about the confusion ..OP means "Open" and you will get this reading if the atomizer/cartomizer is 9.9 ohms or higher indicating a bad atty. If this happens, toss it

Or check your atty center pin to make sure it's not pushed in preventing it from making contact, in which case it will ALSO read OP...
HOLY CRAP!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!
That is all I can say. This thing is AWESOME.

I'm beggining to think that there should be a designated person who's packing a tranquilizer gun. I'm starting to worry that in all the excitment of a new provari someone may work themselves in to a heart attack or run in to a wall and get a concussion.
