I am getting so fed up with Dual Coil Cartos. I have been through tons so far and only about 3 hit like they were supposed to. Its really making me mad. SmokTech needs to learn how to go back to producing quality instead of producing crap.

WHEN dual coils work good they are awesome. I usually vape the 1.5s at 3.7v or 3.8v and i really like the 2.5ohm at 5v. I think its time to try some CCV 1.7 resurrectors on this ProVari.

Hello to everyone

I just received the device.

I only used it for 5 minutes and since then I get an “E1” error on the display and some times "E4" appears. Of course the device does not work.

I tried 3 different atomizers (and 3 batteries) that are working fine to other devices, but the problem remains.

I only used IMR 18490 3,7V batteries that were included in the package.

Any ideas before i contact Provape?

Sounds like your voltage is set too high for the atomizers you are using.

Throw a cartomizer on it and see if it works, also dont screw your atty's on to tight you may be grounding them out depending on what kind they are, also make sure you have enough liquid in everything wet em all good, just a couple of things to try before contacting Provape.

Edit: I just saw you have error codes with nothing on it, that shouldn't be, check your spring on the bottom cap and make sure it is connected properly.

spring is ok, because i can adjust volts, so there is contact.

i tried all atties i have, more than 10.

    My Provari was purchased secondhand through ECF approx 2 months ago. Today I recieved error E8 which went away after changing the battery, however with the Provari set to 6.0 volts with no load there is only 3.82 volts coming out of the unit. The AW IMR 18650 measures 4.15v. When the device is set to 4.0v power output with no load is 2.61v Is there any fix or repair for this?

    That sounds like a problem with the boost I would also contact Provape with that one.

    I had an issue like that with my new provari... full charged batts showing at least a whole volt below what it was; and E8 all the time.... sent it in.

    not knocking, but i don't know why people pay close to full price and no warranty transfer allowed. My first 2 from first run have never had an issue though... i sold one and got a the new one. but i priced it accordingly.

    Provari is my most trustworthy pv... all the LED readouts are important to me.
    i.e.
    - on other VV's you don't have low battery warning and batts can get dangerously low.
    - If a VV doesn't fire, you don't know if it's the batt, the atty, or what
    - all the multi meter functions are extremely valuable to me; knowing the resistance under load etc.
    - luxury of the other menu functions.
    - solid SS casing is like bullet proof.
    - even the E2 amp limiter is a protective function...
    - with extension cap there's quite a few batt and length options.

    I’m very happy to say that my device is now working! :2cool:


    after talking to David from Provari, he told me to try remove the top cap to rearrange the cables inside, because he suspected that the is a short.

    I could not remove the top end easily, and I did not wanted to apply a lot of force.

    So, after unsuccessfully trying to remove it, I just pushed one cable attached to the cap. I tried the device and it worked!!!

    So you tried to remove the top of the ProVari? Is it threaded or is it a press in fit? I would think that would void the warranty, but if you got the OK from ProVape to do it I guess it would still be warranted. I am waiting on mine to arrive so I don't know if there are exposed wires to check. Did you do it from inside the tube? Just wondering.
