My Provari is not firing. I dropped it on a hard floor. The display is fine, no errors except that the Ao reading won't give me any readings except OP on all of my attys and cartos that worked fine on it before. I screwed down a couple of the center posts but it will only give me a reading for a brief flash and then back to OP. I've already contacted Provape and MonsterKenny but no answers yet. Any ideas anyone?
Take the bottom off and battery to look inside at the circuit board to make sure its sitting in its tracks. It should not be crooked in there in any way. Maybe the battery pushed it off track when it fell.
I started a thread yesterday on it. It is a couple of threads down the page now. Just check with Provape first and that you would be comfortable doing anything yourself and account of the warranty.
I would do the simple things first like they will probably tell ya and make sure the threads are clean and stretch the spring just a little to make sure there is good contact.
I wonder if it has to do something with the electronics and the protection from the ProVari vs the mechanical functionality of other tube mods. Either way it makes me kinda bummed bc I spent so much much on this device. but don't get me wrong I <3 MY PROVARI!

Yeah, me too... This is the first time that it took a hard drop and it now won't work. A lot of money for not too much sturdiness....
They didn't tell me do anything except send it back...pretty bummed right now...
I wouldn't get frustrated that it isn't a sturdy device. It is sturdy but I am wondering if there might have been a batch of them where the soldering connection for the ground isn't as good as it should be. Mine was definitely soldered but it looked like it was more of a cold solder joint and probably got bumped around during shipping and came loose before I got it.
Yours might have had a smoother transit to get to you but then when you dropped it, it came loose.
Do me a favor and remove the atty from it and while you have no atty on there try accessing the menu and let me know if it lets you.

Thanks, too much work for me + lacking proper tools + don't want to void warranty. I am pretty concerned though, I carry this mod everywhere and have been pretty careful up to this point not to drop it since April when I got it. It just really bothers me that it couldn't take one 4 ft drop in 9 months without something coming loose.

It does suck, the Provari is the only mod that I use right now. I'm going to buy a Lava Tube as a backup when they start selling just in case.
Lavatube backup = more electronics = possible failure
If I was buying a backup for an electronic device, I'd but a mechanical device - just sayin'.
Good advice, I have a few mechanical backups already thank God or I'd be buying nic lozenges tonight LOL. I need a VV backup but can't spend $200 for another Provari. Got any other suggestions for a good (& cheap) VV with a digital readout?
