Thank you.Oh, dude...
Have you spoken with your doctor about vaping? Is it even OK to do?
I'm sorry to read this. Seriously.
I have several doctors. I quit asking when all I could get out of them is, "You're still getting nicotine." Yeah, so?
vaping is not hurting me. In fact, when I vape, my O2% increases. While there is no cure (except the Father), I haven't gotten worse since April. I am on Esbriet ($9,000 a month) to slow down the progression. Whatever caused the disease and the ground glass has cleared up. My breathing has improved on my 6 minute walk test.
You should see the look on people's faces when I say, "Imagine the clouds I'll be able to make with my new lungs! (double lung transplant)"
Did they diagnose early?Thank you.

I thought I remembered you saying you were on O2, stay strong and keep fighting as hard as you can each day.
Umm, well... I've been on O2 since August 2015. The local yahoos thought I had IPF in 2015 but the pulmonologist at Henry Ford Hospital didn't give the official diagnosis until last April after several trips, stay overs, tests and procedures.
So sorry to hear about this. Hate is a strong word, but I hate to hear people having this kind of experience with ProVari. Good luck getting it sorted out. Think Bill is gonna be your guy if you can't return it or just want to keep it regardless.
ProVari had a pretty darn good QC. Not that I can't, but I have a pretty hard time seeing a brand new, never used 2.5 go out the door and then go bad like that sitting on a shelf. Just thinking out loud.
EDIT: I'm sure you may have, but I googled those ProVari error codes and couldn't find a user fix. The codes were mentioned a few times over the years but other than a cleaning ... and found: "just happened to work after a second cleaning" ... nothing we can do. There was mention here and there of tank leakage seeping down into the tube and thus may have caused E5 and E8 ... but that has no bearing on this 2.5. It either slipped away from the mothership faulty ... or there's more to the story on this 2.5's journey.

Please - try this...I had the same E5 & E8 codes happening and was afraid I was going to have to send it in or that it was toast. (and yes, without the atty on it too)
Take the atty off.
Take the battery out.
Put the battery back in.
Turn the volts way down - like 3.3 or 3.4
Put the atty back on.
See what happens.
I think what happens is it gets the Error and then needs to be re-set by removing the battery - then knock down the Volts. If you put the atty back on and try to use it without knocking down the volts the same thing will keep happening.
If you just take the atty off, it still has the Error - hence remove the battery to re-set.
What set mine off is that the Volts had gotten turned way up somehow.
It was about a 30 minute panic for me to figure things out.

I was thinking that it worked like the Radius, where you load the Progamming software on your PC, and the actual code was retrieved from ProVapes server. When they started having more and more sales, I sent my P3's in to get the latest updates on them.
That was my mistakeThat is interesting, I did not know that.
KAS
I said update and I should of said reprogram it
I thought I read it was doing E5 with no atty on it
Yes.
Mine did too. - Wait, I think that's when it said E8
Anyhoo - I also was getting Errors with no atty after I had tripped the E5 error
It's been a while since I got an used my programmer.
The Provape Programmer folder on my puter is 71.2 MB.
So I'm not sure if the files for the Provari's are in there or does it get them from somewhere on the webs.
Yeah, when I need more O2. Lol Also, there's CT scans, chest x-rays blah, blah, blah. But yeah, the biggest and more immediate indicator is needing more O2. I took a major nosedive last December but I seem to have leveled out for now... Anybody's guess, could be like a roller coaster, steps or a rocket dive....
My father has bad lungs, he is down to one quarter of one lung left that worksOh, dude...

Doc told my him since he started vaping that my dad's breathing has gotten a little better.
I just wish I found vaping years sooner.
