A bit of electrical contact cleaner sprayed directly onto the switch assembly will sort your LT fire issues..From what I understand if you do this once in a while they should be reasonably reliable.

If you buy a kick, you'll have to use a smaller battery in the same mod so again trade off in terms of battery capacity..You only use the kick for a fully mechanical mod..Not in an LT or provari as far as I know..

A kicked precise is very good I am told..

ive read this but also read from trog i believe it was that any spray would not be good for circuit boards and that there is a strong possibility that it could get into the boards.
so im a bit apprehensive doing that.
its hard to use everyones advice and ive not heard trog proved wrong very often if at all.
if i was to spray it i assume you mean battery out and use the straw type adapter and just give it a short burst on the black button housing
what product would you suggest?.

Only you can tell whether your vaping needs warrant a Provari or not Raggy . . . although I will say as the owner of both a V1/V2 & a V1 Lavatube . . . the difference in the vaping experience is considerable . . . for me.

That's NOT to take anything away, nor meant in a disparaging fashion towards the Lavatube as I think for the cost of it, it's a fantastic VV device . . . and I haven't tried the latest incarnation of it either.

I know you like to research things very fully before you do make a purchase and my way of shopping is alien to you, but sometimes you do have to take a leap of faith and go with your gut instinct . . . no matter how you view your vaping purchases or requirements.

Just my personal thoughts as a Kicked Silver Bullet is quite good as well . . . .

That's rubbish..

Electrical contact cleaners contain mainly isopropyl alcohol which is completely non-conductive. It will do absolutely nothing to any electrical/electronic components except clean them. The oxide layer that builds up in the switch contacts is the main cause of the LT mis-fire issues and needs cleaning once in a while. This happens in all switches but it seems to be particularly bad in the LT.

Here is a mother board fully hooked up and running in a bath of isopropyl alcohol which is being used to keep the cpu cool instead of the traditional fan.



If you need further convincing, Provape recommend giving the entire Provari a bath in iso propyl alcohol if you get juice in the device.

I understand why it's instinctive to avoid liquids and electrical components to mix, but in this instance there is no danger whatsoever.

Yes, remove the battery and use the nozzle attachment and give the switch assembly a couple of squirts. Any decent electrical contact cleaner from Halfrauds or Screwfix will do the trick..Just let it dry overnight before you use it because inhaling iso propyl alcohol is quite unpleasant..

LOL thanks macca, really i believe you, i will now go get some.
i have have a feeling the point that was being made by trog was in reference too WD40 either that or ive totally mes read somehow, ive been looking for the thread but cant find it.
im fairly certain he would be aware of the points you have made.
and i will certainly give this a go sooner rather than later.

thank you perpy,
as always you use such diplomatic ways of saying stuff.
i believe what your saying is FFS go buy one and stop being so tight on yourself, the provari will cover all your needs then some.


i was just re reading your first post here and how well you care for your devices and then in your second post you say you have a v1 and v2 (now you know where this is leading).
so seeing as i wanted a one owner, well loved A1 condition at mates rates provari do you want shot of yours.
oh well maybe not, i know you also like to hold on too your device.
but maybe you could give it some thought, you know it would be going to a good home and would be cared for the way you do, it would have a better life and be allowed to be used rather sitting there gathering dust de valuing and the dosh could buy more shoes.
oh well it was worth a go

Raggy . . . I love you wodges and wodges.



But I couldn't part with either of my Provari's, you'd have to prise them from my cold, deaded bosom's.


Go on, treat yourself . . . you deserve it.

[ragjoy]

LOL well that would be a then, ive never been into Necrophilia, no one to share a fag with.
i did feel guilty after writing the post as it was a bit playing on your good nature.
i will get one some time soon.

No worries Raggy.

They're the two devices I do use on a daily basis, so that tells you a lot as you know what I'm like for stuff. :-[

if i cant get a very well priced, great condition V1 in the next 3 weeks i will get a V2 when i come home from turkey.
the thing is the V1 is holding a good price at the minute but in 3 months or so i think they will be fairly common and a lot cheaper.
many who have and love them will go for the V2 so there will be a lot knocking about, im a bit surprised there isnt more up for sale.
