It's time to part company with my faithful Provari Mini in white(6 months old). As you can see from the pics, she's had a bit of a hard life-pretty scratched and scuffed and the end cap doesn't quite fit flush following a drop. There is also an intermittent 'E5' error which goes when you unscrew the battery cap and screw it back on. All in all, it's still more than useable and would make a good back up/'take to work' workshorse. Also includes the extender end cap. I I genuinely don't know how much to ask for these so, assuming it is within the rules, will listen to offers for either/both. Price will include first class postage to within the UK. Cheers.

Ah. That's a bit awkward if I don't have a clue how much they are worth! Okay, £90 for the Provari, £60 for the Penny, £140 for both. If those are well over the odds, I'll take the nearest offer (which kind of defeats the object of the rule I would have thought.)

Forgot to mention, the Provari has the extended end cap, also in white.

No bites for the Provari yet. Will take £70 due the E5 error, which can be a pain, but just requires a quick unscrew and screw back on of the battery cap to get things going again.

How long does it work for when you unscrew the cap? According to provape, it's a converter problem.

Takes a second to rectify it and carry on. The Provari is still in warranty (6 months old) and I contacted uk e-cigs where I bought it to find out about getting it repaired under warranty-however as we all know they don't respond to customers... I can't really be bothered with the hassle of getting it sorted to be honest, especially as my V2.5 is waiting for me at the sorting office.

I'd persevere a couple more times with them and send it back. If the warranty was transferable, you'd sell it no problem. Smokiedokie would polish that up a treat!

You could try a section 75 credit card charge back......that would possibly make uk-ecigstore concentrate their thoughts a little. Provari warranty is not transferable, allegedly

It does slightly bug me that all vaping gear seems to arrive in a plain Jiffy bag, with nothing from the manufacturer about warranties and returns. All I have to prove I bought the Provari is an email from the vendor.
