Nightmare on Provari

[AndnAnge]

Well I thought I had to share this moment with you all, when I sat up off a chair my beloved Provari fell on the floor with a great slam! the cartomiser broke off with the thread left inside!!

I was like a child with it's best toy broke....what could you do? Luckily I used a tiny screwdriver and was able to turn it enough to release the thread left and then was able to unscrew it with my thumb.

Just letting you all know as a cautionary tale....not nice to deal with and utter disbelief when it happened.
It took 2 mins to solve but before it felt like the end of the world.....

((( And )))

I feel your pain believe me . . . you handled the situation extremely calmly I think . . . I'd have called out the Fire Brigade at the very least.

If mine falls over on the work surface, I get palpatations!!

Thank goodness your's is ok!

Thought about making a neopreen sleeve for mine just in case i drop it .Another thing if the i atty is fitted and it fell over or got dropped the threads on the i atty are stainless steel and they would be ok but i doubt the provari's internal thread would be .I was going to get a wood turner to make me a nice hardwood tube which the provari would slide into but i think the neopreen sleeve is a better idea as it might absorb more of a shock .

Suppose I could knit a Provari Cosy HV . . . funnily enough I've a pattern in mind that I could probably adapt.

So glad you got it sorted And

Hope you don't mind me moving this thread to the general section - just feel it could be helpful for any other Provari users that don't check out the community area

Didn't Dee drop her Provari & Iatty and the Iatty thread bent at an angle ??? I think she straightened it out.

[safercigs]

cant beat a bit of Provari love......... i think i would be devastated if i dropped mine esp the chrome one

[Perpetua]

I'd cry, lots if I did mine Daz . . . actually I'd probably cry if I dropped any of mine.

[AndnAnge]

Must say thanks to Jase though as I would never have tried a cartomizer without his help...and they work well

@perpy I wasnt cool..I was like what can I use instead!! Funny really ...but not at the time.
Sometimes I think how bloody easy it would be to smoke a ciggy

Glad to hear they at least cushion the fall Andy

Can somebody lock this thread? It's like the forum equivelant of a snuff movie, or that quivering feeling a man gets when he sees another man get kicked in the nuts

Yes I did sadly! My Provari still isn't working (nothing to do with dropping it,) I'm going to have to return it to Provape for repairs!

And so glad you got it sorted

O no Dee!

I think Kingtut had to return his for repair, but Provape got it back to him PDQ . . . so hope the same applies to you.

I'd have to agree Blakey, but don't think I can lock the thread for that reason . . . Chris would have my guts for garter's if I did.

[AndnAnge]

I'm so sorry Dee, I really feel for you. Hope you get it fixed real quick

Have you tried the voltage output with a meter just to see if it is putting out what its ment to .Are all the other functions working , like Atty ohms , batt condition ect .Also have you tried this
