provari help

[DiscoDes]

have you tried other makes of batteries in it?

Provape recommend AW IMR's exclusively, but I'm sure Efest button tops should be okay.

efest high drain batteries

AW's might be better . . . I get a longer run time from them, over Efests.

Wud the efest really be showing low power that soon though?

I'll order some and see if it helps.
Thanks

I'm waiting on 3 from here which look good price:

That's all I use in my PROVARI AS RECOMENDED by them.

edit to add:

I'd also be inclined to test/check the batteries you have.ie buy a cheap test meter from somewhere like maplin. How many batteries have you tried?

also are you checking it with something on top?

Hi thanks for ur reply. I've tried around 10 different batteries. 18350 and 18650. Also a 18500. All the same low voltage flashing. The batteries have all tested fine on my other mods and ran til 3.2 - 3.3 before cutting out. I'll look into getting a meter and check them

I have had this low battery thing happen to me with a Mini Provari in the past. In my case it was because I had used a third party extension (Twins) to fit an 18650 battery and the bottom cap spring got overly compressed. When I used the bottom cap on its own, without the extension, the spring was not pressing hard enough on the bottom of the battery to make a good connection - hence the low battery warning.

If you remove the spring from the bottom cap and give it a good stretch to make it a tad longer then it will make a proper connection - and this may cure the problem. The spring is durable so you won't harm it!

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go!!

xtc263 if it still under warranty at 8 months old, why go through all this faffing? ... just return it to the vendor and let him sort it out.
