Been a funny old week in my vaping world. Monday, I broke a Kayfun. Trying to remove the bottom section by a tried and trusted method of inserting a drill bit into the airhole and using it as a lever, the drill bit broke and the tip was so flush I couldn't remove it. So, off to Fasttech... Tuesday, the Provari died. The atty ohms reading was jumping around with all atomisers, so I isopropanol-cleaned the 510 and battery conns, no dice, but reading about how some had been fixed by briefly bathing the innards in iso I did that and left it a day to dry off... dead as a doornail now. Wednesday, woohoo! the Kanger Aerotank Turbo that Dave Dorn had been tooting on VTTV (not the same one of course) arrived. And it is a dream for clouding. But that's not the end. Turns out that those tiny magnets used to 'nippleise' flat top batteries, 5 of them were strong enough to extract the drill bit from the erstwhile doomed Kayfun. Going to have to try to resurrect the Provari though. I miss it already

It's easy enough to remove the PCB from a Provari, i'd to this and give it a good inspection, make sure there's nothing in there shorting it out.

davetherayon sorry to hear of your woes, days like that can be testing. The little magnets you mentioned. I have a couple of flat tops that dip in a bit and dont like my vamo. Where are these available from ? Jay

Where are these available from ? Jay Here's a site in the UK selling them in packs of 5 for under a quid (considering P&P you may end up with more vapemail to make the postage worth it). www.biriecig.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=80They're great fun, but then magnets always are Have a couple stuck to one of my electronic screwdrivers, stops screws from going flying and the other screwdrivers cling to it like koala babies to mum.
