So, ive been enjoying my provari for a few weeks now and I love it however ive noticed something strange. If i tap the provari against my leg or slightly shake it the led for the fire button comes on. I emailed provape and they told me the battery is low (its not and i can make this happen anytime on any amount of charge). They said if that wasnt it i should try stretching the spring in my end cap but to be careful because if i yank it out its tough to put back in. Im not very satisfied with this response. Has anyone had this issue?

mine does it also sometimes but it is almost two years old, i figured maybe since the board is inserted into slots inside the tube it is wiggling a little still works fine so i never paid much attention to it even though it is weird, you can try cleaning the battery post inside.
One of mine does this as well.
My best guess on mine is the battery is momentarily loosing contact due to the spring not being as strong as it should, so the light flashes.

I've had one that did it a couple of times. In my case the post needed to be cleaned.
Battery momentarily losing contact. Check to make sure your top cap is firmly seated. If you see a gap, whack it with a hammer. Could be the spring, too.
Stretch the battery spring.
Clean the battery contact inside the Provari with a long cotton tip applicator with some isopropal alcohol or with the eraser of a pencil.
Clean the threading of the battery cap with some Noaloxx. The battery cap is part of the electrical circuit, so dirt or oxidation of the bare metal threads can disrupt the battery conduction.

Ok, thanks for the help. I cleaned the battery contact and threads an stretched the spring. Just as I figured the spring popped out of the cap...I dont think its in there good but i got it centered smashed the battery on it and screwed the thing together. Now it only flashes if i toss it on the bed. It doesnt seem to flash now no matter how I shake it or hold it.
Maybe try not tapping it on your leg or throwing it and see if that helps.
This could be my problem this is always my first reactions
The spring fell out again :-(. However even though I didnt buy it there the guys at mr e liquid took the time to break out some tools an help me get it back together. Mr e liquid never fails me. Purchased protank 2 coils to show my love.
Yes that damn spring sucks to get back in. I have done it before. Glad it's working again
