E1, E2 and E8 Error (Individually or in Combination)

The E1 and E2 errors appear when you are running the voltage too high for the resistance of your atomizer/cartomizer. The E8 tends to be a chain reaction to this. Here is what our manual says about these errors:
E1 - Short Circuit / Shorted Atomizer - If this error appears, remove the atomizer and replace with a different one or lower your voltage settings. The ProVari will automatically reset when the problem is fixed.
E2 - Current Limit Exceeded - If this error appears, lower the voltage on the device or use a higher resistance atomizer. Once the problem has been fixed, the ProVari will reset itself.
E8 - Converter has detected a fault - Contact ProVape if this persists.
Now, since the voltage was running too high, the converter did detect a fault because the amperage was being pushed past it's limit.
Here is a link to our manual which shows the features of the ProVari and the error codes on the last page:

What I would suggest, when you go to use your ProVari, is to use the Ao mode on the ProVari to read the actual ohms of the atty you are using. The ProVari is extremely accurate in reading resistances. I would then consult this safe vaping chart which shows the best voltage settings to use for whatever resistance your atty/carto may be: Imageshack - unled66.jpg
Also, please note that resistance will drop in a cart or atty when it heats up, runs dry or gets old. If the cart is getting too hot, the resistance will drop and that will increase the wattage output, possibly into a dangerous level which will cause the ProVari to shut down and throw an error. This is one reason why you need to keep the carts moist as the liquid acts as a coolant for the heating element.
The ProVari can handle up to 14.5 watts. However, if the resistance drops and the voltage stays the same, the watts also increase.
For example: a 2.0 ohm cart at 5v runs at 12.5 watts of energy. If the cart's resistance drops to 1.5 ohms as its getting heated (which is very easy and possible to do), the watts suddenly increase to 16.67 which is more than the ProVari can handle so it will throw an error.

If you get this error, all you need to do is put the ProVari down for a minute or two minute to allow it to cool. As soon as the temperature is safe, the ProVari will fire right up again.
E4 Error

The E4 error can come up if the cartomizer/atomizer has gone bad or the battery contact pin is not cleaned regularly. However, it can also pop up if anything has gotten onto the circuit board like dirt or juice.
So, to rule these three problems out before we have you send it in, let's have you replace the cartomizer/atomizer first, then clean the contact pin really well and then, if necessary, give the ProVari a bath.
Every time a fresh battery is put in the ProVari, arcing occurs between the battery and the contact. This creates oxidization that leaves a carbon build up on the contact. This carbon will prevent the ProVari from working properly since it lacks a good connection with the battery. The signs of this can be: intermittent firing, early low battery warning, random errors, rapid flashing light etc.
We recommend cleaning the contacts once a week as preventive maintenance.
Take a q-tip soaked in isopropyl alcohol (99-92 and wipe down the round piece of metal at the base of the circuit board for a good 20 seconds or so. It should be a shiny silver in color when it's clean. Make sure to clean the tops and bottoms of your batteries as well.
Make sure your unit is dry before reinserting the batteries.
We also have a video showing how to clean the ProVari: ProVari Electronic Cigarette Maintenance - YouTube
Now, if the E4 error is still persisting, please do the isopropyl flush:
Sometimes juice or dirt can get into the unit and this can cause strange behavior.
Troubleshooting Tips
Try doing the Isopropyl flush using some 99% Isopropyl. If you cannot find 99% then it's ok to use 92%. It needs to be pure isopropyl alcohol with no additives. Pour in about a full shot glass amount and swish it around for about 20 seconds then pour out. This step may need to be repeated once or twice more.
Leave it open and let it dry completely (it may take up to 24 hours or more for the lower percentage alcohol to dry off completely) before inserting the battery again. It might be a good idea to give the bath before retiring for the night so it has a chance to dry completely.
If this doesn't help, please contact us and we can arrange to have a look at it and see what's going on.

E1 и E2 ошибки появляются, когда вы работаете Слишком высокое напряжение для сопротивления вашего распылителя / картомайзером. E8 имеет тенденцию быть цепной реакции на это. Вот то, что наши инструкции сказано об этих ошибках:
E1 - Короткое замыкание / Короткое замыкание распылитель - Если эта ошибка появляется, снимите распылитель и заменить другую или понижать напряжение настройки. ProVari автоматически сбрасывается, когда проблема решена.
E2 - текущий Превышен лимит - Если эта ошибка появляется, понизить напряжение на устройстве или использовать более высокое сопротивление форсунки. Как только проблема была исправлена, ProVari само сбрасывается.
E8 - Конвертер обнаружил неисправность - контакт ProVape если это сохраняется.
Теперь, так как напряжение бежал слишком высоко, конвертер же обнаруживают ошибку, потому что сила тока толкали мимо него предел \ 'ы.
