I got this one..500mls

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IPA-ISOPROPYL-...01a14#shId

it`s the people who I get the PG from now, so looked there first...

it`s express courier delivery so the postage doesn`t seem that high I think for large-ish bottle.

The same firm do 500ml for £5.99 with free postage.

And 1 litre for £9.99 with free postage.

There is a facility on the E Bay page to add another £1 for first class postage....

I was in such a rush to order it I didn't notice the 500ml size for only £2 more than the 100 ml.

Next time eh. Think this will be very useful stuff !!

Just read through that troubleshooting guide again and I don't think my pin is gunked up as it looks nice and shiny to me.

Much more likely to be the 2nd...Which involves pouring a small amount of special alcohol (can't spell it) into the Provari end and swilling it round,pouring it out and leaving it a warm place.

I say this as last week I unscrewed my Vivi Nova and the tank itself unscrewed and all the juice spilled dwon the Provari. I didn't think much of it at the time but as this is the most likely scenario when you get an E1,E2,E3,or E4 error...Getting juice in your Provari...I had never seen that troubleshooting guide before.Thanks for posting it Fad.

I am feeling much more upbeat now....

Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol works fine - did this with my brother's Provari a couple of months ago, and it's been working fine since then.

Just one word of warning - don't leave it in the alcohol for too long. It won't harm the electronics, but it will attack the display window, causing micro-cracking. Soak it for a couple of minutes, then shake out the excess.

I shall,wear rubber gloves and wrap a tea towel round my ailing Provari and do it over the sink.....

And I won't leave the Isopropyl in too long.

Thanks all for some really good tips.

I put my Provari on top of my boiler with the screw bottom off the night before last.

Got it out today and thought I'd try it.Put the battery in and it's only working again.

WA-F******G-HAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And 5 mins later I get the E4 again....

Oh well....It isn't as bad as I first thought ( I hope...)

Isopropyl should be here tomorrow.

Oh damn...I thought it had fixed itself for a minute...well, you`ve got nothing to lose then really giving it a full clean-out.

My IPA was here this first thing this morning....you must be itching to do it by now.

I am most certainly am...

But on the plus side,I am giving my rather neglected Throathit monster mod a long overdue vape.

I am ready to get my rubber gloves on and do a bit of fiddling tomorrow.

My son now calls me 'The Chemist'. Due to me getting out my bottles and doing a bit of mixing....
