I have seen a few posts about the switch sticking. On mine it is because the button side of the switch is loose. If you unscrew the battery side delrin, you'll see the button side magnet. I used a couple of rubber jar openers to press on the magnet and the switch to tighten it up. That solved my switch sticking. I need to do that every couple of days though.

Anyone figure out how to get this thing to REALLY perform? After a few weeks Im a little disappointed as my SS nemesis clone and a vtc5 knocks this thing out. The BN and a sony 26650 lasts longer for sure, but the same setup on a nemesis is a noticeable improvement. Ive cleaned all the contacts, cleaned the threads and applied a little noalox. I purchased the BN with the intention of it being my coffee table mod that was always sitting there and ready. Guess it does work for that purpose, but the weak vape causes me to just use the neme for everything. Is it the batteries? I got a small improvement switching to sony from mnke, but overall its not very impressive.

I have had the same experience. Gone back to my Astro and Patriot.
Nothing "Big" about the big nasty (other than its size). Too much voltage drop.

Thanks for confirming DrillRX. I can at least stop checking my batteries now! I kept thinking I grabbed a drained battery by mistake and thought I was going crazy as they would read 4.2 everytime i checked them. In fact, I have a 18650 thats reading 3.6 right now and its hitting way harder than the same atty on the BN with a fully charged battery.

I got mine in today logo and serial number is on the firing button now. Got the full size Russian sitting on it.

Take care of her and she will take care of you. Keep your firing button clean, that is a must. There is a 1.0 drop in voltage as people are saying and I tested for my self so build your coils off of your drop and this thing rocks house! Enjoy...

photo 2.jpg Got quad coils, with triple twisted 32ga. it puts out .28ohms, flavor is A+ and Cloud is an A++
