26650 Mutant clone

[westonG]

So ive had my Mutant for about a week, and recently (yesterday and today) the button is super difficult to push in.. If i adjust the pins so that the battery doesnt rattle, and the caps are flush, it wont fire.. if i let the top pin out further and the bottom cap isnt sitting flush, but is tight, it fires, but its super hard to hit the button, and theres barely a button throw.. The whole button/ bottom cap is magnetic, with a magnet connecting to the battery, and opposes the magnet in the button. any suggestions to fix this? or should i go back to the shop i got it from and ask for a replacement?

I also bought this clone, maybe a month ago. I have the same issue except I have had them from day 1. The switch is simple so I do not understand why it won't fire. Funny thing is when I research this mod all I get is how awesome it is and such a great switch.

Waiting & hoping for some replies also.

Well I guess we will still have no answers. I just threw the mod aside and chalked it up as a loss.

I can get mine to fire, i just have to press the button pretty hard.. kinda a PITA but if you switch fingers its alright. I just loosen the second positive pin out almost all the way, screw that on the top (make sure battery and bottom arent conected at this point) then throw the battery in, and then the switch untill it gets a little tight (leaves a gap in between the bottom and the tube, but it works). Idk if its hitting as hard as it should, but it definetly throws clouds. This also helped the button throw slightly doing it this way, just barely tho. Had a lot of time on watch last night to mess around with it and figure out something that worked.

Its just a total PITA, I mean it's two magnets that make contact to fire. I know they are making contact but wont fire unless I press super hard and or only certain sides of the button. Most times its not at all. I've tried to configure the switch and top pin in many positions but nothing seems to work 100%. Really sucks because there really isn't anything else to mess with. Makes no sense.

Scratches head.

Here is the fix guys. The magnet on the switch needs to be tapped in flush. And that is the fix of the day

I am NOT recommending this but I put a piece of wood over the magnet and wacked it with a real hammer. 2 times and I was set. Again I am not saying do this, try at your own risk.

Thanks Shawn, Its firing ok but I got some battery rattle, If I unscrew the 510 pin a little then it fires by itself as the battery pushed the switch down. If the switch magnet was lower then the delrin would prevent this I think?

That battery rattle isn't up and down it's side to side slightly. I don't think you can get rid of that.

 

[Altramagnus]

Also if it's firing ok then your magnet is seated properly.

[Moses195]

Yes, its side to side. Prolly wrap some tape around it.
On the reviews I've watched, the magnet ia seated flush and mine sticks up about 1/16".

If it's firing I wouldn't worry about it, mine was keeping the mod from firing completely.

is this issue with the clone and if so which one

 

[CloudsinCrowds]

Mine has zero issues
I got the stainless one from 101vape
tbh mine is perfect, the adjustment for the 510 and bettery rattle is not my favorite style. I can live with it though.
I use mnke batteries fyi.

Mine is the copper clone by Tobecco. I've had no issues with the magnets, but thanks for the fix, just in case.
