Why is everyone on that forum so brutal? Asking one question lead to about 15 responses calling me stupid and unfit to vape. I asked "why does my mech mods' button stick" which should have lead to helpful responses but instead I was hit with insult after insult. Have you guys been subject to this kind of ridicule?

?! That’s really unusual behavior for this site. Generally people are polite unless one starts out rudely. The last time I remember it happening was with a guy who called himself Batman who posted a rambling hour long biographic video of himself as a first post in the new members forum. You managed to offend someone fairly thoroughly somehow. Do you have a link to the post?
@bombastinator I believe that OP is referring to another well-known vaping website that begins with "R".
ECF Mods do not like us talking bad about other websites, so I imagine either they or the main system here blocked out the name in the title.

General nastiness is not tolerated very well here. You'll find very helpful people here who understand that everyone is new to certain and all aspects of vaping at one time or another. That other website you're talking about is heavily populated with a younger, less tolerant and sometimes ignorant crowd.
Tell us about your mech mod: make, age, heavily or lightly used. Mech mods need periodic maintenance to keep them in optimal working condition. When's the last time you took it apart to clean it?
Welcome to ECF, btw.
I don't Frequent places like that. If there is a place where People are just waiting to Get their Hate On, I'll leave it to Others to oblige them.
Life is too short for all that
. If I want Drama, I'll call my X.Welcome to ECF. You should have a better time here. I'm not a mech mod user, so I will leave the answer to your question (you may want to post it in the mech mod forum as well, so that you get more "expert" answers, so to speak) to those more experienced than I. You should let us know what equipment you have, though, including what battery and build you are using (wherever you post the question) as the more info you give us, the better we will be able to help.
Just wanted to say welcome. This site is full of friendly vapers and is also moderated. There isn't much tolerance for being unpleasant to anyone, but especially newcomers. I hope you can feel safe asking any and all of your questions here. You will be treated with respect .

For your original question, let us know more about your situation... like what mod, and type of button and button placement... someone will be along to help out... some of the things I have encountered with mech mods might be helpful in the meantime...
First - if it's a clone, tolerances could just simply be sloppy, and the parts work poorly together. Some are better than others, but the good "original" mods are usually made with more pride and craftsmanship. (please excuse the generalization, I know there are many happy clone users out there too)
but
Second - as was mentioned - our hobby is sticky... literally... so oftentimes all that is needed is a good cleaning. The beauty of so many mechs is that you can't really break them (at least not worry about electronics) while cleaning, and most are easy to disassemble and spot the gunk that's giving issues.
Third - you might be encountering a mechanical failure... specifically, if you have a spring under your firing button that is damaged, weakened over time, or might have shifted and kinked, or something. Sometimes harder to get to, and not easy to spot from the outside, this one can be more frustrating, but possible. Replacement springs/spacers/etc might be tough to specifically source, but someone had to buy them or make them for your mod in the first place, so suitable replacements or even upgrades (stiffer, softer) for your tastes could be available online, or at a local hardware store. I know... a little more work, but you get to decide what's worth it, depending on how much you love your mod.
You could also always use the situation as an excuse to feed your shinyitis
Welcome aboard.

Don't feel bad I almost did it as well I just happened to see the name of the site in question in the tags.
No worries. My strategy is to willfully misunderstand with great frequency so the real screwups just slide by
no way,you must have this forum mixed up with another.you must be
That one of the main reasons I started actually posting on here. I hate actually wanting help and end up just getting bullied.

re: Forum Rules
Whilst I'm not a mech mod user, I'd be careful with a firing pin issue til it's been resolved.
It happens, I asked a question and some help and some leave my question and tell me why, you are ignorant, have communication problem, language barrier and need to be educated
I feel bullied also and was going to quit
Anyway just let it go let it go

The more they speak, the more i'd learn about the type of person i'm talking to. It is interesting to watch in real time, to watch it unfold in the way i know it will. Typically and predictably they tell a few friends to join in, it's textbook !. It's guaranteed to always unfold in the exact same way everytime. So i expect this "linear" behaviour, and i would be surprised if they started behaving in any other way. That's why i find it so very interesting. If i try to explain myself, the situation becomes something similar to a school teacher dealing with a classroom full of unruley children.

Fascinating !.
