Anyone found a way to repair the itaste SVD fire button?

Anyone found a way to clean, modify, repair, replace the itaste SVD fire button?
Thanks.

Problem: my problem is sometimes it fire, sometimes it doesn't. It can't be the grommet at the pin (which come in contact with the atomizer) because sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't no matter how I adjust up/down the atomizer.

Interestingly enough I seem to have fixed mine and stopped by the forum this evening to share

The story goes I was getting pretty ...... off at my SVD for ,, turning off when it felt like it, not firing, being very picky about how the button was pushed etc. etc. and the sad part is it is/was one of my favorites. Looks, build, size with an 18350 and a mini for out and about. Thing sat around hardly getting any use at all and I have been thinking "what a waste of 40 something dollars THAT was!"

OK, enough suspense........ I was working on some volume pots for one of my guitar amps and was using a high pressure spray cleaner lubricant and shot the button of my defunct SVD with it,
Let sit for an hour,
Pushed button a few times,
Seemed to have helped,
Sprayed again,
Let sit some more.

It has been operating trouble free without one weird quirk al day long!

Do you just spray on edge surround the button, or you take things apart to spray?
I sprayed with the dust cleaner can (for keyboard) from time to time without help (no I didn't take thing apart just aim at the edge of the button and spray).
Thanks Davey

I think dust cleaner is just compressed air or gas. The stuff I used was a cleaner lubricant, I believe has a solvent. I did not disassemble. It is very high pressure (cold too) and not well focused, I just hosed the button.

Went through 2 SVD's, both had the fire button inconsistency after a couple months use. The best fix I found was to get a more reliable mod.

Glad you solved your problem, and shared your solution.

Over a week now of trouble free use for me.
