Anyone else have an issue with this thing not hitting very well? I cleaned the entire thing and that helped a bit, but not as much as I hoped. I found that the plastic disc that holds the negative pin contact for the button needed to be backed out a bit so the button had full throw and had better contact with the button housing, thus making a more sold circuit. Up until now my nemesis clone was hitting harder and more consistent with the same atomizer.
 
Right, I adm just curious if anyone else has had any issues with it.

I have just set up my big nasty. Tried .08ohm mesh setup but was taking 4-5sec to heat up coil. Then tried nano coil on 28g at 1.1ohm still taking forever to heat up. Got the ....s and stuck my protank 2, working like a treat. Was using freshly charged NMKE batteries. A bit dissapointed in the mod. Have tried cleaning with alcohol wipes, still not much luck. Anyone else ?

Edit - i'm gonna list for sale somehwere

I know I'm a little late to this thread but I have had the exact same issue with the big nasty! It does not hit as well as my other mech, which just so happens to be a King clone. I have to take it apart every 3 days or so to clean the bottom button and the contacts, the button gets very sticky and seems to be very susceptible to dust or other small debris. (And I do keep it in the pouch it came in when not in use).probably not the best idea to have the bottom switch inverted like that. Ive had it about a month now and Very disappointed it it, I figured with copper contacts it would hit pretty hard. Battery life is amazing though, but sad to say the King clone hits twice as hard, and less maintenance. Was thinking about the Hades but not sure now! Good luck!

It does have its flaws, the button can fail if you don't keep it clean, I lubed the inner button housing with automotive metallic anti-seize ever since that time it has been flawless. She is not a very hard hitter but I will hold onto it is works good while I type she stands up well. I am on my second Big Nasty my first one had major button failure it became stuck to the point where it needed to be sent in. If there were a 26650 kick available I am sure Tatroe will make an extension tube or kick acceptable bottom cap with an improved firing button. I will hold on to her and cross my fingers. Maybe I am hoping for to much here.
 
Spoke with tatroe on these ongoing issues, crap customer service. The only response I got about the bottom switch was the offer to buy a new switch assembly which they are now listing separately for sale ( which I have to say if these are for sale by themselves, they obviously had or are having issues with). It's just poor customer service and a crap product. I don't know how they can justify the price for a dna30 add on which when paired with the mod makes it a huge dildo size. You can buy a cheaper dual 26650 box mod that is cheaper. It's just a .... mod that they have sold

at that ohm level your battery doesnt have enuf power to push it .08 is about 200W at 50A your battery wont be happy for long...
