Darn... I wish my mom hadn't gotten chrome. This is just going to confuse her!
Maybe I won't even tell her about the on/off switch when I am teaching her how to use it!

Brass end caps the same. #066, led turns on as soon as cap touches tube, atmost get a flicker but led stays on.
well damn all of the Beta test units worked perfectly !! you could try the pipe tape trick mentioned earlier.
FIX(for anyone that cares): I wrapped the Endcap threads with Teflon tape, being careful to not overlap below the threads thus causing it to not screw on all the way and not completing the circuit. It is a nice snug fit, but not overly so. It turns beautifully and turns off with a 1/8th turn perfectly every time.
Thanks to Gmoney for this info

Unfortunately the brass threads cut through the tape quickly, at most a one-shot off. I tried the tape several times.
Ok well IF you want we can swap it out after a bit ( we need to get caught up here first )
That's entirely fine by me. It works like a charm other than for "off", which was a new function for me anyhow. My vanilla tobacco on a 3.4 ohm carto likes the buzz pro 
Likely same as mine, tube anodizing that will take a swap to correct. It is entirely fine other than that "off" doesn't work, the led is long life, no battery drain concerns. I'll swap whenever Mike catches up on the initial order set, but it is a no rush kind of thing to me
What color is the tube ? it seems to be happening more with the black ones
Clear/Silver #292 with brass caps.
I'm not really worried so much about batt life but more for when I throw it in my purse or pocket so it won't off if button gets pushed.
OK well I need to talk to my emp. about this , I need to have them check this function closer . the button is recessed so they tend to not go off , just like the old Buzz they rarely get turned on by accident.
If this is an issue for you let me know by PM please.

Mine wants to be finicky. If it flickers with the 1/4 to 1/2 turn, I take the cap completely off and put it back on. Do the 1/4 to 1/2 turn, then it works. No big deal to me. I'll try the tape and see if I can get it to work better. I'll report back.
I just want to thank you....I forgot about the off switch and for being upfront and honest about the problem.
I parked a chrome 510 echo-e carto on top of this purple beast and vaped my head off. The room started to spin and I had to put it down. I've never used these cartos before (got them today also) and with the Buzz Pro firing them, HOLY COW! I've never seen vapor like this before.
Awesome product even with the glitch. I'm loving it.
Edit: If I unscrew it until I barely see the first thread of the end cap, it won't turn on at all.

Ruppy I am trying to get ahold of my MFG about a new design that uses Delrin threads and a brass/Chrome plate ( the knurled part ) so that the switch will work EVERYTIME ! Delrin is non conductive . I hope I caught him in time ???
I tried but I can't seem to take a good enough picture to help. I don't have my good camera handy at the moment. But it looks, under a magnifying glass, like the anodize is worn/chipped off of the threads inside the tube. It only takes the tiniest bare area for a connection to be made.
That's a great idea! I guess maybe the type 2 anodize may not be hard enough, or the anodizing procedure used was not sufficient for the internal tube threading. Sorry, it's causing you problems!
