DeoxIT fixed my clunky G150 button.

[-KT-]

Hi all,

I am new to vaping and started with a Target Mini.

Then I got a Baby Beast tank and started experimenting with various coil ohmages.

Finally I realized that something with more watts would work better (for me) so I purchased a smok G150.

It arrived last night and I absolutely love it. However the fire button was a little clunky. Unless one held it a certain way it kind of rattled a little bit -- and that makes me somewhat nervous.

So I remembered that I had some DeoxIT. People who are into electronics swear by this stuff and I heard about it on an audiophile forum.

Basically it resists heat up to over 300 degrees centigrade, is non-conductive, yet when you apply it to electrical contacts, it decreases the current loss (by flushing out oxidation).

My fire button is nice and smooth now and I won't have to worry about oxidation building up in that button (DeoxIT also helps prevent oxidation).

Anyway, if anyone has a situation where this stuff might help, I highly recommend it. It's especially good for old-school notary volume knobs on analog audio equipment (removes that staticy sound).

That being said, I am not certain WHY it worked in my case. The only thing I can think of is that the fire button SMOK uses in this mod likes having a little lubrication for some reason.

I am totally not an expert in electronics, especially when dealing with high amperage stuff, so I would advise caution using something like this in an unregulated mod.

Cool beans.
I have a rattle on my Inbox, I've been looking for new buttons but no luck.

Glad it worked for you.

HI and welcome. Junky buttons annoy me too

I use that much also but would've tried just spray contact cleaner first. Works well on my coffeemaker anyway. I'll try your way next time, maybe it'd work longer.

I'd certainly have it on all my mod batteries if I didn't use lipos. Work well in a charger I imagine also. Great stuff.
