The one irritation I have with my Mini it that the button keeps moving to the locked position. Is there something I can do to disable this feature. I am not worried about the button firing with the way I carry it, so it would be helpful if I can eliminate this feature...........
Disabling the on/off function on a Mini?

Give it time. Mine was really loose when got it last weekend, but a week of vaping and it's tightened up enough that it doesn't accidentally lock on me anymore. It feels like the button needed a little wearing in, and now the pin sits just low enough to keep it in the "on" groove unless I intentionally move it to locked.
what size 14500 battery???? Happened to e on an older mini and still does when I use a trustfire battery
Mine does this too but it's getting better after a week of use. Still does it sometimes and makes me mad. And it feels like my spring is losing it's strength. I can take off the door and just jerk my mini and the battery falls out now. If i remember a week ago it was sitting in the Mini very firm and didn't move. I dont know..
you can push the metal pin, that sticks out on the side of the firing button, into the button.
This has been addressed in the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-tricks-some-basic-troubleshooting-ideas.html thread. Hope this helps. 
cd68 got it. 
Here's the Rob-approved fix http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...asic-troubleshooting-ideas-3.html#post2725894
Also, I find it happens if I use my index finger for pressing the button, but not if I use my thumb.

I disabled the lock on my Grand as its button was quite loose, and have been considering doing it on my newest Mini, though it seems to be tightening up a bit over time. The lock is a nice feature, but the button placement on the Mini and Grand doesn't lend itself much to accidental firing.
*edit* - I always use my thumb, but have also noticed I am less or more prone to accidental locking depending on if I hold the mod with the button on the left or right of the atty (I don't remember which at the moment).

my mini also tightened up after about 4 days. now only about once a week does it auto lock. but if thats the only problem i have from this mod ill take it !
I had this problem with one of mine. Didn't want to part with it so just persevered for a couple of days. Then it dawned on me that it wasn't happening any more. Either I adjusted or it did. Probably the Reo - they're magic I tell ya!
I put a notch in the button it self . I can feel with my finger or thumb what position its in and make the adjustment by rotating my finger a bit
Just gotta make the notch line up.

Aside from the fix...I think my thumb "learned" to push the button a bit from the side ...Holding it in left hand....would not work holding it in right hand tho....
The button will snug up after you use it for a little while.It depends how you use it I found when I first starting running mine I would twist the button you learn to not do it.You can always push the pin in if its really problem I would tough it out it will tighten up
