would the ehpro chi you have the same issues as the other clones out on market?


1 – The adjustment screws pins on top are short. This was designed using protected batteries. If you are using unprotected batteries like most mechanical mod users, the pin will get loose when you try to make it fit. It might work but once unattended, or if placed on a vehicle with vibrations, could get lose, cut the battery insulation, and cause a short leading to a leak – or worse, an explosion. THIS COULD HAPPEN EVEN WITHOUT AN ATOMIZER AND THE SAFETY ON!!!

2 – The bottom cover/switch assembly wobbles. This WOULD (as opposed to “could”) also cause an accidental misfire. Again, fire, injury, or property damage risks as a result of leaking or explosion. This could happen only if an atomizer is attached. EVEN WITH THE SAFETY ON, IT WOULD STILL FIRE BECAUSE THE CONTACT ROD INSIDE IS ALSO TILTED!!!

3 – THE WORSE. The bottom cover does not have any insulation. If you use those gray Panasonic batteries, IT WILL FIRE AS SOON AS YOU GET THE CAP ON IF YOU HAVE AN ATOMIZER ON!!! The gray Panasonics do not have the extra insulation at the bottom. (The bottom is exposed.) Even other brands are susceptible to this is you microcoil or sub-ohm because the battery shrink tube shrinks when heated.

I found a fix for it. Unfortunately, I still need it manufactured – IN CHINA! Unless one of you guys can make me custom brass bolts or has access to specialized small machinery hardware. Message me if you could help me expedite this process.

If you already have one of these Chi Yous, make sure that you use protected batteries. Also, go to Home depot and buy O-rings to be placed on the inside perimeter of the bottom cover. After all your adjustments are done, LOCTITE (Blue) that damn switch so it won’t get loose!!!

That guy was lying to get you too buy stuff from him

Nice, I'll give it the old college try. Hofully I can find the correct magnets. I'll have to find the post and see if where to get them was mentioned.

I had previously purchased some 6x2mm magnets from carolinavapes.com to use on my flat top batteries, they are a tight fit but do work. I placed the spacer magnet on top of the bottom magnet.

It hasn't been posted here. I just received some magnets to provide some extra resistance on the switch press so that it will stand upright without firing. The link below is the ring magnet, I have also tried a 3/16" x 1/16" disc magnet and that works as well. The 1/4" magnets' diameter is too large. A single magnet on the switch end is more than enough to stiffen switch. $5 is a bit steep for a $0.16 magnet. get spares, although I don't know why would need them, these magnets aren't going to fall off.

So the ones in the link will work just fine for the nzonic? Do you remove the stock magnet, or lay it right on top, iron glue it? Kinda lost without a pic to see how big the magnet is compared to the nzonic switch insides.

Works perfectly. You just lay one on the switch or tube side. It holds fast and you can feel the resistance as you go to screw the switch into the bottom tube, it wants to push the switch to the side. No modification to the existing magnets.

So I'm heading to class walking into an elevator with 20 people, locking the switch on my EA to pocket it and the the switch comes apart in my hands. (Bonus the spring didn't fly). I'm pinned on three sides by college kids, my back to the wall trying not to drop any of the parts. Girl to the left thought I was arming a pipe bomb, girl to the right asked what flavor I was vaping. Once out in the hall I got it back together nice and snug.

Remove the bottom cap, put pressure on back side of switch with finger, screw switch in as hand tight as possible. They will still spin, but they need to spin together else you will have an eventual oops. Got home and repeated the process with one of those pieces of rubber that you open tight jars with, gives great grip.

Joined the EH Pro club today. Got an EA clone. This thing is almost perfect. Only things I don't like are the button throw and the super long positive pin. I like the fact it is floating as I don't have to adjust it or my atty. I reduced the throw of the switch by adding a couple of shims for airsoft guns. They also worked on the Sigelei #8 and #13 switch. The throw is now much shorter. I would say only 1mm-2mm. I want to cut the positive pin, but I am afraid that it will expose the metal under neath and cause a voltage drop instead of the gold plating making contact with the atty.

That's a beautiful pic. FastTech, EHPro, and every other vendor on alibaba could learn from you how to present their wares. I have an EHPro Nzonic clone and love it.
