So awhile ago, when I was using eGo style batteries the guy at my local B&M got an eVic, then all his co-workers got some too. They all loved it and raved about it so I jumped on it and bought one without doing any research before hand. I don't regret it. It didn't feel like the most expensive mod out there, but then again I didn't have much experience with mods. Then about two months ago I got into rebuildables in the form of an AGA-T2 and haven't looked back since. It's all I use. So I'm about to get a RSST to go along with it (I kinda want to get a higher quality one like an AC9 or BliSS but the time will come for one). I loved using my AGA with my eVic but the more i read the more I realized that I needed to get a mechanical. I really wanted to get a high end one. I figured if I didn't like it (I figured I would, but if I didn't) I could always sell it and recoup my money. But my girlfriend wouldn't let me spend a couple hundred bucks on a Nemesis or nZonic V3 just to try something out. I almost bought a K100 because I felt that a bottom button mod would be best for rebuildables so I could tilt my atty with my wick facing down and still hit the button comfortably. But then I went to my trusty B&M and my dude sold me on a SmokTech Natural. It felt so much more solid than the K100 (or even the KTS he had). I just didn't know how I felt about the side button. I bought it anyways. I have to say I like it although I haven't really gotten too far into it yet. I used it with my Pepto Bismal battery that comes with the eVic because my Panasonic NCR18650B was home charging (and is still charging).
Glad I bought it. But to people that have them also, I haven't done any research yet, but are there mods I can do to it to make it work better? Any suggestions?

The most basic ting you should do is, take it apart, and sand all of the contact points that are chrome plated. They are brass underneath. This includes the positive and negative posts, the switch shaft, and the bottom shaft that the switch contacts. You'll just have to remember to polish the brass every once in a while.
