Hot button on GGTS

[martinc]

You think my coil is shorting?

It vapes good,but 5-6 vapes in a row and it gets uncomfy hot

In iatty 1 or Ody yes it's prolly arcing out somewhere if yer using an atty it's prolly torqued down too hard.

Yeah mine got very very hot as well, but I tracked it down to a short in one of my 510-510 adapters because I tightened down the bottom tube too tight and it tore the silicone sleeve around te center pin of the adapter.

I've ditched the coil and all is well...there wasnt any potential short that I could find but then again,my eyes are not too young anymore :/

Also over tightening the battery/button end causes this

Ok, this issue has plagued my SSGGTS for weeks now and I've been trying to figure out what it is. Today I pulled the bottom cap and noticed several blackened areas that must be corroded. You can actually feel them with a fingernail. I took some fine sandpaper and got rid of the corrosion and now my SSGGTS hits every time I press the button and the button no longer heats up when I'm chain vaping. Here is a quick pic I took of what I had found.

Exactly what I found, and also Exactly what I did to correct it Works perfectly now and no more hot button

Yep, I've noticed that, too. If I vape a lot at 6V (which I usually do) I tend to see that on both the battery post and the button, but it polishes off of both fairly easily with a Cape Cod cloth. That's part of my regular cleaning routine
