I have a silver dragon mod by j2p and I keep getting a hot button. I have tried every trick I have read about to fix this but nothing has worked. I have made a copper spring, put a penny under the spring and also put a micro coil on the hole that the screw for the button goes. If anyone has any other ideas please let me know...thanks

i have tried multiple magnets from other mods but none of them fit. I need really small ones. If you know where I could find some please let me know.
Clean the threads like other suggested. Also I found with some buttons is they tend to float more then they should (especially recessed buttons) that create micro arcs. My Atomo is known for this and magnets only make the condition worse. The spring acts as a ground wire from the button to the tube body.
1) Get a multimeter. Start measuring resistance at various points with the probes.
Heat happens because of resistance or over current.
2) Check the ohms at the coil. Also check for shorts. Shorts allow over-current conditions. This is why cleaning contacts can help. They may actually short stuff if dirty. However, they are more likely to reduce current flow when dirty. Also true for button contacts. The COULD cause you to over-vape trying to get it to work.
But mostly, you're running too many electrons through something that has internal resistance.
If the battery is getting too hot....stop. Figure out what is going on before you proceed.

Ido believe it's arcing because if the battery is up against the battery and I touch any part of the button assembly to the battery it shoots little sparks, I have tried everything I could think of even other attys, I think it's just a poor button design. The button assembly is extremely small and has a recessed button so there is close contact of all parts.
