Grumpy I had the exact same problem. I had to press the button and wiggle it around until it found a spot where it would make solid contact and fully fire. What fixed it for me was to sand the screwhead on top of the switch. It instantly made a huge difference. I am currently running the AYS with one small magnet.

Having zero burnt or metallic hits since the wick I put in last night. Only have a min so can't repost that info but you can find my post where I pull the wick/coil and follow Lorderos suggestions. Waiting for the flavor to kick in. Going to stick with this setup for a bit.

Good luck and will check in tomorrow!

Hi all, day 5 with my AYS & I’m having some minor problems. But before I get into that for what it’s worth, to Stormie, I went thru 30 mls of my favorite juice with nothing but an extremely burnt & slightly metallic taste thinking that it was going to clear up, it didn’t , I ran out of juice & instead of getting a new bottle I picked up a bottle I made for my daughter, a menthol blend, 3 or 4 hits of burnt yuck then menthol & then lung freeze. After 2 tanks of menthol I switched back to my blend, low & behold burnt yuck. Not saying that it’s your answer but after you give your throat a rest & come back to Tink try a totally different juice.
Now my dilemma, about 20-25% of the time I get nothing or very little when I push the switch. I’ve cleaned it, took out a magnet, cleaned it again & sprayed it with Deoxit Gold, Read Lorderos post, cleaned it again & Deoxit it again, & still miss fires, has anybody got any other ideas. Oh & just for my own edification when you lift it from vertical to horizontal should you be able to feel the battery slide forward from the switch to the top post & hear a clunk?

I thought I had read that too, but wasn't sure. I figured if they were in there, may as well give them a shot. If Zen said not to, I can't recommend it, but it seemed to help a bit in my case!

It's helped a lot, haven't had as many miss fires (which is probably due to operator error) but when I set it down now it fires. I'm going to put the other magnate back in & see if that stops that.

Put the magnet back in & no firing when I set it down, everything is coming together. Odd thing though, when I push on the bottom 1/2 of the switch it firesl ike a freight train, when I push on the top 1/2 it weakly sputters.

Push the bottom half then! :D haha j/k Glad that helped a bit. Just to be sure, you know that you don't just want to push the button straight up, it needs to go to the side as well. So I either push the edge of the button or make a fist with my hand while my pinky is on the button. That always seems to work. If you are pushing up and to the side, you may just need to clean up the switch again, and scuff the negative screw if you haven't already!

Best of luck-
J

I kind of figured that out, it's like "my arm hurts when I raise it". I scuffed up the screw head the first time I cleaned it.
