Sorry, I was typing when the thread moved along too fast and my question got answered before I finished asking it.

Also, let me be clear:

I AM NOT KNOCKING MY ZENESIS. I love this thing, even as is, it is the most awsome device I have ever seen. I just dream about it ALWAYS being as awesome as it is when its working perfectly.

I assume no-ox-id is different than naolox (I'm using Ideal brand from Home Depot). Where do I get it? How do I apply it? Do I apply the no-ox-id to the threads, or to the screw? I've Naoloxed the threads, I Naolox the screw about every time I change battery, which definitely improves performance A LOT, but seems like such a hassle.

I was having the exact same problem Trev, and I think the Noalox was the culprit. When I dissassembled the switch there
Were a lot of little black specks in the housing causing the spotty firing. Cleaned the switch with Isopropyl and applied No-Ox-Id, problem solved. Hope that works for you

Am I the only one out there? I LOVE my Febbie button!!!! There is no way I would trade mine out. I actually prefer my Febbie button to one on my Ti. The short throw is just how I like it :)
The button is comfortable enough, but it likes to loosen up and fall out... have to keep tightening down the screw. Plus it misfires a lot. I understand now, thanks to your post and to LandLord, that the No-ox-id-a-special will help with the misfiring issue. That's cool that your button is sweet all over though, and we're hoping our replacements will be sweet for us like your orig is for you. :)

I think I am 1 silly question under the daily limit so let me use it up here.. With my current tank(s) setup, I go through about 6-8 ml on a good day (good day means heavy vaping).. It also sounds like y'all are going through quite a bit more / day with the Zenisis? Do I need to fortify my supplies for this new APV?

my wife will kill me i think over the last week i have ordered 800 ml of liquid i should be fine now for a while

OK, just ordered a 2oz tub of no-ox-id a special from ebay, so now I will hurry up and wait :) I will try thoroughly cleaning it out in the mean time. Thanks for the help everyone.

P.S. Did Z-atties go on sale and I missed them? I've been on the notify list since the first week on June for every product on House of Hybrids, and haven't seen anything, but I just read a post where a guy said they went on sale 8 days ago. I'd hate to have missed that.

no drop offs, the flavor was muted right outta the gate :confused:

Dyanna, I had very muted flavor on my standard from the start. I'm sorry, I haven't followed your issue. I tried breaking it in for a few days. Still barely any flavor. I had to change out the wick to get her singin'. The little plastic wick insulator had melted to the wick, and I presume that was the problem, as immediately I had flavor that just got better over the next few days. Sorry if this is of no help to you, just sharing my experience!

ok, i'm confused. there is no-oxid and de oxid gold? :blink: which does a gal pick?

No-oxid is the winner for sure!

OK, so I've had my Zenesis Mini for about 2 weeks, and have had a bunch of time to work with it.

My coils are doing great, I've built several and they all produce great vapor most of the time, but my switch is still giving me major issues. It just won't consistantly fire.

If I grip it just right and fiddle with the screw position every couple hours, and put naolox on the screw when I change the battery it seems to work great.

When I don't, it fires full strength sometimes, fires ok sometimes, doesn't fire at all sometimes, and very occasionally runs a noticible amount of current through my hand. Not enough to hurt, but enough to know for sure I just caught some some voltage (I feel it in my thumb, not in my pinky on the switch).

I know this can't be right. I love this thing when it's working right, and will deal with it if its just the way it is. The vape is worth it. But I'm definitely not getting the "Just Vape It" experience. Anyone else get the "numb thumb" as I've come to call it? If so, how did you fix it?

do you have the positive battery terminal pointed up? I'm no battery guy, but up is the way you want it pointing!

i used to be a 3-4ml a day user. i'm up to 10-15. (but went from 12 mg to 8mg)

Ok I bet no one can help me with this strange problem .... My Black TI MINI baby only likes to fire when I use it in my right hand...but I'm a left hand vaper LOL. any clues

I can answer this.

I have found the same thing. I think depending on which hand you hold it in, the inside of the switch will make better contact, giving a better hit.

I put the positive end into the mod, negative end to the switch (although I have tried it the other way just in case, and it seems to work about the same, maybe a little less power).

do you have an exspreso shot of it in the mornings to start you of lol :D
LOL... it's funny because i never smoked that much, maybe a half a pack a day. i love vaping though!
I will plan on 2X and know that DIY is my friend... Thanks
DIY is your friend when you use a Zenesis device! you may have to lower your flavor levels though...
