Hello All! Moderators, I hope I am putting this topic in the right category.

My SVD has been in my possession since I bought it new approximately two months ago. It is in rotation with two other mods, so while it has been given regular use, it has not been my number one mod and therefore has not been "over worked."

The SVD had issues with the fire button since day one: "turning itself" off, not firing enough to allow for reasonable chain vaping (in my opinion, with the note that my MVP has never had such issues and is my "standard" for how a moderately-priced mod should perform).

In the last two days I've noticed that I have to actively "pull" or draw hits from the SVD instead of lightly sucking air from the tank. My tanks (Aspire BDC, filled and with new coils) have always worked fine on the SVD until now. It now is "work" to get the SVD to produce vapor. My batteries are new Sony VT4 and one Sigelei that came with the SVD in its box.

It seems like I haven't had this SVD long enough to dedicate it to the trash just yet. I'm okay with the idea of tinkering with the button but I am no electrician. Does this SVD sound like trash to you? Should I try to repair it? Or should I find another comparable mod? Any suggestions? (I cannot afford a Provari or a Hana at this time -- waiting until Christmas.)

Thank you.
