At your own risk:

The fire button problem is often intermittent among users - this suggests a contact resistance problem. The most likely cause is a tiny amount of diluent that's made its way down the tube from the top and is causing a poor contact in the microswitch under the button.

E-cig juice is obviously water soluble, so water should make a good candidate to clear the gunk. Unfortunately water conducts - bad for electronics - but deionised water has a very low conductivity, so steam would appear to be the solution.

I steamed my SVD button area over a boiling kettle 2 or 3 times for a few seconds. Press the switch a few times between steamings. Take the battery out first & remove the tank etc. I then left it for a while to dry out thoroughly (this shouldn't take long as the SVD gets quite hot and the water should vaporise away quite quickly.) For safety I would allow at least an hour for drying before use.

Seems to be working fine now.
