No mod should make the firing button hot unless there is some kind of short in the mod or the battery.
Bu if you are thinking of getting a new one, I would get a 26650 mod. I just got one last week and not only does it work great, but the battery will last more than a day. I have a stingray 26650, but there are many others.

No it is definitely not normal You have a short somewhere. I bought the hcigar Stingray clone a couple weeks ago and it hits like a champ with no problems so far.

That's going to happen to just about any mod over time, take the switch apart and clean it. If the spring is tarnished then that's going to add resistance... That'll cause it to heat up, as well as steal some of the power that should be going to your atty. Also check for any metal debris that could be causing a short and clear those out (generally something small, like a metal shaving or burr left over from manufacturing).
If you still really wanna upgrade... Find a mod you like the look of, then look up the clone manufactuers. Compare the qualities of the different clones (ex: black copper stingray from Infinite has better engraving than the hCigar clone, some clones don't even have the floating 510 pin or magnetic switch) and choose the one that sounds best to you.

http://www.vaporbeast.com/stinger-mechanical-mod.html is the one I have.
The firing cap has always been heating up since I got the thing. Figured it was kinda normal. I always remove the battery after it heats to make sure its not the battery & it is always cool to the touch.
I am attempting to take it apart without breaking it & really not seeing how I can. It has a plastic O ring that seems glued on so I dont see a way to remove it.

I have been looking at one of these AR clones like this
18650 Hollow-out Mechanical Mod Black
I really want to keep it in 18650 because I currently have all the batteries & chargers for it. Though I am unsure if it will be any better. Now im a bit worried since this behavior of a mod isnt normal.

That, and clean all the threaded connections. That black nasty stuff that builds up on the threads is adding resistance.
The only thing that should be getting hot is the atty. The only place you want heat is in the coils.
Take everything you can apart and clean it. Alcohol to get the crud off and if you have brass, silver, or copper polish them where they touch. Check out the spring. You need to get the switch apart and clean it, Like was mentioned look for small bits of metal.
Noalox is a grease, helps threads and other moving parts feel better, and it has zinc particles in it to help improve conductivity. Just a very tiny bit, the more you use the more dirt it will attract, I use a tiny, 1/8 the size of a pea, and use a toothpick to spread it on the threads. You will have to clean more often but it will help conductivity and what you have is a place where there is not good conductivity.

I just hit everything I could with mother mags & finished with alcohol. Still no clue how I can take the bottom cap apart to modify it. Will e-mail vaporbeast to see about a replacement.
Literally all of the reviews I heard about that were negative. Suckmymod even said he's give his away for free to anyone who messaged him, but he said it was only good for the 510. Grimmgreen had some interesting feedback on it. He ended up saying when it fired, it got warm, and he just didn't trust it.
You can always make your own, if you know how to solder. I'm working on an Altoids Tin mod with a firing button, dual 18650s, VV, all of that, and I'm stoked to see it completed.
You can also use some white toothpaste (I use Colgate) on a q-tip to clean off the contacts and threads. I did it to my nemesis for the first time since I got it about 9 months ago and was amazed at how much black gunk came off. Ps I clean my mod at least once a week with isopropyl alcohol and microfiber cloth and it didn't get all the stuff off that the toothpaste did. Just make sure you run the parts that you use toothpaste on under some warm water and wipe dry with a towel before reassembling and using
I'd stay away from the "black" clones unless you feel comfortable cleaning threads.
That said, the copper version of that mod would probably hit like Chuck Liddell.
Lol.
Shi-shaaa!

my black Hemidall is clean brass on the inside of the tubes....and it hits like a beast; i'm very satisfied with it
Currently in contact with vapor beast. Will letcha all know how it turns out.
Shi-shaaa! XD

Personally, as a nice, low price mechanical, I am enjoying my Nemesis, but it does have its flaws. I am thinking about a poldiac clone cause I like side buttons, but eh... not sure yet. Good luck with your search.
