Its hard to describe but my button gets warm slowly after 5 five decent hits is that normal or is it a problem with the switch its self iv read it could be as simple as a crappy spring

That’s the result if the internal resistance of the mod. Could be dirt, could be clone parts, could be design issues.
And I have cleaned it twice I gave it another cleaning it greatly reduced the problem and it's the same rig mod but moved onto the pulse 24 and dpro RDAs my coils vary but usually between .26 - .34
"Heat" can be somewhat suggestive. If you have a decent B&M near you that understands mods, it might be worth it for your peace of mind. It's really hard to say over the internet how "warm" something gets (without some sort of temperature measuring equipment, I guess) or whether it's a big issue or not something to worry about.
In your shoes, I'd travel to a trustworthy B&M if I had access to one. Etc.
Best of luck,

The tricky part is how will he know his B&M is trustworthy and knowledgeable about his mech mod issues?
Having worked in a vape shop with 20 employees and visited numerous other vape shops, I've found employees can range from untrained off-the-street sales staff to "maybe" having only a couple of knowledgeable sales staff that might be of help. Quite often, even the store manager can be untrained for such issues. Based on my experience, there are a lot of B&M sales staff who are masquerading as "experts".
Having said that, I know a warm or hot to touch fire button on a mech means trouble. I won't even get into a discussion of what could be causing the problem, because I'm not that much of an expert on mech mods.
What batteries are you using? You're coil resistance is pushing the amp limit of even the best batteries for a mech.

Well, the cause is likely some transitional resistance where there should be (close to) none. Since the currents we use are quite big considerable damage can be done with them. Like melting insulating stuff that you need to keep your face where you're used to.
Which rig mod do you have? Can the switch assembly be viewed anywhere online?

Yea I'm gonna take it to my local BnM and have them take a look and yea I'll make sure he acctuky know what he's doing iv met quite a few who know nothing and act like they know everything and its a rig v3 most of the switch assembly is removable
I believe (but am not sure) that in addition to the spring there's other contact points in the V3 (that square shaped copper cutout). Did you take the switch apart and clean it thoroughly?
Springs are usually the worst contact points in a mech (if the mech relies on the spring for conducting current) and they gather oxidation rather quickly. If you have the switch apart you can usually see where the contact points are on the parts (there's black schmoo).

Alright and yea I took it apart and cleaned it but I think I need to do a better clean with alcohol or something
