DPLongo22 - No, I never received a 'Good Luck' email for the button fix - sounds promising?!!
I had sent two requests to them for the button after I found the fix somewhere in this thread,
but never received a response.
Recently I placed an order for another microstick when I saw the price dropped and added a note about the button and it just showed up with the MS.
If you can post or DM the instructions that would be great.

My pleasure, Jerry, and here you go - straight from the donkey's mouth.

Pasted verbatim, in blue. #12 remains my favorite part (always!).

It's fairly easy and the only tools you'll need for that are a cross-spot screwdriver and an allen key which was provided with the XvoStick.
Here is an instruction:
1) unscrew 3 screws at the bottom
2) take off the cap carefully
3) unscrew the screw under the cap, from the side of a hole, using the allen key which was in the box
4) pull out the box with buttons carefully
5) unscrew 4 screws at the backside of the box
6) change the button
7) assemble the box with buttons
8) insert the box with buttons to it's place
9) screw the screw which holds the button. NOTE: it should not stick out because it can cause screen damage
10) insert the cap carefully (don't push!). NOTE: check that the screen is at it's place, in other case it can be damaged
11) screw the cap with 3 screws carefully, don't press
12) good luck

No more love for the ECF'ers. I wonder why.

 

[Katdarling]

Woofs, you are ON tonite!!!!

Marvelous.

Well my button replacement was successful.
It was not too difficult although a bit unnerving working around the board.
It is great to have the XVo back in the rotation.
Thanks again to DPLongo for the quick reply with directions.

I was given instructions on how to try and fix it myself, after b-fast I'll give it a go.. They said if it's still not firing to ship for replacement, they said if I'm in USA it'll be easier to repair through retailer... Interesting that I already talked to retailer and he didn't seem to have a clue on how to fix it, they told me to contact mini... Hhhmmm maybe theyll just have retailer replace it..email communication has been quick(within 24hrs) considering it's the wknd. I'll report back soon.

 

[rockstarr]

Alright, well that was easy enough, my xvostick is working properly...the only thing now is my fire button seems to be sticking.. Any advice? Thanks for the support mini! That's all we ask!

 

[rockstarr]

Alcohol wipe down of the fire button and she's not sticking anymore. I'm up and running in time for my next trip.. This mod combined with my heron v2 is perfect stealth vape for flying and not worrying about pressure changes.Thanks Mini for the support!

Please contact us if the button still sticks. In old batches of XvoSticks the fire button was slightly bigger and that caused the sticking. This problem was solved some time ago, in new batches the button is smaller. We can ship you the replacement button if you need it.
