Well . . I was definitely joking (although it's true that the ms isn't so stealthy when you're actually using it). But it's not just the atty . .it's also the fire button. This is a *loud* fire button and no matter how lightly I press it there is always a distinct, loud "click". Seriously . .I actually do a lot of stealthing in bathrooms at offices I visit and the image of me using my microstick in the stall next to somebody else is just hilarious. It would literally sound like the guy in the stall next to you is welding car parts or something.

But that's not a complaint . .I dig the performance of the microstick and I use ego's to stealth vape in bathrooms.

Your button makes noise?? After you said that, I tried it, and there IS a very soft click, but it's far softer than say flicking a lighter. Now if I'm careful pushing it down, I can do it in complete silence. Then the only noise is sucking the air through my atomizer. If you build a nano coil, and then use cotton balls and make a small 'hat' over it, even the air hiss is muted. But as others have said... you can't hide the plumes of vapor.

I'm wondering if maybe there's something different about your button?? Maybe try noalox or a drop or 2 of oil on the spring? If you are using AW 18350 batteries, they sit pretty high up, and the spring is reasonably tight so there's resistance when you push on the button... if you push gently, it's pretty quiet...

Made a little information post some might find useful. Especially those of us who build any coils (and even more especially those of us who can't see as well anymore).

I have two microsticks and the switch on one of them is very rough and sticky. The other one is smooth as butter.

Does anyone know how to make the switch less rough?

How often do you take it apart and clean it?

Taking apart the switch and cleaning it doesn't really work.

I think I know how to fix it. I need to sand down the center post in the switch. I don't know if I'm up to doing it though.

Guess I'll just live with one of my microsticks being sticky....

 

[rumthin]

I had some 180 grit sand paper lying around so I sanded the center post a tiny bit and voila.

Smooth and butter.

Got my microstick back from repairs & it is working beautifully again in both 18350 & 18500 mode. Thanks again Mini-ecig team~

 

[chadsmo]

Grats ! Nice to know.

I am thinking a 15mm XL IBTanked carto tank and a Sophia to go with this. However, I may also explore the other atties others here are using. I got some time to figure it out....

For now I've just been using it with an Aspire Mini Nova.
Works great.

Still deciding on what kind of rebuildable to get for it.
I like this pic because it looks like I have gigantic hands. But actually they are quite small.

Just buy the real thing, it's worth every penny.

 

[chebird]

Do you just rotate them, or do u have a favorite? Nice line up too! I think Im going to make my own DNA-20 out of a small cheese block cutting board, but that's for different thread.

I hear ya Chad, but I have to wait until I become re-employed for sure. How long do you get from that polyfill? Just take apart, rinse, and go new flavor?

I use the good stuff that GP sells , the piece in my Spheroid is about 6 weeks old now and will easily hit 10 weeks I think.

There's a few others that aren't in the pic, Caravela, Magneto etc, but most of them just sit on the shelf.
It's a wonder why I even buy them. What do they call it, shinyitus?

The two that I do use regularly are the Microstick, which I take to work most days and when I'm out and about, and the Vaporshark DNA with a Kayfun when I'm at home.

Grats ! Nice to know.

Thanks~ Feels great to be able to use it again

I wasn't able to narrow down the previous issue after all the tests done & Mini-ecig didn't know what the problem was either so they replaced the connectors. Helpful, fast & hassle-free, they're definitely a joy to deal with. I was never rough with my microstick, but without knowing where it went wrong previously, I guess I'll be handling mine like an egg for the time being

 

[skotsour]

Gave mine a wrap. Not perfect and the other side looks like I chewed it instead of cutting it, but I'm liking it so far...


EDIT: Please excuse the pocket lint around the switch, I'm cleaning it right now, promise.

Hey Chels, have you considered making a version of the Microstick with a high quality injection molded polymer body instead (think Magpul)? It could greatly reduce time for production runs and perhaps allow you to sell that version for less, which I'm guessing would sell like crazy. It would also be lighter. You could also do them in different colors.

I received my leather custom cases today from Parish and I must say that I love the feel and fits very nice!! I also have a tan case for the extended mode but I haven't even used the ms in extended mode yet!! Just thought I would share!
