My new Darwin flashes when I first fire it

[garyinco]

Only been using my Darwin for about 26 hours, but I've noticed that more times than not, when I first fire the button the screen will flash one or three times. I don't know if I'm not hitting the switch correctly, or the device's electronics are readjusting the voltage, or what...

Is this normal?

Thanks.

Are you holding the button while firing? I don't mean that in a stupid way...The Darwin button hinges to the back (furthest from the atty) and the active part of the button is the front (nearest the atty) Sometimes I still accidentally try to push to the back of the button and get a little power "studder" during a hit, because I am essentially trying to push the non-moving part of the button! Worth a try anyway...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'm trying to rock the atty end of the switch, maybe just habit though. I read an early post, maybe from you, that someone realized the rocker-type nature of the switch. As you mention - the studder is there. I'll keep practicing. I'm very impressed by this thing! I've already found little nuances in flavors I didn't know were there. Beats the heck out of fiddling with screwdrivers and multi-meters.

Thanks again for the response.
