It started back a couple of months ago. It would misfire every now and again. I lifted the center pin a little and it worked fine for a while. Then, after inserting a new battery it would not turn off, after repeated attempts. Yesterday was the worst fit: firing it would go into the menu instead, misfired every other button press, and even leaving it overnight would go on misfiring. I use it mostly at home, and being a chain vaper I use it a lot. The event happens with the AW, Panasonic and Sanyo (eVic) batteries. I've had it since April, so if you're considering one, don't. Get an SVD instead.
