Need help bad!!

[Lethal smoke]

I have a ephro 26650 seeker mod and I just bought a battery for it an efest battery and when I put it in it will not fire it I've done everything
I've torn apart and cleaned I've tighten all connections everything is connecting and it won't fire I know it's not the mod because I've put a 18650 battery in there (rigged it to fit) and it fires what can it be?
Please need help

Batt voltage problem maybe?

How would I be able to tell
It's a brand new battery first time using it
And put on charger and reads fully chargerd

Do you have a multimeter? If so, use that to check the voltage of the battery. At a full charge, you should be getting around 4.15v.

The battery is working now and I'm able to fire the mod but have to push really hard on the firing button what can I do to resolve This issue?

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with your mod, at all, don't even know if it's a mech, but assuming so by the fact you could "mod to fit" a diff battery size? If it's a regulated, ignore all this as it won't help...
But just random ideas- are your batts flat top or button top? (If your 18650&26650 are different there would be a pointer this is the prob) -- does your mod have adjustable pins like most mechs do? (if so try - extend everything to where the top cap won't quite fit flush, then back your pins off a hair, should get you to flush but touching inside, little or no battery rattle) -- last idea, take out your switch and push the button, does the contact pin when pushed protrude beyond any insulator it might have, I have a couple clones I've had to actually sand down the delrin so the pin could reliably contact the neg end of my battery, before I did that it would sometimes fire & sometimes not

Just saw this, man I took awhile typing mine I guess. Lol. Sounds exactly like what happened with my vanilla & a few others. Check the pin vs insulator issue at end of my too-long post above I used a cheap metal nail file to kinda sand down the delrin insulator. Now the pin always touches the battery when I push it. Obv be careful not to take too much off, but all you want is that pin to stick up past the insulator when & only when you push the button...

Sorry for not specifying but yes it is a mech and I have done the above but from what I see going on it poor contact with the negative end I had to push pretty hard to get a complete circuit so it would fire

Thanks for the help I'm gonna go ahead and give that a try and post back with my results

Don't have that particular mod but is there something you can adjust on it. The 510 connector the fire button.
