Hey all, loving my sb so far but im having some issues atm. I'm not sure if im getting misfires or if its something else.

About one out of 4 drags i don't get vapor, I have noticed this with both 18650 and 123a batteries. It has also been happening with 510 atty and also vaping with adapter with 808 cartos.

I did notice a slight decrease in "misfires" when I press the button more towards the bottom of the unit. Any advice or suggestions are sure appreciated.

Happy vaping :vapor:

To quote Chad:
"I apologize for the inconvenience. The switch contact plate may be off a bit. Feel for a bit of resistance on the top or bottom of the switch. When you notice which end it is coming from, firmly tap the switch with your finger or knuckle on the offending end. If you do not feel the resistance, firmly tap the switch on center. This will usually resolve a "funky" switch. The contact plate is shaped similar to an arrow, and if it goes a bit off before the switch is "broken in" it can cause an un-even activation \ similar to this but rotated 90 degree. By broken in I am referring to any imperfections inside the contact cup that could cause a hang up of the contact plate. The switches are the best available on the market IMO, but there is still a chance of a 5 o'clock Friday switch getting in there."

This is the standard switch fix response. Sometimes it happens and doing this usually resolves the issue :) If it doesn't, send cddz a PM.
