Paragon V3 Clone?

[briandress]

Hey everyone. I have a Paragon V3 mod and am having some serious issues with it. It really wont fire unless i hit the button on an angle. Also looked inside and compared the parts with the real deal online and it seems that mine may be a clone. It looks like aluminum instead of brass. So maybe I got got on a little nice bait and switch from an unreputable shop who knows. But as my k101 is on its last legs and I dont really have a budget for a new mod I would like to see if I can make some repairs/mods to this one to get it going well. Maybe a new atomizr? I have an Igo W and everyone laughs at me because it is so old, but hey it works great for me.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Is the switch spring loaded? I'm guessing it is.

Try finding a new spring and clean out your mech best you can.

The authentic paragon V3 is aluminum.

(I've never seen an authentic brass paragon v3)

Most actual brick and mortar stores won't commit fraud by selling you a clone as a legit mod.
Your $115 isn't worth their lisc and the legal trouble associated.

As suggested, Try swapping the spring with a better one.
That will usually solve the problem.

How do i go about finding a spring for it? Any ideas for an upgraded atomizer? mine is actually over a year old so a new one might bring some better performance.

what do you mean by cleaning it out?

If the firing button is screwed all the way in it wont fire....i have to back it out a little bit to get it to make good contact. spring could be an issue for that I guess
