ok now you gotta tell us who this unnamed person is!
ok I figured out one problem I was having, the inconsistent firing and having to squeeze it so hard and it seemed if I didn't hold it in the right spot it wouldn't hit as hard or misfire... turns out somehow the bottle must have gotten pulled down a little. I didn't notice because I had the lower screw in there for the past few days. the bottle was now just slightly below the lower deck but pushing against the lower cap. this put pressure on the lower cap causing misfires. i raised the bottle a bit up on the hose and removed the lower screw now, running it on the magnets now and it's back to working perfect. I'm using it with just the magnets and I'm kind of getting used to it.
now I'm wondering exactly how long this bottle being too low has been that way. the first day I used the mod I was just pocketing it and a few times I tried to pull it from my pocket from the head and the head came out while the body stayed in my pocket

maybe this is when the bottle got pulled down a little. if that's the case that might have been a reason why I winded up having to mash the button harder and harder. I did fiddle around with it before putting the screw in there and I think I would have noticed that, but it wasn't sticking out much at all, just enough to make a difference. it's working really fine now.
if that was my whole problem from the beginning then I really feel like an as shole
