I was hoping to get some feedback as to how I can get my Phalanx to not miss fire. I really want to love this mod as it was 150 dollars. Triple 18650 in parallel made by Cloud Chasers Inc.
Phalanx box mod miss-firing

Id hate for this box mod to be a waste of money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Please describe what happens when it "misfires"
If it is a mech clean every electrical contact.
If it is regulated sounds like your fire button is bad.

Yes it was the block that the switch contacts. I contacted someone at Vapors Cloud and they informed me on how to fix this. A little build up from sitting in the box for who knows how long. I just wasnt sure since theres a plate covering the internals and didnt know it came off as easily as it did.
Not really.
I've got a 50 watt istick that doesn't always fire when I push the button.
I have an anodized aluminum cherry bomber that will hit soft + hotswitch if the button post doesn't make proper contact in the barrel.
I have a praxis clone that will hit soft from the carburization buildup on the switch after a few days of vaping at a fifth of an ohm.
All three are "misfires" so without description, the term is a bit useless for figuring out what is actually going on.

I used a small flathead screwdriver to pry off the panel. Once the panel is off you need to scape the contact block and the contact on the switch, I also used a flathead to scape the contacts. The panel is in there really tight. I kindof scratched up mine doing it but it works perfectly now.
This is what one of the people at VaporzCloud told me in an email
"What you need to do is get the back plate off first so you can see the where the firing switch is inside the mod. You will have to drill a hole to the right of the CCI logo and up just a little bit. Do not drill to close to the edge of the plate. After that take something that will fit into the hole to pry off the plate. Once you get the plate off all you need to do is take a small file or a small flathead screw driver and just scrape the inside of the of the firing switch. What is happening is the switch that makes contact with the actual 510 block to make it fire is getting build up on it. Just make sure that you do not have batteries in your mod when you do this."

"You need to drill a hole in our mod to take it apart for maintainance."
Freaking seriously? How much did you spend on the box?

Its a triple parallel fully mechanical box mod. It costs around 100 Dollars. Im 100% happy with my purchase. Just because I had to fix it doesnt mean Its garbage.
I'm not saying it is garbage at all, just that a mech costing 100-150 dollars should have been designed with regular maintainence in mind. As long as you are happy and it works for you, that is what is important.
Greeting,
Considering to purchase this mod.
Would you be kind and take an image (switch/connector etc.) of internals under the cover.
Feedback much apprciated.

Sounds like it is a block and plunger type affair, like the cherry bomber, raptor, smaug, Bigfoot, and similar mods.
If you want a 3s box, check out the lethal.

Who needs 12 volts? Maybe if you carry a crate of batteries with you at all times... Il stick with my parallel boxes. Its not about the volts, Its about your build.
Yes Im just trying to figure out how to do that. I cant just add an attachment.

You might need to clean the contacts when you receive the mod. After 4 months usage with very low builds I needed to place a peice of buisiness card behind the side plate that runs from bottom to top.
