Please help!!!

My eleaf istick 50watt has an issue with the button. It works on and off but keeps acting like I'm repetitively pressing the fire button. It will switch from watts to voltage, turn on and off and stop firing. All while just trying to take a simple hit from it. My 30 day in store warranty is past so I can't take it back. Does anyone know what to do?

Open it clean the button contact area/remove finger gunk from around the button.

I already tried that... I even tried using it out of its shell.

I'd get rid of it. Seriously. The 50 watt model has had some seriously bad issues. Don't believe me? Then google ''My istick 50 watt exploded''. This was not just a solitary incidence, there have been multiple reports on multiple forums.

I would if it wasn't my only mod lol. I don't start my new job til Monday so it'll be another two weeks until I can get a new one. I've seen those reports and honestly I think eleaf should do a recall and replace them like when a car part gets recalled and you take your car to the dealer so they can fix it ya know?

so many things can be wrong which are not recommended for fixing like melted solder on contacts, bad chip, short circuit, etc. I wouldn't open it up. I must recommend safely discarding of that item through an electronics recycling service. I would pick up something more reliable that runs perhaps on an 18650 battery. perhaps this? unless you need more wattage.

I totally agree with you. I have been quite critical of ismoka and eleaf for how they have handled these matters.

I find it amusing that their former parent company, Joytech, has dropped their association with them.

I am seriously considering the Evic VTC mini. Replaceable 18650. NI and TI TC modes. 1-60W. And firmware upgrade able.

if it were a replaceable battery mod, you could take the battery out and open it up and fix it,
but since it's a fixed battery mod, best to get rid of it.
