I was told that on the devapes model the groove that the posts ride in, the grooves that surround the pin that needs to be replaced with copper, that when it hearts up it expands/contracts and that filing it out a tiny bit would help. Just thought that 2 with mentioning.
@nicksteel :I totally agree, I run gennys primarily, circa 0.70hm and I like the flush mounted side button to designate where my wick is in regards to degree of tilting required. I also hate having to fidget with a safety before and after firing, I want a one handed in the dark, mod for a genny... With low voltage drop. That's about it and u was hoping this was it.



@the4thpower3- the problem I had similar to your problem say excess glue causing it to bind up and not fire however in your case you probably would have seen that and it probably is melting. Again you may want to file those grooves out a bit however I think that may lead to the button not making even contact, especially if you haven't upgraded to a copper pin.
The devapes pin is made of some cheap crazy crap that just needs to get tossed, I'm sure they could have used copper for the same price, with better results of they didn't have their heads up their assez when they designed the Clone... It's so pretty tho... That's my biggest problem.

I recently acquired a set of used DaVapes tubes/pants/shirt and the first thing i noticed is that the tubes/pants are about 4-5mm longer than my Asmart clone tubes/pants. I had to use a larger spring in the Asmart battery cap to compensate for the extra length, even with nipple top batteries. The shirt actually fits better than the shirt that came with my Asmart.

UpDATE:

Sorry i was teed off about my FT poldiac,it wasnt too good straight outta the box.I did some ''modifcations'' and its working a LOT better.

1.Ripped apart the switch and super glued the magnet to the button,the thing was just hanging on.
2.Adjusted the top and bottom pins to get the button aligned to the skirt hole,now it smooth as silk and i dont have to push hard at all.
3.For som reason the top pin works better and seems to be a higher height and makes contact with my tank posts.
4.I made the bottom spring less stiff by squessing it closed with pliers a few times anf now its not bad.
5.Sanded sharp edges on the skirt hole and made it a tad bigger,alos sanded all sharp edges even the small slots were sharp.

BTW.this mod works great with the RSST,no need for an oring,the tank also is lighter than most and not top heavy,all in all im happy now.

Only thing i dont like is its a 1/2 taller than my Nemmy.The Poly hits hard but my Nemmy and MI6 still hits a tad harder.One thing i do really like about this is no need too keep locking the button when i lay down and no smelly hands from brass.

I was wrong, 5mm is more than the actual difference. I just measured the tubes/pants more carefully and here is what I found. Asmart 18350 tube is about 1mm shorter than the DaVapes 18350 tube. The Asmart 18490/18500 extension is 2mm shorter than the DaVapes. This makes the Asmart a total of 3mm shorter in 18490/18500 mode versus the DaVapes. When using the Asmart bottom cap and DaVapes 18490/18500 tubes I had to use a larger spring in the Asmart bottom cap to compensate for the 3mm height increase of the DaVapes tubes. Ironically, the Asmart 18650 tube/pant is about 1.5mm taller than the DaVapes 18650 tube/pant. The Asmart switch is just slightly taller, about 0.5mm, than the DaVapes switch.

Are you talking about the area of the contact screw that sticks into the groove of the button? If so well there's the bottom one too that's the same.
And maybe sand it off the pin in the button, what ever it is it's probably used on all three pieces.
I just woke up and have read your post again, pin button, button pin , I got it now.

No,im not talkn about the top and bottom silver pins,i mean the pin inside the button,it has no threads,its justa small ''rod''.

I had to re-glue the magnets and the button also,best way to glue the button back is to just glue it with the mod completely assembled and hold it pressed for a few minutes ,makes it easier to line up,i will say this....IM A HAPPY CAPMER NOW.
Its so cool too be able to put the mod down without having too lock it and no more wobbling on the table,this mod is pretty damn COOL.Also i love the polished SS,no more smelly brass hands.Ill have try too get a pure silver pin button or copper and try that...IM IMPPRESSED.

I love the RSST on this too,perfect looking,it actually feels pretty light with the RSST.

My Nemmy is now sitting all alone on my table....:firefox:
