Hey folks!
I got my ELA in the mail last week and have been admiring the build quality ever since.
However, I have a few concerns
I'm getting a hot button probably 3/10 times firing it. I've wiped down all of the contacts with a soft cloth and made sure there is nothing on the contacts. And my second concern is that I'm getting a decent amount of battery rattle after a few vapes. I have unlock the telescoping part, and tighten it back down but it only stays nice and rattle free for a few minutes.
Anyone else experience these issues?

A little update,
Went over all of my threads and contacts with a q-tip and some PGA, made sure everything was nice and clean. Vaped a few minutes after, the button got so hot it hurt my finger. I'm not sure what the issue is, i've tried three different fully charged 18650s and having the same issue still

I think the rattle and the short are related.
Do you have an 18350 or 18490/18500 you can try?
Is there an oring inside the tube by the switch?
Also make sure the screw is tightened into the button.

Unfortunately I dont have an 18350 or 18490 I can try
Looking down into the tube, I see a black O-ring sitting down above the button, I took a q-tip and pushed it down to make sure it was seated right in the tube also.
What screw are you talking about for the button?

Hot button usually means your attached atomizer has a short somewhere. Try a different device on top. The unit will sort of get loose when something is wrong. Usually the spring will collapse to protect itself.
I'll have to wait until I get home to try another attie on it. I'm pretty sure there isnt a short in the attie itself though since it fires fine on my other mod with short protection
I would have to agree. I think I remember reading somewhere that the ELA is designed to "loosen" itself in the event of battery venting, shorts, etc. Which last time that happened to me, it was because of the atty.

Im not sure what screw that tightens into the button you are talking about, as of right now this is the only thing I have yet to check
If you pull the switch off the bottom of the ELA, you will see the "phillips" slotted post. You will need to be sure that "screw" is tight. If you pull your ELA apart @ the locking ring, take your battery out, and look down in the tube. See the screw?

The rhodium plated negative battery post is a screw in the bottom button. Make sure that is nice and tight.
Ah that explains my confusion. I had checked that part earlier and it was so tight into the button it looked like one solid piece. So yeah, the screw/post is nice and snug inside of the button assembly. Thanks for the pictures and help so far, this has me scratching my head

Thanks Nach!
Hey Sklarzo, when did you place your order for the ELA? Been patiently waiting for about 3 months, and trying to get an idea of when mine might get shipped.
