Only way NASA would allow for trips to the Space Station - unlocking has to be premeditated and not trivial
That's the nature of the beast, David has said it is fiddly but that you also don't need to lock it nearly as much as the flat bottom does prevent those kind of misfires.

A couple others have found the same thing you have. David did say it would be tricky to lock/unlock, but for those who wanted the flat look, at least they would not have to buy a non-super T item for their ELA. The Satburn utilizes the bottom contact with a sort flat disc button, works nice from what I hear, but is not as well made or looks as great.
Sort of a toss up. Really when you think about it, the way the Super T bottom wont fire easily accidentally, and if needed to store you can lock it or take the battery out.
Just my thoughts on the "buttons" I have the Super T bottom , love the looks the feel and build, not really as comfortable as the standard, but I at least have it for a change in looks should I want.
BTW, I did not mean to make it sound like the Satburn is not a good item, I dont have one so I cant honestly give an opinion on its quality or how it performs, I can only go by its looks and a couple others posts about the machining being good, but not superb.

Some battery chargers have over drain protection but they generally aren't used in vaping. Some of the chargers I worked with would drain the battery to its lowest safe level and then turn off for a bit before turning back on to charge. The only thing "dangerous" that I know about it was that you could drain it to the point of rendering it useless and would no longer take a charge.
The pro far outweighs the con. I love the flat bottom. Nice and sturdy when standing up on flat surfaces.
I grabbed the Satburn button as well prior to scoring the ELA. I bought it thinking I was getting the ELA quickly. That fell through. Thankfully my want ad was successful; otherwise I would've have switches with no mod. I've yet to receive it, but I'm glad I have both.

Perhaps the danger is in trying to charge a battery that has been over-discharged? I'm no expert on the subject, of course, but it sounds plausible
ELA #2 (I think.), processed through Tampa. That means, I may have her tomorrow. 223 days! So happy!

Super duper jealous

I recommend cautious optimism, I'm #16275 and I ain't received nuttin' yet 8-o (no shipping notice)
I received two shipping notices. Waiting on ELAs, Stratas, Top Caps, and Ti 500s. So, I think it is ELA #2. My #(16184) is up! The other shipping notice, I am assuming, is the Top Caps.

Oh, I thought #2 was 1627 ... something, probably is your #2 ELA

Nope..... 15461, 16184, and 16440.
I have had my ELA since July 3rd 2013 and it has been the best vape purchase I ever made!!!! The wait was so so worth it and I have not found anything with a better button. I am so happy I don't want any other mechs the ELA has ruined me and made me a customer for life. Now if I can just find a Shockwave for sale!!!!!!
Wanted to share an observation. I was having the hot button issue a while back, and discovered the atty was screwed down too tight. Backing it off fixed it, but if I screwed it down too tight again, the button would get hot again. Switching to the flat housing with the non-locking, brass button, completely fixed this. Too tight or not, no hot button. Whether this was fixed because of the non-locking button or the flat housing, I can't say.
you hit the nail on the head!!!!!!!! My ELA is my daily driver and needs to go to david for a refinish but I cant bring myself to send it back lol.
Hey P!
I just posted this on the GP thread as the discussion came up. Seems the threads run parallel on topic most days
."Honestly Digi, the rule of thumb rests on your vaping style, battery care and battery type.
Example - I use IMR exclusively, average 10-12 watts each build - sometimes more sometimes less, I have 8-10 batteries of each size in rotation with new extras on hand, my smaller batteries last 5-6 months for 60+ cycles, my larger batteries a bit longer.
I also never run a battery under 3.6v before recharge...saves a ton of money(and good reason to kick).
Meter coils and batteries. I throw away batteries that still charge and operate if they do not charge to recommended 4.2 + or -.
If a battery gets hot from a stuck switch or such, it goes in the trash after a safe cool down. Some will put them in the refer to cool and reuse if they hold a charge
. Not this guy.I went through a phase with the old PAPS switch when I would forget to lock it due to head injury. I hated myself and Lighthound was sending me weekly reminders to buy batteries .
If your charger has overcharge protection you are fine to forget until you remember. A habit of replacing any batteries every 2-3 hours even if still above 3.6 is a great practice if possible and will extend the cycle #.
Batteries are rudimentary in our world and understanding ohms law, amps, volts etc.is undervalued."
I received two shipping notices. Waiting on ELAs, Stratas, Top Caps, and Ti 500s. So, I think it is ELA #2. My #(16184) is up! The other shipping notice, I am assuming, is the Top Caps.
Has anyone else noticed all of Cucco's purchases end in "S"?
Is there a bulk purchase discount I didn't know about?
In other news I finally got my flat button in after an extended visit through the USPS facilities. I don't think anyone has posted pictures of a satin so here's mine
