Yeah, that's what he said

Thanks for the update, David. I sent back everything just to be safe, as I wasn't yet clear on what exactly you needed.

Yes, when we press your Rhodium plated center post into the new adjustable holder, it will fit old ELA's and new ELA's, all cap types including adjustable draw. It was a thread problem on the first batch of ELA adjustable center post holder. Newer models aren't having the problem. Our fix is that you send in your adjustable post holder (it contains the pressed in Rhodium contact that we need to press out and press into the new adjustable post holder). Some have sent the caps, but we no longer need those, just the adjustable post holder. We have no more rhodium plated contacts, so we need to use your existing one.

David: Thanks so much, for clearing that up.

No spring here. But, if I see them, I will let you know or snatch one for you.

Okay.. I have had my Patriot Dual coil on my friends ELA for a whole dead batteries worth of vaping now. I havent had one hot button. Im to the conclusion its my ELA now... Im going to have to send it in =(

How long have you had your ELA and when was the last time you broke it down completely , I mean the button, all parts, and the locking ring. Its surprisng how filthy it gets just from week to week, so if you have had it for a while it might be full of gunk and the hot button could be a result.

This. Due to all the parts ELA have, it needs frequent cleaning to perform optimally. More than any other mod I own.
That's the only "flaw" I can find with it.

 

[anavidfan]

Yeap, most important parts to keep clean are the locking ring and the button parts. If your locking ring starts to slip, its due to dirt and oils. I take mine apart weekly, give a good wash and alcohol rub. If it is still slippy I clean it with autosol and man does the black stuff come off from the ring and the outer ring. The button too, every once in a while it starts to feel odd and I take autosol to it and alcohol and it hits like day one.

I have NEVER cleaned my ELA's yet... save for a button once or twice. My ELA's still perform flawlessly. 8 months with no cleaning, still hits like a champ!

I am still using ELA #1. I have not bathed her yet.

Your spring may of failed. It is the most common reason for button heat. Over time the spring may of finally failed. Clean the device including breaking the switch completely down. and swap springs and test. The build up can cause a conductive failure as well. I would invest in a HD spring if you are going to keep running dc on anything! I did!
Cucco asks a great question as well. Ohms?
Even though Nachostud hasnt cleaned his, there are too many variables to compare apples to apples.
Much like 2 identical cars with the same mileage, one may have a spark plug failure and the other none. GL!

I keep wondering all the time how some of them are plugging away perfectly while some of ours are getting decreases in performance and need to clean more often.

I think i posted this before but i think it has to do with humidity etc , but i think its the atomizers. I use Odysseus mainly. They have the air intake on the 510 connection which causes condensation going back into the to cap and inside the tube. This causes a film and dirt.
Cucco uses a kayfun which uses a side air intake so it and others like it stay cleaner?

Just a theory

Hey girl!
Far to many variables, Volts, Ohms, batteries, temperature, humidity, length of time on the fire button, vaping style, and most important FM Heels. . I'm sure there are ones I left out.

I heard that Nacho enjoys the FM Spikes...just sayin.

ELA #1, has not yet had a bath. She hits as good, as the day I got her. ELA #2, was only vaped a few weeks, and I sense a voltage drop. No, snork, I did not test her yet. But, I will. Due to the performance issue, I have gone back to ELA #1. This weekend, I hope to test ELA #2. Then, if there is truly an issue, I will try giving her a bath. Once I make sure she is fit, I will give poor ELA #1 a bath.

Maybe, ELA #2, needs me to put on my FM spikes?

I get 'hot button' if I do .5ish ohms. I am good, if I do .6ish ohms.

 

[rojo]

I get hot button sometimes if my atty has a short. Sometimes it helps to experiment with turning the atty a degree one way or the other. Never happens with my Kayfun or Russian 91, only my cheap manky Chinese atties.

If I ever sense voltage drop, it usually clears up if I loosen the knurled ring, turn the tube a quarter turn, then tighten it down again. It doesn't happen often though.
