Did you clean your ELA before first use? It may have some machine shop fodder on it. I'd go over all the contacts with a paper tissue and also check your battery terminals for dirt and grime.
Yep I did, just wiped my contacts and batt again...lets see if the misfiring issue stops,....thanks for the input!
Make sure you have all your parts firmly seated then. Top cap, button assembly, etc. It all carries a current, so if there is any sort of play within the threaded sections, that'll cause your misfires as well.
EDIT: Also be sure to check your atomizer connection again. Remove the adjustable center pin, bottom out your atty on the top cap, then put your center pin back in until that bottoms out on your atty.
Are you sure its at the batt side? Double check your connection at the atty, and see if its backed off any, if you haven't already that is.
And if you're using a Kick, that could introduce misfires as well. Whereby that fix entails polishing the Kick contacts to remove oxidation. I'll always follow up with a tiny dab of Noalox on brass contacts to inhibit further oxidation.
checked everything as you guys said, never used a kick/crown...its really weird, everythings clean and snug
Ok, try another atty, or try that same atty on another mod. See if you can replicate the misfires.
EDIT: Also, check that the spring in the button assembly is oriented properly too.

thanks for all the help Nach... whats the correct orientation for the spring???
mine hasnt ever misfires.. nach has very good advice... i did when i got it unscrew it all and took it apart just to see how it all goes.. then put back together and tightened it all up.. when my atty goes on top i always unscrew the center post down, sit atty flush then gently screw center post till it stops.. alls good... im thinking it could be ur atty.... what kind of atty r u using?
Make sure the contact screw on the button is tightened with a screwdriver, not just finger tight. Unscrew the top center post from the top cap and wash them both with hot water and dishsoap, blow dry. If juice builds up in there it can cause problems. Make sure do grime is on the inside of the bottom screw on cap that the button passes through. You can use an eraser in there or fine sandpaper wrapped around a pen and spin it inside there.
One sort of overlooked place to clean is the locking ring, At least mine gets really really really filthy. It is a contact point so it affects current, so I think. Mine gets black grimey junk inside the mechanism and on the threads.
icucme2 Im using a Kayfun Lite, been using it for 2 months with no troubles....just did everything Nach and David said....lets see how the firing button behaves for the rest of the day.... will post the outcome later....thanks to all, you guys are awsome!
yeah let us know.. out of my atties my kayfun lite is on the ELA most of the time.. good luck
