It largely depends on what kind of battery you are using and the state of cleanliness of the mod. Flat top batteries require a deeper plunge than the button tops, for instance. IMRs take a little more than the protected batteries. More dirt and grime in the delrin cover will make the button harder to push...so the occasional cleaning can fix that.

The best way to find that out is to hold your mod by your ear and press the button gently until you hear it fire. Then try to duplicate the amount of pressure needed....that way, you shouldn't find yourself mashing the button.

Also, keep in mind that it is very common that when a battery has gone through its charge, its performance drops. Many of us inadvertently press the button harder as if that will make the battery perform better. I assure you, it does not. I hope this helps.

Mini may just need a bath then. Button just seems tighter then normal.

While running your mod (sans battery, atty & juice bottle) under very hot water, work that button up and down. It should get easier if dirt/grime was the cause. You can also drizzle alcohol over/through the button while working it up and down.
Work it up and down huh? LOL
