Mine was the same. Took a lot of hammering and cursing! Some people have managed to take it apart by letting it soak in alcohol overnight..you can try that and see if it works..
Oh okay.. So not the "button housing" but the actual thin peice of button on the vise?
Make sure that when you press the switch that the brass nut is clearing past the white plastic part of the switch otherwise you won't be making contact to the battery.
Got rid of the magnets and also the hot spring from the head. Brass contact on the head, drilled and tapped a brass screw on the switch pin, and a copper spring. Followed this guy's footstep http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/apv-discussion/399678-sigelei-mechnical-mods-165.html#post9620433 for switch fix, post #1641. Ignore the crooked screw lol should have used a drill press but hey it works and performs pretty good. No misfires or hot button.
Thanks for the help. But found out the problem. It was the conductive glue and nut that I replaced the switch magnet with. When the glue drys it doesn't conduct very well. Now I have to drill and tap and not be lazy this time
So I just got around to tinkering with the magnets some more, trying to make a true magnetic switch. Mission accomplished
The copper wire worked pretty well but I didn't like having to add a wire into the mix to make my mechanical mod work. Then I widened the bottom coil of the switch spring which worked pretty well too. I was able to get rid of the switch spring all together and this mod is hitting better than ever!
I used the top magnet from the nzonic cap:
I was able to push the magnet out of place by unscrewing the positive post with pliers:
I cut a washer for the magnet out of a small spacer from a little Plano tackle case:
Magnets in place pushing the battery up:
The opposing force is about if not a little more than the stock spring. Conductivity seems to be pretty great (no measurements, just hitting really well) and not a misfire yet. I can screw the mod all the way together with no gaps and the throw is truly tiny, maybe 1/32", or I can loosen the telescoping section a bit for a nicer throw.. really enjoying this so far. The icing on the cake is the magnets are actually powerful enough that I can still set it down upright unlocked and it won't fire!

I guess it's actually not a true magnetic switch considering one of the magnets sticks to the battery. Hmm...
If you're in the uk and buggered up your switch, vapegear are now selling the whole assembly and there's no glue on them

I don't think this has been posted in here yet. If you have the 19b (the version with the top spring instead of a magnet), remove the top spring, cut the the little screw hole out of the spring, and then you can use the softer top spring in the bottom button. It does not contact the switch housing so you will have to either do the washer trick or the copper wire trick to make the switch shaft the connection point. Works great, very easy throw, but still strong enough to hold a full tank of juice and then a bit more without firing itself.

Anyone in the U.S. sell that bottom switch? I have a small deep scratch on mine from dropping it as I came out of my car onto asphalt.It bugs me seeing that gouge there now.

Thanks for sharing! If only they had just the delrin piece available...it would be great!

Yay i was finally able to get the botton button apart. Thanks for ur help guys.. I used a vise and boom. I did have to grind a deeper notch on the magnet because it kept chipping from the force.. Now tomorrow i'll deal with modding it. Still got to read up a bit on that oart
