G'morning! Just to rule out the basics first... Have you adjusted your center pin in the mod? On a Sig it's got a screw in the middle of the 510, just unscrew it a lil bit so it sticks up more
I don't see a screw, i pushed on the copper pin a few times, got a couple of my attys to make a connection, but feel like it wont last long, thank you for the help, but dont see the screw, the pin moves up and down like its on a spring
On my ipv 2 mini i see the screw your talking about

Have you tried cleaning the pin with a cotton swab and making sure the spring is working?
Oh wow, I thought Sigelei had an adjustable. If it's spring loaded then you'll have to get something like a straightened paper clip etc to pry it up a little bit. Sorry 
Exercise the 510 spring, clean it out as best you can. Using RDAs with long 510s, bottoming the spring out and chain vaping at high wattage will cause a lot of heat transfer, the compression and heat to the spring will just cause it to lose all its strength.
If its under warranty, send it in, otherwise the only real solution would be to replace the 510 yourself or as ugly as it is use a 510 heat sink with a long 510 on it. Something like one of these

Thanks for the advice guys, spring works fine just seems like it lost its strength past a certain point.
Any suggestions on a similiar regulated box mod? Other than the IPV4 my old one shorted and fried.

The ipv mini 2 doesn't have a screw it's just a weird design. Don't turn it. It'll break the wiring.
Do you have or know someone with a solder iron or a good butane torch? Or a b&m might have one you could borrow, depending on how well you know em, lol. Point being you can get a fat daddy 510 or similar for about $5-10, it's a very, very easy solder (first time I ever used a solder iron was doing this on a regulated mod and it worked great, there are YouTube vids that show how-to) - might keep you from having to drop a ton of cash on a new mod. Just speaking from the POV of a broke single mom who's wanted a Sigelei for about 6 months, I'd hate to see it hit the junk heap over such an easy fix!
Would it be worth it to take it apart and try to replace
Thanks, checked out some videos going to try to fix it, looks like its not the spring but one of the wires broke off where it was soldered.
Parts of the board look fried was working fine yesterday, had the IPV4, heated up randomly one day in my hand smelt burning plastic, took it apart, chips look like my IPV4 when it fried just not as bad and didnt notice it.

I don't have a clue about the board, sorry... Have read some about it but to me, seems like the kind of thing I won't fully understand enough to explain until I have to actually do it. Lol I'm sure there are people on here who can tell you exactly how tho.. If no answer comes up here, try re-posting in the apv subforum, more of the supergurus tend to hang out there lol
It has a 90 day warranty just send it back ... And if it's out ofwarranty you pay $38 and they will replace it.. sorry but I can't think of the importers name right now they're the ones who do the warranty work here .. I would definitely try cleaning the centerpost with an eraser or rubbing alcohol
