For a mech to autofire is a bad thing. The best fix is to take out the batteries immediately, post haste, and throw the mod far far away. Then go out and buy a good quality regulated mod before you or your friend become another news story about how dangerous vaping is.
A mech and an unregulated internal battery mod are not the same thing. It’s not a mech. There is no fix. The battery electronics (most likely the button plc looking at a pic of the thing) have gone bad. It’s a disposable sealed device. Dispose of it.
Autofiring is worse than not firing at all. I know it sucks to get rid of something that seems like it "works" in a way and might be fixable, but really junk it.
Imagine if your (non Tesla and non Herbie) car started driving itself and it would not stop. (I even find Herbie creepy to be honest.) Would you be all like, "Well, it's a perfectly good car, and it drives, so I will mess with it a bit."
I wouldn't, I would call the junkyard immediately and be like," Will you please let me pay you to come "get" this car if you can coax it onto the tow truck without it blowing up."
Sorry car metaphors are my favorite when it comes to vaping safety, so another one comes along.
But no, junk it. Take the batteries out and get rid of it. Maybe bury it or something.

I would dispose of the batteries as well, get a new mod and batteries and start fresh. Just wouldn't trust that those batteries haven't been overstressed while in a bad mod.
Smokey James, take the battery out and bin it as it's dangerous.
Then advise getting something better, like a Smoant Battlestar Mini from fasttech. I've got 2 on order myself, one for my Ma and one for myself as a little something. Also trying to get my Ma to stop smoking, at least vaping is a little safer that smoking and it certainly smells better. Then I've got to help sort her a tank for her style as well as liquids, then the fun really begins.
And sorry for the self generated meme, you're welcome to pinch it. But with great power comes great responsibility.

Smokey, sorry, it sucks, but do not use that mod. It's just not safe.
There are a lot of good vape products out there, ask and we can help you with that
I really appreciate everyone's responses to my question. Yes, I recommended to him that he throw it away. He bought the Solstice at a wholesale tobacco store, so it's basically a disposable mod but similar to a smok vape pen 22. My experience is with regulated mods such as the Kaos Z, Fuchai, Rader Mage, etc. So while I promised to ask this question, I've already recommended he dispose of it! As he is a new vaper, and loves the style of my "Box Mods" but cannot vape DL, can anyone suggest a simple MTL mini box mod? I myself started with kanger top tank evod, and switched to an endura t22. Then I bought a Joyetech procore air plus, and a Kaos Z. I don't have a clue what to recommend to him!Smokey, sorry, it sucks, but do not use that mod. It's just not safe.

Smokey James, if they can stand rebuildable tank atomisers, fasttech has Prime and Doggystyle clones for really cheap prices. And folks seem to recommend them highly.
If not I'm sure that they'll have plenty of other options, for example Hellvape Hellbeast that can use Nautilus coils.

I'll second this. Perfect box mod starter for mtl. There are some decent aio tube style kits out there but for a first box mod I'd feel confident recommending it to a new vaper.
My buddy bought the bloody thing from a wholesale tobacco store. I told him that they're not worth it. But it was only $16. Does anyone know of a pen mod for $16 or less he could buy? I prefer box mods, and just ordered a snowwolf mfeng kit.Smokey, sorry, it sucks, but do not use that mod. It's just not safe.

Not to derail the thread but this actually happened to a girl I dated long ago. She was driving her truck and the linkage to the accelerator broke. For those that don't know, when this happens it forces the accelerator to FULL THROTTLE and nothing you can do from inside the car will stop it until you kill the engine. She stomped on the breaks until the pads were completely gone and the truck just kept on going full speed ahead. She hit several cars (glancing blows) before she was finally able to completely turn the engine off and roll to a stop (remember she no longer had breaks at this point). Considering she was entering a school zone with stopped traffic, it could have been a whole lot worse. Thank goodness there was a bit of a shoulder for her to get over to. Believe it or not, no one was seriously injured and she was grateful to be alive. I guess my point is, you don't have to have Herbie to end up in a runaway car.
That's scary. It's tough to know what to do in that situation with everything happening so quickly. Glad no one was seriously hurt.
That sounds dreadful I'm glad everyone was okay. Man. I might've taken the bus for a while after that.
