Switch problem

[AndyLAG]

So..I don't know what happened to my mini, but my switch is connecting with the battery when the mod is not even in my hand. I have to take the battery out after every vape or it sits and smokes because the connection doesn't break.

I can reach up inside the mod and push the button up and it won't fire, but as soon as I push the button down to vape again it just stays down and connected to the battery.

I guess I am going to have to send my mini to Rob, but I thought I would post my issue here just in case someone knows a fix.

I have heard that you can take the battery out and clean the switch with PGA. Then put on some noalox and try it. You can dry it faster with a hair dryer.

Even running a little water or isopropyl alcohol over the switch while you work it will clean it out. After a while, pocket lint, dust, dirt, etc. can cause it to get sticky. Just clean it until it operates freely, dry it, and you're good to go.

I had a similar issue. Cleaning it with 99% IPA fixed the sticking button, but then the actual firing pin broke off (doh!). Rob got me sorted out within a week round-trip. Awesome customer service

That's why I bought a second mini. You never know...... and I'm not going to be without a PV. All my old Ego stuff died a long time ago.

My buttons sometime feel like the pin is scaping the sides of the button so I apply a little Noalox around it and try to get some behind the pin. Works good.
