Here's what I'm using today, the Bolt with a Cirrus tank. You guys got me hooked on the whole 18650 plus Kick thing now, haha. At least with the Bolt:

Bolts (the metal ones) on sale - clearance right now at VapingXtreme for $20. That's where I got mine. Pic on site looks like they are anodized ones but my (black) one was the textured one, which I actually like better.Cigtechs has the red bolt for $25 right now so it's a great buy.
niceee. I wonder if the "Gray" is actually the anodized slate... I want the burgandy looking one. But if it shipped to me and it turned out to be bright brick red I'd be .......
I just got my gunmetal bolt with gunmetal artemas tank and to top it all off a gunmetal drip tip... Lovin the bolt
I posted this in the modders section but haven't gotten much of a response so I thought I would give it a go here. Any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated. In the mean time I will read through this thread.
I got a Bolt as a PIF so no warranty. When I first got it it worked only intermittently and then quit completely. I read up on it and found out it was a common problem because of the small wire and it was a relatively easy fix by replacing the wiring. I used 22 gauge solid (unstranded) wire and made sure the button was working before putting it together. I did check the grommet at the connector and it had torn so I replaced it. I took a few puffs and all was good so I went ahead and hot glued the innards in place.
After just a few more puffs it quit completely again. I took it all apart and before repairing again I retested the button. Now the button is dead. I ordered 2 more buttons like the one it came with (the black horn button from Mad Vapes). I put it back together with the new button and it worked and died again and button is dead again. I did not hot glue it that time. Got some new wire, 22 gauge stranded, and put it together again and tested again. Now I notice that the tube is a lot warmer than I felt before after 4 or 5 puffs. I took the battery out and it is warm, not hot. I waited a little while, put the battery back in and took a few more puffs. Getting warm again. I do not want to use it at this point.
At this point the button still seems good, the grommet appears to be seated right, the solder joints look fine, spring looks fine.
The battery is a Smok icr18500 1500mah charged to 4.10 volts.

It could be a battery issue. Have you tried a different battery?
