What the 
?

Of course this was going to happen, who didn't see this coming? I mean not the particulars, but a problem in general. You cannot screw that switch counter clockwise any further than having the T flush with the bottom of the tube. Everyone please pay attention to this, David mentioned it before and unless you want to send it back to have him reinsert it (for the average folk with no technical skills like me), then please pay attention to that.
That switch ratchets and you turn it clockwise only until the unit fires, and counter clockwise until it turns off. One click at a time. I assume this Trustfire, being protected, is a mm or two longer than the blue IMR maybe that's why she unscrewed it too far?
In other words, what we learned the hard way from Snork is don't crank it too far closed and what we learned from Julia is the opposite is also true. I am so sorry for you Julia, you should email David @ supertmanufacturing@yahoo.com and he will probably tell you to send it back or instruct on how to replace it although like I said it sounds beyond the average person's abilities. Don't wait for a forum response, and just put something in the subject line so he knows you had a problem besides the number thing. Best of luck.

i still dont really understand what happened though... any pictures of the parts etc. to explain so future users dont make the same mistake

It would be nice to know how much is too much .....
Is it "it fires now ... one click - it doesn't fire ..... two click - it falls out" ?
I am sure that isn't the case, LOL, but maybe a picture of "Do NOT go past HERE" type of thing would help.

The weird part was that I didn't "unscrew" it. It fired great last night, locked it a fewtimes to get a feel for it. Maybe the bottom was somewhat loose and the slightly bigger battery pushed it out of its ridges? However, when I turned it as per instructions it didn't lock. IHad to go from 12 to 6 one time to get it to lock (pretending it's a clock, two full clicks) but once it was back in its original position the next lock would take me to 9. I don't even know if I should have posted this here but e mailed David first. I am surei put it on myself somehow, all the number switching. Its a great mod, the finish feels fantastic, its shiny but won't slip and as a tactile person I love to just hold it. Will e mail David now. Crap.
That would make the heart sink..
The T on mine is just a fraction up from bottom & fires nicely.
one click counter clockwise & its flush with the tube bottom & contact broken
Thats all it needs.

I missed that...what happens Snork if we crank it to far closed?

There is no lock. It is simply an off/on switch to disconnect the battery from contact when you don't want it firing accidentally. Turning clockwise, (the T disc on the bottom) one click at a time until the side button fires your atomizer. The contact is on the inward side of the disc facing the bottom of your battery. If your Kick is crapping out, you can get some more run time by turning clockwise one more click, just don't turn it any more once you feel any resistance. When it's firing, if you want it to not fire during transport or something, turn it one click counter clockwise at a time and check to see if it fires, if it doesn't you're done if it does you can turn it one more click and check again. But as David said, just don't turn it any further than having the T symbol level with the bottom of the mod tube. Clockwise turns the disc inward toward the battery, counter turns it out of the tube away from the battery. If it fell out, it got turned counter clockwise too far somehow.
EDIT: I don't know but maybe the source of the problem is this conception of locking, I don't have a P+ so maybe she was expecting something like that where she couldn't push the button? The button will still click on the SW when turned off, it just won't fire the atty since the connection at the bottom was broken by turning it counter clockwise one click.

Silver - how did it just fall off? Was it unscrewed a lot? Loose when you got it?
I ask so the same thing doesn't happen to me .... which would just be my luck!
I don't think it was loose at all. I read the instructions and followed them. I did have a few problems getting it to lock following them, maybe I did something wrong since it didn't lock when it was supposed to. I just want it back and working so I can take it with me and see if its a daily fit. It looks and vapes beautiful. Sorry phone is acting up again.
No it's not that touchy, see my post above. It's nothing to get worked up over as long as you don't turn it past flush. There is no need to. Maybe Julia's was already turned open alot, I don't know, but I doubt it because at some point she was vaping so it was in contact. Other than turning it too far, I don't know how it would come out.It would be nice to know how much is too much .....

It didn't fall out when I touched it. Ther battery must have pushed it out. The bottom cap is very light hence I didn't feel it when it fell on my sheets. It was loose for whatever reason. I tried to follow the directions but had to do an extra turn to lock it, maybe that was the problem, I don't know .
No worries, nothing is wrong or broken or defective, the master on/off just got screwed all the way out. the battery can't push it out. Its a bit tricky to get back in, but easy if you know how. To reinsert, line up the detent ball sticking out the side of "T" with one of the slots machined into the inside of the bottom of the body (there are four slots in there), press it down in there with the ball in one of the slots and turn clockwise. It will usually only start screwing in on one of the slots, so you may have to try all four slots. I'll try to do up a video here shortly.
To disconnect power, one need only turn it about flush with the bottom of the mod. To remove it completely, you need to go a couple of extra turns past the "off" position.

Silver - how were you expecting it to "lock"? A "hard-stop" like the Caravela?
I don't think this would ever do that, correct?

AWESOME, that sounds easy enough. Good to know in case...
The Shockwave doesn't have a switch lock, even better it has a master power disconnect, which completely disconnects the battery power.
I did a quick thread search and no results came back for the question I'm about to ask...Can anyone tell me if the MNKE IMR 26650's will fit in the Shockwave? I was about to place an order for a couple but thought I better check to see if they fit first. Any info is greatly appreciated. Have a great day!
Yes, any 26650 should fit. As to those in particular, they definitely do.
