Loved the tutorial-I loved Tim Halbert's music too! Heard of Koan? Great elctronic programming there too

LOL Chad...when you say you're on the 'Left Coast', are you facing north? (I miss Cali)
And great news about the upgrade!

Hi, I just received my new VMod and I think there may be a problem with the firing button/spring? It wont turn off properly and feels kinda like the spring is grinding? also when I press down on it it feels very loose like I have to really press to get it to fire? Has anyone else had any similar problems?
Thanks
Thanks
Are you using the Vapage batteries by any chance? this is the issue when using the Vapage batteries. there's 2 solution to this. you either put the battery upside down. in my case I use an o-ring as a spacer between the nipple and the firing plate.

So what's the word on the vmod 2.0?? When is it going to be released?? I would love to use my vmod again...
Hello there...I just received a vmod that I got off of the classifieds. I'm having an issue getting it to fire. As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right; no missing gaskets, fresh battery, switch turned to the right. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but any help would be great!
skotsour, I believe the posts just before yours also dealt with this?

I've switched between an AWIMR14500 and an UltraFire 14500, my problem doesn't seem the same as the previous poster. Mine just won't fire at all. I just tried the upside down battery trick and that didn't work. Everything seems to be making contact where it should...
See if the wire is connected under the connector. It's the most common place for a circuit interruption.
Try plugging a different atty/carto and see if it fires. Just to eliminate the atty/carto causing this not to fire.
I've tried several cartos and even a couple of 510s. All the wires/connections look good...very strange. It fired the first few times I tried it, then I disassembled it, then reassembled it and then it wouldn't fire. I've had it apart several times, but I'm not seeing what I've done wrong....argh!
EDIT: Aha! Just as AG suggested. The wire under the connector wasn't touching, should that be soldered? Seems very easy to knock that wire loose. Thanks for the help everyone!!

That wire has a bend in the very end of it. You need to stick it in the hole in the connection.
Gotcha! I'll see if I can get that in there after work. Thanks again!
