Ok, I think I've finally gotten the short problem figured out (maybe), I guess we'll see what happens, I think it might just be the spring for the 510 pin on the device was just a bit stiff out of the box, understandable.
I was just curious if there was any more updates on the battery gauge indicator on the device. I know I have seen quite a few people say that their indicator always shows full, even though the device has been used a fair bit. Mine also does the same, but wasn't sure if anyone has found a way to correct this. I have pulled my battery out of my device after using it for several hours, thrown it in my charger and seen that it has quite a bit to charge. It's not a huge deal for me, cause I usually carry an extra battery with my when I'm out and about and will swap them out about half way through my day, but having a working battery indicator would really give me a better idea of when I should do that, if at all.
Other than that, and the initially figuring-out of nickel builds, I'm overall quite happy with my new device! Now just waiting for my Lemo to come in, so I can try a nickel build on something other than a dripper!
