Totally possible but, how many times have you read about a regulated mod failing and it's reduced to" liquid on the board". Not talking about auto firing just failure entirely. That's what I was saying.

I think where the Differences are is in 99% of the Mods, it is Relatively easy to keep e-Liquids out of the Circuit Board area. Whereas with the DripBox, the Circuit Board area is in the Direct Path of Free Flowing e-Liquid.
I was kinda Surprised when I Popped of the 510 Connecter on my DripBox. There isn't much to keep e-Liquid from reaching the Circuit Board.
I'm not saying that e-Liquid caused the OP's problem. And there have been a few Reports of Stuck Firing button right out of the Box.
Only saying that e-Liquid on the DripBox's circuit board is a Possibility. Give the way that the e-Liquid Flows from the Bottle to eventually end up at a Wick.
I've got nothing against mech mods BUT let's not act like this kind of thing won't happen with a mech!
Post FDA; I've got enough regulated mods to outlive me. This whole mech mod or nothing reminds of me old men who brag about how carburetors are better because "electronics fail." A well built regulated device should last indefinitely, a well-built mech should last indefinitely. I've got the original ECU in my 93 f150, still works. I don't get this whole old school anti-electronic horse
about regulated mods.

For $24, FT has a Reo clone. Locking switch, full mechanical, weighs the same. If concerned, switch out the internal parts.
I don't see how an inherently bad design can be translated into "it's the user's fault". A battery cover that can turn an electronic PV into an autofiring device is simply a bad design. A battery cover should be screwed in place - or not. There should not be "degrees of screwed on ok" involved.
PureSmoker had a 510 connector that would dead short if devices were over tightened. Their suggested fix of "don't do that" did not prevent PureSmoker from getting sued into oblivion due to an exploding device or three. Bad design is just that - bad design.
The design allows for variations in battery length. I think it's a neat little design. There's no need to vice the battery cap tight. Just enough to be solid. That doesn't stop some people.

So you're still using your first computer? Cell phone? Never had to change a light bulb?
Bet you still have and use the same hammer you bought. Drop your hammer and I bet it still works. Drop it in some water and I bet it still works.
Mechs are more reliable and easier to repair. True story....
Electronics increase chance of failure by increasing variables...

Battery survived to live another day. I do suggest getting some LG HG2's from 101 Vape though. About 12 bucks a pair and they are really 3000mah and 20amp. You will be very happy you did
sorry about your device. I think you could probably put a different atty on it and still use it if you could get the button sorted out. Take the battery out of it when its being left unattended. It looks like the mod is ok just the plastic atty melted.
I've been using the same computer for 5 years, everything still works except the screen which is my fault. The only thing that ever broke on my computers is a HDD, last I checked a DNA 200 doesn't have a HDD or any moving parts for that matter. I've had one phone die on me out of six that I've owned. I forgot incandescent light bulbs are supposed to last indefinitely.
Can electronics fail? Yep! Will all four of my regulated mods fail and be un-repairable? Nope.
Unless your regulated mods are all Provari's, I seriously doubt that any will last indefinitely. Maybe you are especially more careful with your gear than the average person, but to expect a regulated mod made in China to last indefinitely is looking through rose colored glasses. Good luck with that strategy. Out of curiousity, what reg. mods do you have?I've got nothing against mech mods but._.

That's why i said kind of.........
I get why they would allow it to do it. But a warning should have be included. The fact it wasnt leads me to believe no testing was done on it, from all the issues with the nebox I think thats the case. There is a diff between a warning included with the device and responding to issues saying just dont do it. One saves you from being sued while the other gets you sued, think "this liquid is hot". With that said I prob would have done the same thing if it had no warning just because I would of thought "don't want the cover to come off"
Provari is what I meant, also the DNA boards. I've got a VT200, hotcig dx200, cuboid, ipv5, ipv4, MVP20w, Nemesis clone, and I'll be getting a Provari v2.5 next week. I've got a couple electricians in my family so any soldering that needs to be done will be done. I don't hate mech users, or mech mods.
I have a few mech mods, just in case. Since the original MVP came out (2012-13?), I've only broken one regulated mod, and one or two tanks.
The broken mod was because I often neglected to properly secure the mod before conducting significant off-road activities in my HMMWV. It was an IPV D3, which lasted for quite a few field exercises before giving up. I kind of beat the hell out of it, TBH. Since then, I've been a little more careful with devices.
However, when I jumped out of planes on a regular basis, I never jumped with a regulated mod, only mechs with drippers - with the battery removed and a couple wraps of electrical tape around the batteries.
I have a few mechs, about a dozen regulated mods, a bunch of tanks/drippers, and about 10 years of nicotine base in the freezer. I'm not set up for life, but that's fine. I can live without vaping - I'd prefer to continue vaping, but if I have to quit that's fine.
BOOM!
Check out the classifieds Ernie. You can get a regular Reo (not low profile, super light, etc) in great shape for around $70 and that may well come with spare parts. Great deal if that's your cup of tea.
Mine is in the vapeocalypse box right now, cleaned and lubed up for storage. I don't use it anymore, but it's tough as nails, a great vape and not worth selling for what it's worth today

Maybe but isn't the actuator bottom upstream from the built-in 10sec fire protection feature?
I'm not familiar with this mod but it seems unlikely.

I have a tube mech from the old days. Also, a Reo and a clone with 6 BF atties. Two VS DNAs and three Provaris. My number of RTA/RDAs will last forever. I gotta say that I backtracked from just buying shinitis to tried and true atties. I noticed that the original Lemo is still $35. Even the KFL Plus is selling lower. But, I have them, too. Anyway, I have been preparing with spare parts and DIY stuff.
As was said, I don't have to vape. Really my bad spot is when I am at the darn computer. I sit at the TV in the evening and forget that it is sitting there. Keeping it out of my line of sight has really helped. I need to do that when at the computer more. But, I like it.
I have worked on my dependency, and, I have worked on my vapocolypse prep. I guess I am preparing for either.
Good to prepare.

Get a REO. Look in the classified section for a used one. No reason to buy 3 or 4 garbage boxes when you can just buy a REO once and be done with it.
Reos are incredibly well built durable devises. The only issue is their only downside. The fact it's mechanical. Mechanical devises just can't power the big wire mass builds. If your interested in a reo be prepared for unparalleled customer service and reliability but also prepare to build simple coils.
