Coolfire 1 button problems

[JayJ]

As the title suggests I'm having an intermittent problem with my coolfire 1 button. Sometimes while vaping it seems to think I've done three rapid presses to turn the unit off, in fact it's getting quite frequent. Now I'm sure I haven't got a twitchy thumb so wondered if anybody had experienced this or knew a fix. I actually quite like this mod so don't want to chuck it in the drawer of doom. Any advice appreciated

I think that's the way mine is heading aswell. The last time I used it or tried to a couple of days that's what seemed to be happening. Sounds like a common fault then.

Yeah i know vendors have had an awful lot returned. Could you return it for a new one?

Ive had a cf2returned with the same issue, the buttons on the svd cf1 and cf2 can develop that fault

I wonder if it is the same fault as the SVD button.
my SVD does the same and turns off. but it is "livable" with just now, it hasn't gotten any worse and seems to be better if the fire button is pressed at the edges.
Also JayJ try spinning the button insert round a couple of times, seems to help with the point of contact.

ruffdog thank you for the advice. I've emailed the vendor and asked if he could offer any advice. I've only had it since April and it's rotated with a vamo and occasionally a nemesis so it's not been hammered. Perhaps I should have mentioned that in the email.

the coolfire 1 coolfire 2 and the SVD use the same switch and 510 threaded endcap and I haven't managed to get one off yet without damage to the endcap the switches in these really are bad I am trying to get a threaded cap made for my bench so I can open these without damage but I am getting quoted silly money at the moment I will get back to you if I can get one made

[JayJ]

ronaldo thanks for posting. I know they're not an expensive mod as mods go but I really like the size and feel of mine so it's a shame it's failing so soon.

[ronaldo]

it sure is and if I can get an adapter made it will be an easy fix but every one I have tried to open has buggered up the end cap

Pics of the switch they use and a potential fix if you can mangle your way into it (svd shown but as ronaldo says they use the same switch so may be able to figure out some way into the lil blighter

dalealan thanks for the link but at moment pics are not showing up, instructions to me without pics is asking for trouble.

ronaldo If you want mine to try with I'll send it, if it ends up fubar then so be it. I'm going to give the vendor a little more time.

I've sent 2 emails to the vendor with no reply since last week. I don't do ranting or demanding refunds until it's necessary which i don't feel it is at this time but I'm still rather disappointed.

Just checked again JayJ they're showing up ok on the ipad. Seems a right faff on getting the top off

[ronaldo]

it is a right faff getting the top off I haven't got one off yet without damage wish I could as there is a lot out there that needs repairing
they knew what they were doing when they designed them shame really as they are a lovely little mod when they work

[JayJ]

Third email sent, lets hope it's lucky. I appreciate vendors get really busy but I expected more from this one really and it's not like I wouldn't spend more. I've placed a few orders in the past and had no reason not to continue.
