I hate to blow the budget but stuff from FT always has a risk of being DOA (Dead on arrival)

I recommend www.vapegear.co.uk/Provari_v25/cat1826720_2378744.aspx

Really - I've had the majority of my vaping gear from FT and so far (touch wood) everything has worked fine, no DOA's at all.

Mind you I do mostly buy the authentic gear and not clones such as authentic Innokin, Kanger, Aspire and eLeaf - maybe that makes a difference eh

The fire button is loose and wobbles so think maybe its faulty and will go though the hassle of returning!

Fire button was loose on one of my other Isticks and only worked for about 6 weeks.

One of my isticks' fire button was loose and rattling like hell. After a few uses it would not read the ohms on any atty and would not fire.

My OH unscrewed the top of the istick, raised the pin just a little and stuck some mastic in there to secure the pin in it's newly raised position. There was already mastic in there but not enough to hold the pin up.

It works a treat now, no problems at all.

Before he messed about with it we compared 2 of my other isticks to the faulty one and could see straight away that the pin was far lower down than the good working ones.

Where do I get a tool to unscrew the top? Thinking of trying this on my defunct Istick?

For the 20 W iStick it's a T5 torx driver, 99p delivered.

I finally got a replacement from FT today and guess what not switching on after 5 clicks although display shows 100%!

Not happy.

Solved it. 5 clicks on within 2 seconds. Was clicking too slowly
