So a while ago I bought a SMPL v2 Mod clone from fasttech as well as a Praxis Derringer clone. I had for months been vaping away happily until I started encountering issues.
Issue #1: Not Firing
So my mod has decided to not fire and I tried to fix it based on others forum posts, cleaning, filing and fiddling my way through the button assembly. However I still cannot get my mod to fire even after changing batteries and attys.
Issue #2: Strange Marks (arcing?)
One my mod did decide to fire I started to notice this very strange ring begin to accumulate around the top of the battery tube. If I was vaping in a dark room I would also experience a very small continuous spark as I pressed the firing button. This phenomenon has also resulted in a few burns from that sparky area.
Tl;DR if there is no simpler solution other than buying a different vape I will gladly settle on that, however, as a broke college student every bit of money that doesn't go to rent or food goes towards tuition, so the cheaper the fix the better.
