Thanks @Silver. I will give it a try as he seems to be able to spot things from a mile off.

I think my problem may be that my spring isn't 'straight'. The battery therefore sits off centre and the button on the battery and the actual firing button 'cut' the tip.

@Reonat it looks like you push the button a little too hard love 
the copper only just needs to touch the battery, it doesn't need to be pushed down onto the battery.
what nic strength are you using at the moment? You might be needing higher nic to get the hit you crave?
Do you find yourself pushing the button harder to try get a more satisfying hit?

I hear you but not sure it's that. I am on 9mg and some 12mg. The pics are deceiving because the delrin part and button top is missing. If I test without the delrin cover it fires without me even pressing the button. If pressing too hard was the issue surely it would be more commonplace? It's the 2nd time it's happened to me.@Reonat it looks like you push the button a little too hard love

Thanks @MarkK I may well be a button masher but am going to mail my pics to Rob at Reos mods anyway just to check. So often I mindlessly vape so who knows but really want to avoid a recurrence as new toolkits every 2 weeks is going to cost me a fortune.Fair enough @Reonat it may be an alignment issue from your spring as you mentioned.
It sounds like one of the guys near you should get it in their hands and just check how everything moves
Good luck! hopefully its quickly solved

I have emailed him. I will be devastated if I am merely a masher

Wonder woman strength!
Hi @Reonat
I assume Rob said you were pressing too hard?
When you press the button, the battery shouldnt move down and compress the spring more
You should only press enough to make contact, maybe a tiny bit more, but not enough to move the battery
I use a button top battery in my Mini and a flat top in the Grand
With the button top battery you actually only press the fire button a tiny bit until it makes contact. With the flat top battery you press it down a little further.
I would imagine that depending on alignment the button top may actually be more harmful if you press too hard than with a flat top battery. Dont know this for sure, but suspect that.
Maybe try get a flat top battery as well.

Yep.. He did say that. I am definitely going to get flat top batteries as I think that the buttom just makes the longer term outcome a little worse as in my case.

Its actually ironic that the original Reo was built for button top batts
Then with the new subohm kit, flat tops also work
Some Reonauts prefer the button tops still because its less travel to make contact. Some even think that the less travel is better for the longevity of the firing mechanism because it travels less. Im really not sure.

I think having smaller hands causes you to press hard as your thumb is sort of hanging on for dear life....
