Good luck with your home chemistry projects.

7.4 Volts is too much for these units. Will burn out with prolonged use at that level. Would likely work for a while but there will be element damage (de-formations) fairly quick.So any try overdriving the Revolution or Evolution at 7.4? They dont seem to function well with the Cr123a batts from delta9 on persei. So weak..

Can't believe I overlooked that too! If you throw it in your pocket like I do, you'll notice that it starts to get hard to slide it, or hard to make full contact, because of the debris that may get inside or build up between the sleeves. Easily remedied by taking the switch off and wiping the sleeve/inside of the outer body with my shirt.
i have had the same problem w/ all three of my TV devices. i just remove the o-ring.Hey it's me again.
I've finally tried removing the o-ring from the switch, and it seems to work much better, but still not 100% (and now the switch can fall out when swapping batteries).
When I seat the o-ring all the way down, and then press the switch in place, once I let go the o-ring presses the switch out a few centimeters (can visibly see it being press back out). With the o-ring present, it's pretty hard to press the switch up to activate, and certainly tiring to hold it on for long periods of time.
Without the o-ring everything feels better, but I still randomly run into that switch or connection issue where the unit just won't heat up. Sometimes I don't do anything and it works 5 minutes later, sometimes I do a complete unassembly and reassembly and it still won't work.
It's frustrating because it's not consistent. When it works, I love thing thing. Perfect for so many scenarios. But without it being reliable it really makes it hard to enjoy. I find myself fighting with the switch and wondering why it's not heating, and especially frustrating when trying to show friends.
I guess my main question is if anyone else encounters anything similar to this, and if it was a switch issue, trouble with the o-ring assembly process, or anything else I can do to make this work more reliably? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, however not confirmed as for Hawper's unit but IMO definitely a simple thing to try.Great catch Pipes! This is, I think, the third such unit fixed this way? I think it goes on the official 'try this first list' at this point, don't you? I wonder if it's skin oils that are attracting stuff? Whatever, 'clean the battery tube and inside of the sleeve' belongs on the hot tips list.....

Seems the main actual contact is around the bottom of sleeve where there is a cap of sorts.
The indicator is improvement while twisting the sleeve. Means clean me...
If switch rest position is the problem then as Bob states, removing the O ring should solve it. Indicating something else is a little out.
Is there any way to check if it IS in fact the core or a switch issue?
In terms of cleaning all I've done is soak in 99% ISO in a ziploc and shake. Then rinse under hot water. Is this the correct procedure?
I'm betting it is an intermediate switch issue.
I would guess the core isn't the issue as you have gotten it to heat up. I would contact sales@thermovape.com to see if they can send you out a new switch.
While I agree trying a new switch seems like a good call at this point, I suspect you meant intermittent switch issue? Intermediate is kind of subjective, I bet the OP doesn't see anything minor with this problem....
I think there's an ohm meter somewhere around here. Would checking with that allow me to see if it is in fact the battery?
Edit: Okay, just found the manual for the Mutlimeter on the site above. Reading through it and now I get it (this one isn't automatic range, etc). I'll have to do some more reading and then probe around a bit to report back with findings.
