Fun things to do on a covid Saturday night....
Having recently reviewed this entire thread, yes my eyes are tired, I noticed quite a few TM owners discussing the often difficult TIMING of the ON/OFF button sequence. While 3-5 clicks to POWER ON a device is pretty standard on most ECig mods, the TM has a QUICK - FAST in a row type sequence, (maybe for added pocket carry safety).
But like many, it’s sometimes hit or miss just turning it ON. No it’s NOT a big deal, just something extra I have to think about, fine... but after the first hit, and I turn it off, next time on cloud nine, my brain forgets..
DISCOVERY, perhaps, the following is written under the assumption that ALL the ON/OFF buttons are programmed and behave the same way.
I stared playing with the button sequences, in terms of TIMING, hoping to beat the game. I’m now confident enough after duplicating the following technique.
It’s always 3 - CLICKS
but instead of starting with a FAST click and quickly continuing the next two,
TRY, just a normal-slow FIRST CLICK, a beat (no rush anymore), then the final two, fairly quickly back to back.
Doing it this way, I haven’t once failed in a first attempt. I guess the 3 fast clicks can confuse the unit.
SEQUENCE PRESSING: #1— #2 #3
NOTE: There is one odd behavior using the click technique, I can make it work 100% of the time, when unit is OFF, turn it ON, then if I immediately turn it back OFF, sequence works BOTH ON/OFF.
The ONLY time I had to revert the the QUICK-FAST 3-clicks, is after taking a hit. I thought it might be the heat, so I let it sit a few minutes, but I still had to do the old, 3 fast clicks to turn it off.
I’m sure the wordy essay makes it appear complicated, but the next time you’re using your TM, give the slow, deliberate first click, pause, next two, a try. In the end for me, just reduces one more thing to think about...
