Cas Walker Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I've been using my Rebel DNA75C 21700 for two months expecting the buttons would eventually loosen up. They have not. All 4 buttons are as difficult to press today as they were when it arrived. I don't see any places where buttons are rubbing on the case openings, there's a bit of gap all around all four. But they all require more than twice as much force as the buttons on my Mirage. I'm wondering if the switches on the DNA board Rebel installed might be different/stiffer than the ones used on the Mirage. Vendor Esauce didn't respond after asking for pictures. I'd appreciate any advice on fixing this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retird Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Sounds like a design (mod) issue rather than a DNA board issue..... but you might mention it to Evolv and see what they say.... let us know what you find out.... https://helpdesk.evolvapor.com/index.php?a=add&category=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimWiseman9000 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I have a Rebel vape 250c dual 18650 device and the buttons are exactly the same stiff as hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx'd Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 I bet there is some kind of foam or something behind the buttons causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The buttons do feel like that could be so. But looking thru the gaps around the buttons I can see green circuit board directly beneath them. If there was some intermediate material back there I would be seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think jinx'd is possibly correct even though it can't be seen. I can see why you have an issue because yep all the buttons are stiff but then i actually like the stiff buttons so it's just preference . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Walker Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thank you TimW, Your comment reset my expectations. My fingers are getting stronger as I continue to use this Rebel mod. I call it my F'ingRebel. It continues to be annoying to use but seems extraordinarily safe from inadvertent button presses.
