Galileo Help

Hi everyone just want to say this seems like a great place and thanks to everyone that helps people like me out. Got my first mod the other day and I went with a Smok Galileo for my first ever mod. Got it played around for a while and noticed I had some probelms getting it to fire just figured since it was my first build it was just me. However I have now had it a few days and it seems like I am doing everything right after a lot of reading and videos but I am still havin the same firing problem. What it is doing is only firing when it wants to sometimes not at all . Other times it fires but it seems like it only 50% power. If i turn it upside down and tap on it boom full power and amazing vapor. When she is working I am in love with her but the constant no fire or half power is really getting old. For info it has a floating pin and magnetic firing. Please help I want amazing vapor 100% of the time.

I am not real familiar with this mod. Haven't even really heard too many people mention it. There are a few possibilities to trouble shoot..
  1. Have you tried changing the tank/clearo?
  2. Have you removed the clearo and found juice on the center pin?
  3. Is your clearo/tank getting proper airflow?
  4. How old is your battery?
Also, a picture of this setup would be helpful in assisting you.
 
I am using a patriot rda with 18650 batterys that are brand new. No leaking problems at all . Got a hold of a multimeter just a bit ago and Inow know 100% it is the floating center pin not making good contact with rda.Just not sure how to fix it not adjustable and pin is in a plaatic like cap. Maybe a sping inside? Just got made fun of they told me i am using a giant one hitter the way I vape then have to tap it

Okay... Take a precision screwdriver and very gently lift up on the center pin.
 
It will fail again if you sub ohm. I loved that mod until I found this out, I've emailed Smok twice but never received a reply. Love the looks of the mod, but that spring issue is a buzz kill.
 
well like btpowers said it failed again at work today which was a major bummer. However I was reading a post on reddit guy took speaker wire and kanthal wire and made his own spring . Gave it a shot and got mine going at full blast on the first try :D I am not going to complain to much seeing how I got mine fot $15 off of vaporbeast but it could use improvement on this spring issue.
