Staple Mod - Filling The Center Conductor Gap On Penstyle Atomizers

[Cellmeister]

I suggest trying this with copper or brass wire instead of a steel staple. I'm concerned about wear on the fitting and it seems that copper or brass would make an even better connection with less wear.

Just cut a tiny piece of solid copper wire like telephone wire and bend it....

Great Mod breakfastchef, the step by step pics were great to have. Thank you, I will keep it in mind in case I need it in the future.

Thanks i used this trick for my VX2 aka L88b aka j118 the battery connection is a little to short and wouldnt connect to the atomizer. Everything works great now and i have my spare battery back oh ya i used a small piece of solid copper wire not a staple but its bent in the same way and copper is a better conductor

Seems like a really good idea, I think i will try thin non braided copper wire first since it conducts better. And i can afford to play around with gold . Staples also come in different types, some are stainless for outdoor use others are made of cheaper metals.

Something i forgot to add, different metals do not react with each other in a good way. It's called electrolysis where they react with each other if they are different, I know this from working on copper sprinkler systems and people would use galvanized metal as a shim to prop up a pipe and eventually the pipe would fail and leak because it would eat away at it after a few years. Oh and i meant i can't afford to mess with gold, that is pretty much inert and doesn't react with anything but probably too soft to work with.

An ideal I will try is copper and shape it with a V to insert and on top shape a round contact small enough so it doesn't extent past the pad, if it works i will post pics when then let me.

Great Idea for a quick test!
