OK, calling all Ody pros....
Mine works just fine, albeit I'm using mini vivis because that's all I have for the most part. The problem lies with a hot switch. Now, I don't mean warm as in hand warm or current flowing warm, I mean hot almost burning hot, hot.
Not exactly being new to the forum, I checked in the GGST areas for hot switch topics and the general consensus was that if your switch is hot, your atty has a short. OK.... My mini has a short.
But - it doesn't have a short on my ego or on my meter, it just has a short on my new toy. And it's just the minis that have been rebuilt - the stock heads don't heat up at all. BTW, the phoenix clone doesn't heat up either but then I haven't rebuilt that one.
The problem has to lie somewhere in the coil but for the life of me I can't see where. If it were a hard short, it would simply shut down the ego (or the Indulgence V4) - I had one short out and it did the same thing twice until I figured out what was wrong. It didn't kill the battery, it simply reset it to the off position (where you have to press 4 or 5 times to turn it back on). The
coils that are hot are working just fine on both ego and v4. On the CCTS the switch gets melty hot.....
Oh yeah, the head that shorted out metered fine but when a charge was added, it expanded just enough that it pressed back and touched the side of the wall enough to cause the short - there had to be heat before it would short so that's why the meter wasn't detecting the short in pre-tests.....
This isn't a problem with "one" head. This is every rebuilt head I have. Sometimes they seem to work fine for a while but, eventually, they'll start to heat the button and continue to do so until I have to take them off/swap them out or replace with an unmodified head.
So, with all of the expertise around here, can someone please come up with a solution for me. I'd like to be able to use my rebuilt heads mostly because I'm cheap and poor and don't want to have to
buy heads (or rather, explain to SWMBO why I need to
buy more "stuff").
