Kindred V2 hot fire button occasionally, how as it is magnetic?

I was wrong about that, the middle just gets a bit hot where the sides spark, the heat is mainly concentrated at the edge of the firing button where the button slides against the outside wall of the mech, which is part of the reverse locking ring. [

Then the poor conductivity patch is on the side. If it heats the conductivity is bad.

Oh I see, I am very confused as it is advertised as having a magnetic firing switch, which made me confused when I saw the spring upon taking it apart.
So the spring is part of the circuit on this mech then? As far as I can work out from looking at the switch the magnets are for what gives the fire button its action, not sure what the spring is for as it is very, very soft, a lot softer than pressing the button. You can just hold it between fingers and thumb and it will squeeze together with no effort needed.

There is 1 or 2 springs generally. One spring is for the battery holder, one for the button. If the battery holder IS the case (as is the case for a lot of tube mechs) it’s 1 or 0.

I didn't know this, so seeing a spark is not a sign of immediate danger? Where I have never seen any of my other mechs in the collection spark around the fire button like this is the reason I pulled the battery until I get the issue figured out.

Yep. When electrically charged metal comes near other electrically charged metal the electricity will bridge the gap first. How far it has to jump is the size of the spark. If it’s long enough (like with Tesla stuff) they call it “lightning”

Yes, this is the professor. The image I linked is from recent research that will be published soon.

I cleaned out a drawer where I keep some coils and overflow vaping stuff. I found about 15 mods I forgot about. It’s funny how you just have to have a certain mod then it ends up collecting dust.

That’s why I’m selling all the ones I don’t use anymore!
