I found my in my spring draw, over the years I've collected an assortment. You can take one from an old flashlight but they won't be copper. A nice plated spring will do. Altsmoke looks good: http://altsmoke.com/starterkit/silverbulletusa/sbhotspring.html

Thanks for your help breaktru. I have a small collection of old battery springs myself but no copper or plated. Do you think it would make a difference in a mod to change the battery spring from nickel plated to copper? The Altsmoke spring says its lower resistance but will it make a difference?
If the thickness of the spring is not too thin, like the hair-thin spring I received with my indulgence, it should be fine. If using a non copper or non plated, make sure the spring diameter is thick enough. I've used steel springs. I file both ends for better conductivity. Of course copper is better.
Just receive 2 copper springs from AltSmoke, made for the SilverBullet and I think it made a difference. It seems like I'm getting more vapor.
That's good to know, breaktru. I was just wondering the same thing just in case I need to replace the spring in my Indulgence.
Ha first thing I did when I got my indulgence was cut up an old copper flashlight spring and made two springs one for the 18650 and one for the 16340 adjusted for height just eaiser screwing the switch on I use forcepts from my fly pack to change the spring
That was the first thing I replace in my Indulgence V2 was the Hot Spring. It is definitely an inferior spring. I have shelved the whole PV after a complete rebuild.
I'm really enjoying mine so far and I also have a Chameleon. I bought the Indulgence so my fiance could try it and see if he liked it. Not only is he still on the fence, he's been using the Chameleon because he likes the way it feels better!
Looks like I need to order a couple springs for my RoughStack. Thanks again for your input Breaktru.
