    I've only had the Elite for a week, but I have not gotten a hot button with or without the spring. I'd clean the contacts and pull the battery spring up a little bit to make it stiffer. It might have compressed and is fugging up the connection.

    Thank you. I will give that a shot with the wire rope. Which diameter wire rope would fit in the Elite's wick?

    TheJack you all good over there or is your button still heating up? Thanks for breaking down the button assembly. I hadn't gone that far and I wondered what it looked like in there. I'm guessing you were one of those kids who took their toys apart.:)

    Ok I get it. Keeps you from having shorts between the coils and mesh. Slick idea. I might give that a shot with some SS cable. Does it taste funky? Excuse me if I'm jacking the thread with a wick question.

    Right. No matter how you get there, solid brass or gold contacts throughout will make most any devise stand up. Just a brass screw will do the trick. Springs are great if you like misfires, twitchy buttons and voltage drops in you mods. I really like the Elite. It just needed a tweak or two to...

    3/8" is what I used, but I had to take a bit off in length and diameter. The 1/4" would be about perfect. Leather craft or tack stores would also be a place to look for them.

    Really nice. I like the brushed look a lot. Thanks for test piloting the oven cleaner. I wouldn't have had the stones to try that without seeing it first.

    They are called Chicago Screws. Ace has them among the small bits. No misfires or voltage drops that I get with springs in my devices.

    No worries. I popped the spring out. It is just pressed in to the white Delrin plastic piece. I then pressed in a threaded brass fitting with an adjustable brass screw. That way it can accommodate different sized batteries, ect. You press the button, spring loaded firing pin hits the brass...

    The top deck of the Elite is anodized. The negative post hole is anodized as well. I screwed the negative post in and out several times to remove the anodizing on the threads and get the contact metal to metal. I fixed this and replaced the bottom spring at the switch with a brass contact. That...

    SmokTech The Natural - New mechanical device

    The white nylon disk just unscrews from the tube from the top. I used a bent paperclip through one of the vent holes in the disk to wind it out. Gives you a little more room with it out to work on that switch nut.

    Just order the AGA Tiamat plus

    That is a cool thing about RBAs they are pretty reliable....once you have your technique down you don't have to fiddle with it unless you want to. I can go weeks on the same set up. Lots of room to experiment to achieve the perfect vape with RBAs.

    You folks will be up and running in no time with all the videos and how to's on here. Worth the effort.

    Smoktech Telescope or Natural

    You really cant go wrong with either one for the money. Both perform really well. I prefer the Natural's button and clean lines. Unless they've changed it, the Telescopes bottom button felt wrong to me...and I like bottom button mods.

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    Thanks folks. The dental floss did the trick. I was concerned before about it popping off in my pocket. All good now.

    Has anyone tried the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank

    Ideas on how can I tighten up the top cap? It comes off to easily. Slightly fatter o-rings? I have the version with the white silicone tank gasket.

    Okay I now have the AGA Tiamat PLUS w/Glass Tank . . . say what?????

    Do you have another devise you can try it on to work out the short? The Provari is kinda particular with Genesis attys. Sounds like you are real close to having it right. I'd pulse it and tweak the coils slightly wet...let the juice burn off and kind of season the mesh and coils. This gets rid...

    All good. Mesh, hemp, silica, pyrex tubing, ceramic...so many ways to get it going. Just keep having fun with experimenting and you'll find something that suits you.
