The spring is part of the electrical circuit( for me at least). The main point for the spring for me is to stop the misfires. The misfires occur because the button, when pressed, doesnt always come in contact with the interior wall of the switch housing. Therefore the circuit doesnt complete...
Received my olympus attys today. Better than the spheroid, and one of the best gen atties I have. When the clear tanks are released, I wont have any negatives for genny mode. Im happy I purchased them when I did.
Top and bottom you can see where I placed the grommets. The washer at the top sits in the bottom of the white delrin cup and doesnt actually make contact with the spring as can be seen in the second pic. The spring is from altsmoke which has been cut in half and rewound.
