After 3 1/2 week of HEAVY use my button is getting a little sticky from pocket lint and other things getting in it. What is the best way to clean it out? I could just rinse it real good then dry it?

thanks, im working on puttin together the easiest way to clean the button. i willl get it posted here as soon as i can.
I have a few questions to those of you that have had the "Thermo" for awhile. First (really stupid here), is there anyway you can back it down to 5V??? I think 6V may be too much for me. Second, what type of atty do you use? I've been mostly dripping lately with a 510 or a 901. And last, do you use a high voltage juice?
Thanks in advance if there is any help out there.

You can knock it down to 3.7 with a different battery. I use the BE112 and an 801 right now, both are great. Smaller attys work with addapters, but 6V is just too much for them IMO.
I use the Joye 302 on the Thermo and it works great. A way to knock it down to 5v is unbeknownst to me.
damn, didnt see this post till i already typed it, hope i dont get in trouble for posting it again but heres how i did it (was written in my sp2 manual):
i ordered a sp2 initially, it came with instructions for button dis-assembly. thermo didnt for some reason, probably cause i ordered it weird.
pretty simple, take off the atty, the atty connector cap, and remove the batteries. i have penstyle attys, but i imagine this will work with any atty as long as the mouthpeice tip is firm.
you should have a tube, with the button connector still attached. take the atty, with mouthpeice attached, but Not the connector cap. set it upright on on a flat surface, so that the threads are down and mouthpeice is up.
take the tube with the button attached, line up the bottom button with the top of the cart thats attached to the atty.
give it a medium tap, not hard enough to damage it, but hard enough to get the job done. you should feel it coming apart.
now you can unscrew the button cap.
should have the button cap with threads, a spring, the white washer, and the button itself. give em a cleaning. personally, i used some oil that i oil my handgun with, not sure if thats safe or not. but i imagine any lubricant will work.
i oiled the button peice and the round part of the housing that the button slides in.
now put the button in the housing, slide the spring back on the rod part of the button and put the washer thing back on. press together so they fit nice again, and now you should have a nice clean easy to press button.
whew, hope that all made sense (very tired at the moment). might sound complicated, but its very easy once you do it your first time. if you keep your thermo in your pocket like i do, sometimes gunk will accumulate on the site of the button between the housing and button itself.
