My Just GG has started to misfire...A LOT! I think in need to clean the brass contacts. What is the best way to do this and what should I use??

for best performance, clean, AND polish all of your contacts including all tube threads. Make sure you do the same for all button parts too including the inside wall. Toothpaste and a toothbrush work great if you don't have any polish. I use Mothers Aluminum polish as well as Sharkhide Metal Polish.
Do this on a regular basis depending on usage and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes.

Is it important to clean the internal of the button as it has very limited exposure? I really dislike disassembling it.
you can use a clean pencil eraser as well. also a pencil eraser fits perfectly in the 510 connection for cleaning as well

it may also be not that its dirty but may need a small calibration on switch. the pin may not be touching far down enough to the cap.
Yes it is important - even the spring needs cleaned - for main body of button after polishing, just stick a doubled up pipe cleaner down it, drys it quickly.
Clean, shiny contacts and threads make for a hard hitting JGG - at least weekly the contacts should be polished, with JGG it takes less than 3 minutes without doing the button, so it doesnt take that long. My button is cleaned at least once a week.
I was having problems just this morning with my stealth misfiring. My pin and the post both had oxidation on it and I didn't have the time to take it apart and clean the whole thing(which it needs). I just did a fast swipe with sharkhide on the pin head and post and it's back to firing fine now.
The only thing you have to do once per 1-2 weeks is to clean the venting's cap axis and the button's pin as house said greghemmings. What other friends suggest must be done once per 2 months maybe
Do you use actual polish on the contacts?
I use tooth paste and clean all contacts, and then every now and then an ultra sonic for the stainless steel parts. Didn't know about using polish on the contact parts as well.

yes, polishing cream long. Its the best of all other methods except the dirt is small
yes long, including the tube threads.
Toothpaste works good but polish is better. Or better yet polish first then follow up with toothpaste and toothbrush to make sure you've removed any residual polish from the threads.
I've easily improved the voltage drop by .2v or better by polishing.

Sounds good, thanks. I have flitz which I use for polishing, so should do the job.
The 0.2V difference is pretty significant.
Well I don't have polish right now so toothpaste will have to do. Thank's for all the info guys.

So I polished the contacts on both ggts and just gg.
I didn't polish the contact point that touches the atomizer positive post. I figure next time I polish the contacts I will but will wash them after.
Do people usually wash the contacts after polishing in case of residue and vaping? Primarily thinking the contact that touches the positive post of the atomizer would be the only thing that would need washed if polished.

All parts, or only the part that touches the positive post?
Just want to make sure since I have been vaping on the ggts.

Much appreciated all. Going back through witha quick polish on the pieces and then a wash.
That didn't go so well. I ended up losing the brass pin of my button down the drain....
What's worse they're out of stock on e-smokeguru. Thankfully I have an old spare from my old GGTS but.....
