Anybody else have a crunchy firing button on the Infinite Stingray? If so, any suggestions on how to remedy? Also the bottom portion of the button has a slight rattle, as if the parts aren't fitting snugly together inside the switch. That's my theory anyway. I've taken the switch completely apart, soaked in iso alcohol, and thoroughly cleaned everything with a toothbrush, but that didn't help. I love the mod, it works fine, and never really misfires. But that crunchiness is annoying.

My copper stingray had a bad button still does but not as bad mine
Came with magnets nd there is a little brass i think metal part that falls out ps be careful wen u dissemble the button and i got a tip to use a drillbit and widen just a lil the hole where the metal part sits and it helped alot and then just reassemble

mine is ok, but i do use a 18490 in 18500 configuration (shorter throw) if i use a 18500, it will get crunchy
Yes i have a feeling that part with the small metal pin and where it sits is part of the problem. Thanks! I might try to widen it a little bit. Do you remember what size drillbit you used?
Go to Radio Shack or equivalent and buy a can of Control/Contact Cleaner & Lubricant. Take off the button and with the supplied tube nozzle, blow it into a vent hole. Careful as it comes out of the can with a fair amount of pressure. I had to do this today and now it works better than it ever has. Added bonus: when you get done wiping off the excess, the polished SS on the button is pretty damn shiny.

I just used a tiny bit of grease to smoothen out the switch. Also shorten its throw as much as you can.
If your pin doesn't seem the right size you can always take wire cutters to a coat hanger. Helped alot of nemmy users over time I've heard lol

noalox is garbage use a product called" no-ox a special" its actually electrically conductive and a anti corrosive. Use it where the switch plunger slides through the switch body and where the pins screw into the switch and the top cap. noalox is just popular because its easy to get avoid it get the NO-OX A SPECIAL there is no substitute also clean your threads on the tubes and apply sparingly being electrically conductive it can cause a short if too much is applied in the wrong areas like actual switch to battery contacts just a film of it will do..
Got mine today and had to switch the rice pin from my Nemmy over to my stingray to get it to fire. My nemmy now has the rice pin from the stingray and it works just fine
The crunchy button is coming from the rice pin in the firing button. The problem is the rice pin is too short. I made a longer rice pin out of a tooth pick and my button couch is gone. I also had threads exposed on the firing button when in 18650 mode after I installed my homemade rice pin fix I noticed that my threads are no longer exposed and the throw is really short. I'm now happy with the stingray.
