Electric Angel Rebuild

[FrankLantern]

I have an Electric Angel and it's not doing so well. If I swap the Z Atty over to the Provari it vapes fine so I am fairly sure the EA just isn't kicking down the voltage.

The pin on the cap on the negative terminal is loose.

I searched for a bit but didn't see any sites or places to get parts.

I thought I would buff the parts down but the loose pin makes me wonder if that would just be a waste of time. The EA is not that old. Maybe 4-5 months.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Where did you get it???

I had an EA mod for quite a while, and I found it to be finicky. Go pick up some Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish, and polish up all the brass (top pin, bottom pin, and the button). Don't worry that the bottom pin is loose, it will be held in place when the whole mod is tightened down.

You can also use sandpaper and buff all contact points, but it's hard to predict where the button will meet the bottom pin, so I always just polished everything. Plus, the brass looks so pretty when it's polished.

This should solve the problems. You should do this regularly to keep the brass clean anyway, as oxidation on brass is a terrible conductor.

Thanks Richard. I failed to consider that the pin would be tightened down. I will clean it up and give it a go.
