It was actually .32oms, I just checked it. And it was on a fully charged vtc4 batt.

Well, I am an my 2nd day now... Tried freezing and rubber gloves several times but it seems that Esterigon won't let my iAtty go...
Now I have about 3 more weeks until Tilemahos claims his place.
I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles. Over the years, I've had my share of problems with sticking parts, and usually resorted to long soaks in hot water to break them lose. Remember, heat, not cold, expands the metal to break lose threads. However, I've gotten to the point where I don't need to do that anymore. I bought these from Harbor Freight: http://m.harborfreight.com/rubber-strap-wrench-set-2-pc-69373.html . Now, using a strap wrench on such a small object is not very easy and somewhat clumsy, so I didn't use them very often. But, what I ended up doing is cutting a couple small strips of the rubber belt and I use that to grip the parts when trying to break them loose. It works really well, and it's less than five bucks. Give it a try.
Ok so I am curious if anyone has tried to replace the button o-ring with a 2x1 and noticed any difference? The other day I took the o-ring off because I fidget to much and lost it. I thought no biggie I have 98762123456789 2x1 O-rings for GGTS connectors so I grabbed one and put it on. However I noticed the button doesn't sit quite so tight in the tube anymore. As in while it hasn't just fallen out it feels like it could. And if I pick up the mod by the button it will fall off (not that this is something I would do in normal operation I just tried it because I knew the old o-ring would hold under these conditions) I also noticed that the old o-ring held the spring in place when I removed the button and the new one doesn't.
I am thinking about ordering some 2x1.5 O-rings to try out but I am concerned that they won't fit in the hole since the 2x2 don't at all and the 1.8x1.8 I have laying around don't either.

The O-Ring thread says its an 2x1. I removed the O-Ring from my Esterigon and compared it to other 2x1 O-Rings - matches perfectly!
I had a problem some time ago when I played around with the parts and it looks like I didn't screw the Brass Button part into the SS/insulated part tight so it became loose and the O-Ring moved down. At that point it felt like the botton will fall out anytime soon - maybe this is happening to you?

Hi Fright , Just tried now , changed original o-ring for a new spare I bought here ( 2x1 ) and works perfectly exactly like the original one .
Be sure you tighten pin and insulator to button housing before you put the o-ring . Hope this helps
Ok so on this advice I took it apart and this is basically the problem. Only somehow a tiny bit of something got in it so it wasn't screwing down all the way. Caused the o-ring to not sit on the little ledge since it wasn't screwed in all the way.
screw with pliers the two moving pin cases Jeff. Esterigon can handle all ohms
They seem to be tight Imeo , I will have to double check and let you know. Thanks Imeo!
We always need the moving pin case to touch very well the base of the spring Jeff. That way we dont have any current loss
it wouldnt offer anything buddy. Also with springs we have the ability to make button hard or soft by changing springs or cut them or extend them
Ok people requested me to do a sonic cleaning video on esterigon. I'm almost done recording it from beginning to end. It shows the improvements and how this mod kicks ... with dual coil at .39 ohms penny dripper
That's to bad but I understand what you are saying if there is a way without to much trouble I would like to try it out ?
Hey guys, I have been out of contact for a while and I am trying to get caught up and was wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions to save me from searching through the 148 pages on this thread.
Does Imeo still plan on making electronics for the Esterigon and if so, will it be out around the same time as Proteus?
Thanks in advance.

There should be 2 regulated options for Esterigon in the future. The first would be Proteus electronics which will likely come out shortly after Proteus. More then likely this will just be an enlarged version of the Proteus button housing. The second will be VIR and that Is being worked on with no real ETA that I have heard anyways.
Proteus's electronic components will probably be ready for Esterigon after its release for Proteus. VIR seems to be a longer term solution that Imeo isn't ready to elaborate on yet
