After some use of Esterigon I notice that it has a very small voltage drop. I dont know what voltage drop other mods have but the average on esterigon is a 0,2-0,25 drop at 1 ohm resistance. Thats a really impressive voltage drop but it requires daily cleaning of the pin of the button. I also notice that the 2 contacts that are waiting for the pin of the button to touch them dont get dirty. The one that gets dirty is the pin.

The best way to clean the pin is not a polish cream and not a sandpaper for several reasons. The best way is to use SS mesh. Its quick, keeps pin shiny, doesnt mess your hands like polish cream does and removes dirt extremely well. The procedure lasts for 10 seconds and keeps your esterigon new.

You are right UT. The biggest issue with mech mods is the cleaning. If cleaning is difficult then you cant really vape on a mod like this. You will put it aside very soon On Esterigon the cleaning can be made by pulling out the putton. You need about 1,5 second to do that! Also the [parts that you need to clean are not small. Its a big enough button that you clean it without dissasembling anything and you push it back to its tube. Its even easier than GGTS and justGG where is was very easy either
the others mod what have a switch like a esterigon (for example roller, dingo by atmizoo) not only have a voltage drop but also need cleaning daily,
but these mods are very difficult to dissemble switch parts. :(

so esterigon has big innovation and user friendly !!

I have thought if this too JM, thanks a lot for posting this. I have thought a lot more than this design but the best is what I made and I will tell you why.

The curved surface of your pin touches first the one of the pins that are waiting to be touched. Your curved surface cant slip on the pin (that has a curved surface too). If it cant slip then it will no be able to move right or left even a little and it will not touch the other pin that is waiting.:)

The other design that I had thought is a surface of the pins (that are waiting to be touched) like a horseshoe. The 2 pins that are like a horseshoe leave a hole between them, something like this:

this design would work well but it has 2 issues. The one is that you have to be careful to put the "waiting" pins in the right position on button's tube and the other issue is that you wouldnt be able to clean the inside surfaces on them (where the moving pin will touch them).

Be sure that I had thought of everything to make esterigon the best performer and the most user friendly device ever made

Aha ... yes you are right ! due to needed tolerance for removable user friendly pins , which I agree is very important . No doubts that yo are the father of the creature. You are good !!! and those numbers you are sharing about voltage drop are very close to perfect, thougt...

Thanks again .....

anything that keeps shiny the pin will work op. We need something that will not make pin blur like a sandpaper will do.
Plastic pad is for light situations. If your pin is very dirty, you need the mesh
Would a plastic scouring pad work as well?

I see that you remember buddy. Great. Mesh does an exellent job and I use it daily on my contacts
I clean my devices contacts with mesh since you made experiments with mesh sometimes ago and dropped a note about its cleaning capabilities either in the forums or in a video - works like a charm and a little piece of mesh is always with me... :)

I'll be ordering some mesh as well . I never used before , so I have to buy now .
I used to polish with special pads for polishing crafts , called ;" micro mesh" . special aluminum oxide sanding pads , biggest grain is 1000 grit and goes in scale up to 12000 grit giving a mirror finish to most materials . But this Imeo suggested , SS 400 mesh seems effective and cheap so i will definitely try .

I would add also , avoid touching contact points with hands after polishing , body oil can interfere in conductivity as well . If touched, just clean contact points with alcohol after all done .
