Firing pin shooting sparks

[Joka]

This is actually very scary I know how important battery safety is. I came home last night and tossed a battery in, slid the door and walked thru the house vaping, but I felt really weak...fully charged 4.2v 30a orbotronic battery. I took the door off, and as they contact spark spark. It left this black spot on my batteries...I've over looked something I must have...any help would be appreciated or its gonna be shelved and collect dust

Id make sure the firing pin isnt all gunked up. the pointy tip. Have you filed it some and tried it again and used nolaox?

 

[redeyedancer]

Your contact is oxidized please watch the video .
Clean it really good apply noalox the sparking will stop

 

[Joka]

So just give it a good clean and noalox it up? I clean and do this often but I've never seen sparks lol ill give this another good cleaning then. Do I need to sand or file it any? I never have I figured over time small sanding would just make it smaller and smaller

Yes, you need to give it a light sanding.. Like the video shows.. That metal is hard, you arent going to destroy it. Need to get the oxidation off with a file..

Try putting a dab of noalox on the positive of the battery too if you don't. Then when you switch just wipe it off with your finger and wipe it onto your next. I haven't had any sparking since I started doing that.

Ditto. I'd sooner leave the house with an empty juice bottle than an un-greased nipple.

If the op checks back on this thread I think the main thing you need to know is that if you are sub ohming you need to file and noalox your firing pin at least once a week.

Flat or nipple top? I get a lot more arcing (sparks) with flat tops and stopped using them until the SO kit comes out because of it. If they are nipple tops, you must have a really dirty firing pin...that I see you have since fixed.

 

[Joka]

It was both lol
