No power. Checked it, with my wonderful ecdmeter. Did the hole adding/subtracting washers. Ugh! Hands! It was supposedly, set for AW IMR. But, one came set with a different amount of washers mounted than the other. Tried both my AW IMR's and my EFEST. I think, maybe the center pin needs adjusting. Never did that before. Not even on my ELAs.

It's funny. I spent a lifetime doing mechanical/electrical/tech fiddling. Now, with my stroke brain and hands, I have no desire! Very sad. What used to get me psyched, now just frustrates me. :(

I can't believe you've never had to adjust the center pin! That's crazy! You've never removed it to clean before?

I was out visiting my sister. She had neck surgery a few weeks ago and was feeling better so tonight as part of my tough love recovery program, I drove to her house and made her cut a cord of wood and a make 3 course dinner for me. Sure, she was swearing at me tonight but she'll thank me later when she's in the jungle and Charlie is throwing her heat.

So quiet.................................. :)

OK what did you do??? .... where did everyone go???..........

I usually have to cross the "line" .... repeatedly.... to get this kind of result... You're goooooood!


Anyway, back to your Ti.. Let's start at the bottom... Does the firing pin contact the battery when "engaged"... You should see the battery move slightly when depressed.. or feel contact at the least... I like to feel the button make contact right before button "bottoms out" You're using a button top 18490 right?
If that's all good does the top cap make contact with the battery right before the threads "seat" ???
Then move on to setting up the atty, like everyone else has suggested...What atty are you using? try one you know to work on one of you other ti's.


Oh... and I'm taking bets that I'll ONCE AGAIN be the last one to receive my Ti...

Well... it wasn't me.... this time...If your battery is set up properly, then it's most likely the center pin.
Glad you got your Ti's Today was the start of week 7 for me and......... nuthin'...
If it's anything like last time... I'll be the last person to get one....

HEADS UP!!! for Washington State folks... There's a hearing tomorrow to discuss a 95% TAX on e-cigs....
Can you believe that s**t!!!! They say it's "For the children" .........OUTRAGEOUS!!!
I just finished a letter to the legislature "sharing my feelings" about this tax...

Here's a link for you Washington types; https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2795 Let them know what you think

Random thoughts: So tonight I am playing a little Loadout, which make me laugh and when I quit, Steam popped up as it always does but this time it's showing a new to me game "Warehouse and Logistics Simulator" and I'm thinking "Who would play this?" Are there people who work in warehouses who, after a long day at the warehouse, say to themselves "Man, I'm gonna go home and play some Warehouse and Logistics Simulator to relax!"? Are there a dearth of CXO's out there who want to unwind by managing a Warehouse and Logistics Simulator? Who requested this game? Did they poll the worlds university students and discover a gap in the gaming world where students were clamoring for a forklift simulator? A company actually put time and effort into this. Were they thinking "How do we get kids excited about aiming lower?" I get flight, train, boat, sub or battle simulators. Heck, on the broad edges of my imagination I can imagine someone wanting to play a farm or truck simulation (the extreme edges) but a forklift centered Warehouse and Logistics Simulator? The world is filled with a spectrum of colors. I can't even begin to understand which color this is but if Crayola made a crayon of it, they'd name it Dull.

Again, thank you! :)
