cone shaped but the one with fat head? The last spring that all GGTB have is the one that its biggest diameter is at 8mm. If you want it you can ask one of my sellers to send it for free to you Ed. Thats my policy for springs

there's a free spring policy? for bottom and battery springs on any GG?
My spring is from second batch GGTB,note: I cut 2 0r 3 turns off mine as IMO it fit better all battery combinations I stress its just my opinion YMMV.This is a very strong spring made from spring steel so it wont collapse easily anyway here's some pics that may help.
The spring cut down,
How it sits in its post and what coils are above,
two RCR123 in place note the thread showing inside the GGTB,get your spring like this and you wont have a problem with any battery and it wont collapse BTW there's no rattle at all once caps are on, both caps will close fully too.

I was just out at their web site and see no springs as of yet. Will Clouds Of Vapor be getting the springs in the shipment that is held in customs.
the spring shown in the pictures aboe is not the one I have in any of my GGTB's. It looks much better.
it looks like johnuk's spring, was a type 5, same as the ones most of us probably have:
but there was a much narrower and more springy spring on the first batch. jdvorr, which ones do you have and, if more than one type, have you noticed any different outcome with one over the other?

smokie, I made the springs. When I say that I make them I mean that I design them and a machine makes them for me. I cant make springs of course. I dont mod them they come ready as I order them.
Those springs are steel and there is no better quality smokie. My quality is the best on all GG products. As for the tension, a spring at 0,6mm width has the right tension. A stronger one will bring you broblems with the back cap when you will try to screw it on the GG body.
You have to buy everything from the US seller smokie. The other suppliers will serve the rest of the world.
John has not the latest spring, BuGG has it.

Imeo can you please list the other suppliers that will send us out replacement springs as stated for free?? I would like to contact them to replace both failed springs in both of my GGTB's

The policy for springs is that every person can have one new spring everytime I release a new one. For the persons that have a melted new spring the charge is the usual. But they are very cheap guys so when you make an order better to buy 2-3 together to save postage and time

the pictured springs don't look like the ones i have mine look much thinner and batteries rattles some
New spring is hard but soft enough to work like a fuse. Its 0,6 mm in width and fits all batteries because its long too.
John, yes the second batch that was again only a few GGTBs have your spring. But the big batch of 750 units that I made lately have the cone spring that BuGG post here

Smokie, is there any way that you can buy or mod a spring from a store locally until Imeo's shipment gets released from customs or until he's able to send more? I'm not mechanically inclined, but maybe there's a local answer to your problem that might help you out for a bit.
smokie;
Clouds of Vapor has not received the shipment yet. I did see some small springs in the plumbing section this morning in the hardware store. They were with the o-rings, which is what I was looking at. The springs did come with two little rubber things that you don't need, but the spring looked to be about the right size. In the alternative, and not saying this is a good idea, imeo will probably want to strangle me for saying this, you could fashion an emergency disposable one from aluminum foil.
Keep in mind, these are just emergency suggestions, not permanent. We have to wait until COV gets the shipment to order the permanent pieces.

Thank you for your idea, but I was waiting for Imeo's response since my money went in his pocket. I should not have to find a remedy, or have to Mod a spring, this is a Brand New Mod. Since we are on the subject of GGTB springs the button spring is also GARBAGE, but I knew that before buying, and I did spend the extra money for the replacement magnets. Now without these replacement magnets the Mod DOES NOT activate all the time, had a lot of misfires.
I understand your frustration smokie. I just try to keep in mind that springs are not going to last forever and I will need to replace them from time to time. Even if they are the giant ones used for those big machines they wear out rather quickly.
My AFS pushed the positive pin and black insulation out of my GGTB stripping the threads caused a short and melted my spring , I tried to order new parts and included a photo of the damage ..got no reply.. my AFS is staying on my GGTS and the TB is in pieces
