I'm sure I'm doing something very stupid with the SnP, since others seem to be getting this just fine. So, being a typical stubborn Greek, I just ordered about a kilogram of the little Viton O-rings, and I'll probably spend the following weekend bringing this SnP to heel.

No, it is not common that. Send us an email.

Mine switch behaves exactly the same. I did not have time to disassemble it and check what is the issue, but I will also send you an email Perseas.

I'd be glad to fix yours also buddy.

From version 2.1 and up all of our mods have a margin of error 0,05 mm in their mechanics and it very easy something to happen from time to time. For that reason, we are ready to fix it.

Share with us my fellow Hellene what is wrong with your SnP. Maybe it is our fault, not yours.

the switch that was on my lux was sticking at first too. it was firing actually without pressing the switch
so i just took it apart and reassembled the switch assembly. its working good so far

now time to work on my SnP

Thank you Perseas, really appreciate ! Just a quick update - took the switch apart, assembled it again and it's waaaay better ! I'd say the issue is gone. I will clean it properly as soon when I have some time and in case it will happen again, I'll let you know. But I feel it won't be necessary. Thank you !

That would be a first! I have a pack of 50 O-rings coming in, I will keep trying at it and if I can't figure it out, I'll get back to you.

Every problem I've had with high-end equipment and methods has ended up taking practice or figuring out what I was doing wrong.

kayfun 3.1: Leak after leal after leak. Finally figure out how to fill it properly, and now it never ever leaks.

Zapper: in the beginning, almost all my welds wouldn't hold. After about 30 R/NR wires, I am now at over 90% success rate.

Scuba Diver: Took a few attempts, but now I have the Diver behaving near perfectly, no more leaking out of the Diver post.

GP Paps Lux: I couldn't figure out why it had stopped working, took it apart twice, until I realized the bloody battery had run out while turning my apartment into a Vapor Storage Facility.

And if I can't figure it out, I'll buy you lunch when I'm working from Athens later this year, and we can figure it out together!

 

[Idaholandho]

Holy cow brother! But, it seems you always figure it out and do not give up. You will laugh when you get it figured out.
We will all have lunch. When my doctors let me go here and after my family in Italy has enough of me, I am still going to bug Perseas for a few until he kicks my ....

You're welcome, I am a pm or email away, just in case the fix is temporary.

I want you to have it working much sooner, and I'd be nice to see you in Athens.

You dont really have to worry about the gold coming off, thats going to happen eventually as gold is very soft, the good news is that there is silver under there and brass under that, which silver is actually a better conductor than gold, if it all wears off then you still have a brass contact which is plenty good on its own. I think perseas is being really nice (as usual) to replace the ones where they have worn a little bit but most of this is user error imo, as I said gold is very soft and is going to eventually come off if you keep cranking it down onto your atty, and I have a feeling the switch issues would be gone after a good disassembly and cleaning or working it a bit. That said I dont know any other modder who would have replaced those or treats their customers like perseas and the gp crew does.

Well said. Couldn't agree more !

 

[Idaholandho]

Got my new Killer 705 today...gonna put it to the test tonight with SnP.

 

[qorax]

Besides Todd anybody else tried and is OK with just the Kanthal on Diver (w/out the NR wire)?

 

[kiba]

i wouldnt use it without the nr wire, i dont have a diver but on the oddy/penny/ithaka that would be bad.

Why? And how bad?

 

[Idaholandho]

I wouldn't either. To easy to make the correct wire. It will get shti hot real fast and could cause harm to setup. Not real safe, not the way A wants them used. I kinda stopped with oddta's videos.
