[HELP NEEDED] Panzer Mod Firing Button Un Screws on Lock/Unlock

[dannyboy42670]

Basically, please take the time to watch the video so I can explain my issue.

In words, the firing button and the contact pin screw themselves into eachother, but during usage, after 5 or 6 locks/ unlocks the firing pin un screws itself, making me have to take the battery out and screw the pin back in in order to keep vaping. If it gets looser and looser, eventually the firing button falls out. Very annoying and can't figure out a fix.

Had the same problem with my Lbaloi... two things that come to mind to fix it: you can try a small piece of tape in the threads, or do what I did... put one small drop of loctite on the threads and put them back together... makes it a pain to take apart, but unless the spring breaks, you shouldn't have to take the fire button apart anyway...

Quickest fix attempt would be to apply some dental floss or tape (mentioned above, do not add too much as it may effect continuity in the switch) to the threads of the buttons shaft, then hold it there while you screw it back together, hopefully apply a bit of a "bind" to the pieces making them less likely to unscrew.

The best semi-permanent fix would be to buy some conductive locktite and apply it to the threads, then reassemble/allow to dry. Only problem with this method is if you want to disassemble the switch again you'll have to break the locktite free, but it should stop the unscrewing.

Conductive loctite?
You, sir, have now peaked my interest... I knew there were different strengths of loctite, but I am unaware of their conductive properties... I must now research this!!

loctite 3888

Thank you, sir... I'll have to look for that one... gonna start working on my home-made mech mod soon!

Is the dental floss dangerous in any way? Also, what loctite?

Can't really see any way it could be dangerous, its not gonna catch fire or something like that, if that's what you mean.

You could probably use regular 242 loctite but you'll probably only want to use a drop or two (even spaced) to prevent any issues with continuity. Or you can order/try to track down the conductive loctite 3888 (or similar) i mentioned above and apply it liberally since it won't effect the continuity.

Do you think they sell loctite at home depot or Lowes? HAH

 

[Bunnykiller]

locktite can be found at home depot lowes and auto parts even your local hardware store should have it

but what I did was to take a small screw driver and "ding" the threads lightly ( just enuf to make a small dent) which deforms the threads a tad as to when it is reassembled the bent threads bite firmly when inserted.

Make sure its the blue threadlocker, not the red. If you use the red it will be a pain if you ever need to take it apart again. That stuff is "super" threadlocker.

I used a very small piece of plumbers tape on my switch to solve this problem.

I just used a small pliers to hold the pin and screwed the button in. It's been holding for a few days with no adjustment necessary. .. so far haha!
