Hiya K-man! You too Dyanna, Lilybear, Murdock, and whoever else I missed! I've been trying to read all the back pages (UGH!) LOL....I sort of "speed read" the backlog pages, I admit.


It has been alot easier the past few days to get caught up, thats not necessarily a good thing though.

I agree tigerlily! MissEmma said it beautifully! And she didn't "soften" it either. Kudos :)

MissEmma, I think you have echoed my sentiments completely! I also could not stay up for all of last night's ordeal. I am more of a morning person myself. I've spent about 2 hours this morning reading through last night's conversation and all I can say is WOW!

You take care of yourself today, MissEmma! I hope your power situation is fixed soon.

Switch Problem SOLVED !!!

After putting together the fact that Zen~ could not re-create the missfire problem that I and some others have been having, and liveone pm'd me saying that he/she noticed the contact between the screw and the negative end of the battery seemed small and that sanding it helped, I decided to take a closer look. I used a microscope and had a look at the screw for the switch. There was 2 points on the screw that made it so that only 2 little points the size of a pointy pin were all that were touching the battery. I sanded it again lightly with 400 grit paper and the 2 bits were still there. I sanded again this time using much more force and checked again. Still 2 little nubs left. I did it again, this time sanding for 1 minute straight and by the time I was done I had made a very small flat area on the head of the screw. I thought this could be the problem when I first found it, but now I KNOW this was definitely the problem. You guys need to sand the screw head for approximately 30 to 60 seconds on 400 grit sandpaper and I promise you this will fix the miss fire, weak fire issues for good. No contact enhancer needed.

I feel really bad that I upset Mike tonight and vowed not to sleep until I figured this out. (I am like that and will not let a little thing like this stop me from making something work) There is never anything in my house that does not work because I always fix it. That is a legacy that my dad left me with. He always fixed everything in the house and taught me how.

Long story short, I am sorry Mike for upsetting you, but if you did not say what you said, I would not have done what I did tonight.

vape Long, and vape Proud everyone.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for all!!!!!!

PS. Sorry for the book.

I wanted to add to the above, but thought the post was long enough already. I am guessing that not all screws are created equal and that some probably have larger, sharper burrs from the manufacturing process. I think that is why some have problems and others do not. And why a little sanding has worked for some but not all. If you are having problems, please try sanding your screw, I do not think you could sand it too much by hand in one sitting for it to wear away too much of the screw, so do not be afraid to put some elbow grease into it.

Happy Vaping,

Katz
Makes perfect sense! and thanks for the tips on how to go about doing it!! :vapor:
