How do i raise the battery contact on my ego?

[jillhumb]

Found a backup battery for me Ego, it's going to have to be tweeked tho, it won't "contact' with some of my cartos, but works ok on the atty's . . . I've read a time or two about raising the center contact post, or filing down the "skirt" . . . which is my best/easiest bet? I'm soooo not mechanical by nature, but hubby should be able to follow instructions . . .
thanks in advance . . .

Use a small thumbtack or needle. Gently pry the center contact of the battery, just a tiny amount, from the edge, then rotate the battery, slightly pry at a second point.
Only a little prying is needed.
I used to have to do this all the time, my cartos seemed to play hob with that center contact on Rivas

Filing the "skirt" will work also.

Yup. Did this with two madvapes batteries today - used a dremel tool and did both of them in less than a minute.

My tool of choice for raising posts in both batteries and atomizers is a dental pick - I've got one where I cut all the handle off the thing except for maybe two inches and it's pretty handy. Got tired of adjusting posts on the MV batteries so I ground down the skirt on the connector this morning - like I said it took all of a minute.

I like to put a piece of 220 or so sandpaper on a flat surface and then rub the battery conector just like you do with an eraser on a pencil.
