My buddy gave me a free Brass sigelei #19 and I loved the look but that button was way too heavy! Here is how I lightened the trigger and will shorten the pull on my #19.
First you have to take the magnet/bolt out. I used a dremel with a small cutoff wheel to notch the magnet and then held the button with vise grips and a cloth so I don't mangle the button up (which I ended up doing a little but i can buff it out) use a flat head screw driver and elbow grease to get it out.

Its out!
Then I used a sigelei Zmax spring (you can use any lighter spring that will fit)

Notice how I had to snip the spring so the center would clear the bolt.
I then reinstalled the magnet by reversing the process and ran into a problem. The pull was so soft that the darn magnet would stick to the battery and the mod would constantly fire. NOT GOOD!
Back to the drawing board. I then decided that the magnet had to go. It really didn't do anything so I took the magnet to he hardware store and matched up the thread size with a 1/4"x28 bolt (fine thread) If I could find a gold plated one or something a little more conductive I would have used it but I went with this.
I then trimmed the bolt to the length of the magnet/bolt using the same dremel with cutoff wheel.

I then notched the head so I can use a flat heat screwdriver in it and reinstalled it.

VOILA
Now my pull is much lighter and it doesn't stick any longer!
I will be putting some washers underneath the head of the bolt to shorten the pull. I will most likely use nylon washers if I can find them so they wont make a jingling noise. It shouldn't rattle when not being used anyway since the spring will put tension on it.
You can adjust the length of the pull by installing more or less washers. If you use too many washers it will always engage so please do not install the battery with an atomizer hooked up! You may overload the battery, atty, or burn yourself!
