I ripped out the original spring as well as metal piece above the delrin and attached 4 of these magnets to the center of the battery. 30 Neodymium Magnets 1/4 x 1/16 inch Disc N48: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
It was a perfect fit to make a proper connection and fires every time. HUGE performance increase. I tried this after using the sigelei 19 spring and getting misfires. I plan on getting a dremel and some of those chicago screws for a more permanent solution.

Has anyone seen this video Rainbow Heaven Hybrid Elite - YouTube? It appears to be in russian... They replace the positive post spring washer with a larger one, which I assume is to eliminate the distance from the wick that could create a hot lead at the top. Has anyone tried this?
I'll just leave this here for anyone else who was unfortunate enough to break both their tanks in less than a month...

I did the resistance measurements on this after hauling the accurate meter off a shelf in the back room (where it has been for about the past ten years lol). Resistance is somewhat more relevant than voltage drop because resistance is independent of any specific build.
I made an 18650 battery sized slug from ordinary copper tubing which measured about 400 to 500 micro ohms (millionths of an ohm). The ends were polished, then the slug installed in the hybrid just as a battery would be. Then hooked up the hybrid elite and closed the switch -- total resistance of about 230 milli-Ohms or .230 Ohms. Abominable. I plan to try a few modifications I have in mind, maybe a little less drastic than the Chicago screw, and if I get marked improvements, I'll post the results.
Next up are other mods, but I need to make a fixture to get in the 510 connection (using 4 wire Kelvin connection) without adding any relevant resistance at the connection.

So I finally got mine up here in Northern Canada, on Thursday. I widened the air hole a bit, sanded inside the tube a bit, threw in a Kick and it works great! 1.2ohms at 8ish watts = big clouds and great flavour.
.... and I was sure I wasn't going to like it.

Many thanks for the Chicago screw fix, works great.
I put an o-ring between the button/switch and the tube to keep from over tightening the battery.
Once again not a good picture but i polished the Elite.

I guess RH is supposed to be coming out with a V2. I wish I could figure out what they are changing on it. Looks like the button is going to be different and it is going to be made out of SS instead of aluminum.

If I can get a V2 for around $40 like I did the V1, I'll happily buy one. Especially since it looks like this switch won't be such a POS. I'll probably wait until they are widely available and well-documented on youtube this time though.
I know what you mean lol. I would probably pick one up, but with them cracking down on the minimum MSRP Idk how easy they will be to get for $30-40. I am sure some places will get them. I just hope I have money when they do it.
Sweet! I wonder if the gold version I bought can be sanded down and polished?
Dont sand it. put it in a glass filled with oven cleaner for 15 min. i posted what i did a few pages back. it couldnt be easier. after that polish away.

I feel the same way. At the right price, ~$40, I'd jump on it without waiting on youtube reviews.
The V1 was easy enough to mod to hit like a beast.
Jack that just looks wicked with the polish job.
The V2 does look nice. I'm partial to hybrid mods for form factor. They just look really clean.
