I need a softer spring

[ricklynchcore]

Question, I have a Uranos mod and find the switch spring to strong. I wish to find a softer spring but have no idea how to size or where to find one. Any ideas?, thanks for all replies. Thought of cutting a bit of spring away, but nervous to do so.

Cut a little at a time, like a have a revolution, then try it. Keep cutting till you like it, just keep in mind you want a touch more than you really need so once it's to power you want you can turn it on its side and sand it almost flat.

Hope this helps ya!!

It is hard to tell from looking at the parts in a youtube video, but I found softer springs in certain ballpoint pens. It is a secondary spring used to keep the clicky button from wobbling. It might fit.

you may also want to try heating it, and letting it cool slowly, this will soften the metal, and thus remove some of that resilience,

Thanks all for the great advice.

I just saw the v2 is now with magnets, something you could do as well with your v1.

Really, that's interesting, I wonder how so?

Ok, I have employed a combination of ideas presented here and have solved my tight spring problem. First I removed one full coil from spring, tested, and decided it was still a bit tight. I then superheated the remaining coil several times, turning it white hot and letting it cool. This did it. Spring more flexible, and east to press, much like my precise spring. Can now fire using the base of my little finger rather than needing my palm or multiple fingers. When standing it still does not fire the device, but I will likely use the locking ring more. Thanks again for the ideas and solve.

Just pay attention to the resistance of the spring, granted now that you heaed it, it will lose some tension, however it also will lose its spring back effect as you use it.

When you heat a spring to soften the tension, you also need to quench it in oil. That will make it keep the spring effect!!

Hmmm, didn't do the oil quench, I'll have to keep an eye out for future problems.
