Yea, originally it was curving sort of away from the wick over to the pillar, so I took the screwdriver and pushed it to the side directly across from the post, and then straight to the post. It help keep the top of the wick straight also, instead of leaning out of the open side at the top.
Hang on - let me see if I can get a picture ....

Ok, this is obviously oversimplified, but you get the idea .... and the arrow is where I pushed with the little screwdriver. I did this at both ends, and it seems to work great.

That works, I have had a similar issue, but not most of the time. Sometimes it's the only way around it
So katana was supposed to be here last Saturday. Instead it got returned to sender........latest update is he reshipped it and threw in the magnets for the switch. Anyone using the magnets? Does it improve the throw or am I better off keepig stock switch setup? KatanaV3 says arrival on Monday so once again...I'm superstoked!!

I have the magnets in my switch and they make a tremendous difference. Keep the spring just in case, but I am sure you will like the magnets. It's not so much an improvement I the throw, but it hits harder with the magnets Pathan it does with the springs.

Hey lorderos I got the magnets you sent me a link to . I fit 4 of them in the switch 2 facing each way . It really does hit harder lovin it . Thanks

How would the magnets help it hit harder? If anything it should only change the tension of pressing the button...? Placebo effect?
I sanded the threads on my neg. screw and applied noalox to the threads then screwed it back in, and even that did just about nothing lol

The spring is what complets the circuit the magnets carry more current . I think
Edit the magnets let more current to flow threw the switch

To smooth out the button travel. It was suggested and illustrated by Scott the reviewer (igetcha69).

Correct
The springs wire diameter limits the current that can go through the switch. With the magnets installed, this current "bottleneck" is removed and so you can use the full current that your battery can supply.

lorderos - the button screw or the screw in the tall neg post? I am confused .....
I filed the button/switch screw.
Ooo - I want magnets too!! Please ...

Yes, the button screw.
I can't find the magnets in small lots on eBay right now, but the seller has these 50 magnet lots for $11.99.
50 8mm x 1.2mm ring magnets
Got it. Researching now.
All the other listings that I can find want $3.50 - $7.00 per magnet, and the cheaper ones come from China.
Just ordered the 50 from eBay.
