that post makes the most sense so far. I have a little adhd issue and when things are jumbled, I tend to not be able to read them well. thanks!.

you are not planning on using glue?

 

[Armen]

I do have it.

I did buy some magnets today that were bigger than the ones he used. I thought I would just set them in there. I had to loosen the screw to make it work, but it did. Just not as permanent as I would have liked. I did not want to keep messing with the screw.

no no glue i rather let the magnets do there job even if i have to order other magnets i don't want to have to call poc for a new switch specially after the 3rd batch he's taking a 2 to 3 month vacation if it doesn't work i could put the spring back and use again till something better comes up and you know it always does

anyone else have a horrible time getting the fill screw back in?

any tricks?

 

[Painfreak]

Magnetic screwdriver will help a lot. Or just rub a screwdriver with a magnet and the screw will stick to it i believe.

I need a magnetic screwdriver. I'll get one tomorrow.

It's a tiny screw but a good magnetic screwdriver works. If you have one of those neodymium ring magnets you could slip it over the screwdriver then you'll have a very strong magnetic screwdriver.

That is pretty awesome dude!

nice to see a portlander here.

I see alot of people wanting magnets for their switches and wndering what the right size is. The magnets you're going to want for the Katana switch are 10mm OD x 2mm ID x 1mm thick

Still not feeling well... tempted to tinker with the Katana but afraid I may end up throwing it due to lack of patience lol...

Also thinking of trying: boiling mesh, torching, and dipping in VG (repeat 5x). A couple people have mentioned to me that this also works for them. Lord? Riddle? Thoughts? lol...

 

[lorderos33]

Boiling, definitely. Torch and quench in water 5X then heat once more till dry, drip a coule drops of vg or pg on the wick and light on fire with torch. Let it burn itself out, repeat 5x.

That's how I do it anyway. Many people do not bother with the heat/quench in water, but it is how I have always done it and it works best for me. Leaving that part out is a shortcut to remove the heat/quench cycle, but to me it helps alot because it builds the hard layer of oxidation due to annealing and tempering the steel first before building the soft "sooty" layer that the juice leaves when it burns off. This in turn shortens the break-in cycle before he coils settles in.

That's my , YMMV
