Hey everyone. I have been lurking on this forum for help for about 2 years and for the first time I have come across a problem and also have the time to start learning more. I currently have a Maraxus clone with a Kraken clone. I'm from Maryland and I love long walks on the internet.

I think I like long time lurker coming out to play posts even more than the newbie posts

Well the combo hits like a horse, but about half the time it doesn't seem to contact. I have cleaned in thoroughly and I know it isn't a coil problem (it was tested on another maraxus). Any ideas?

Id check the firing pin first, make sure its connected snuggly. Next id look at the 510 pin, if yours is adjustable.
I am pretty sure it's because something isn't flush but I don't know how to tell if it is connecting or not without some kind of meter. Is there a way to tell?
No, there is no rattling and no movement at all. The mod is hand tightened to a comfortable level. When I press the firing pin in there is connection with the battery. *edit* That connection still might not be flush.
I'm noticing that on my Maraxus clone it doesn't always fire either, no matter which topper I have on it. I need to check the bottom switch, because I have found that if I wiggle it around while firing, it will fire. I think it doesn't always make contact right unless I hit the fire button in certain positions.
A lot of times it won't fire at all until I find it's sweet spot. I don't know the brand of mine, but I don't think it was as well made as some clones.

Same here. Haven't lurked for 2 years though. Switched from analogs in Jan. Been on other forums, but my gut feeling tells me I should have invested more time here.
So for anyone who googles this. I did find a fix eventually. The Kraken and the Maraxus don't play well together so I ended up replacing it with a kayfun 3.1. It hits like my dad and is wonderful.
Mine hits wonderfully with the Kayfun too, but my button is wonky no matter what is on top. I should try my Kraken on there just to see if mine works with the Kraken. I love the Kayfun so much that I hate to use anything else except my Nimbus any more though.
If the mech mod has a bottom button, I have found the screw inside the button that holds the spring in place loosens up with use. One of the draw backs of bottom buttons. If you can take the mech apart just above the button, see if the retaining screw is loose. Hand tighten it and you are back in business. You can also tell when the screw is loose if you start feeling like the button action is not smooth.
