Mech mod Switch:
I am sure this is posted somewhere else. Anyway I have a Sentinel M16 and a Stingray X. BOTH had issues with the switch.
SAME problem... the nut that screws into the firing post cannot be tightened or you lose the "throw". When firing the mod the nut/screw becomes loose. Always!!!!

First Sentinel...The spring was not real good and the firing button kept getting loose and fell off twice.
I did order the magnets which worked like a champ to improve the feel of the throw but the screw on the bottom kept getting loose!!
So, for the M16 I put the tiniest bit of pipe tape on the screw.

Then screw the nut on just far enough over the bushing to make contact.

It worked like a champ! Screw never became loose again and I had been vaping on that exclusively for two weeks!

The Stingray is an Hcigar Clone. First problem screw comes loose. Second problem the pin is too short.

So, the screw gets loose causing bigger throw. THEN the switch gets caught on the pin. BINGO it sticks!
I will have to deal with the pin later.
So, I did the same trick with a little pipe tape on the firing screw.
Any other thoughts or fixes?
