And here's a prob I could def use some help with guys:

I took one of my mkb's switches apart to clean as it was starting to heat up when I used it. When I put it back together I over tightened the brass pin and switch hexagonal cap. It seems I managed to strip it slightly and thread in in too far. As a quick fix I jammed some nickel wire in the switch hexagonal cap so the brass pin wouldn't over thread but this is not going to cut it long term I fear.

Does anyone know where we can get replacement switch parts for these? Either a whole new switch or just the brass switch pin and hexagonal switch cap? I remember dw tried remapping the hole for a gg switch but not sure how that panned out. I really hope I don't have to buy a whole new mod just for a switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Anybody have a list of what GG parts will fit on the mkbts? If not can we start a list? Lol

The Tele tubes won't go into eachothers bottom tubes and the switches aren't interchangeable

Maybe DW can answer this one... I know the Herc airflow ring can tidy up the MKB; what about a genuine Ithaka control ring?

That got interesting for a moment, I forgot that one of my Ithaka clones is a Tobeco but here we go.
The genuine GG ring from Ithaka and the one that comes on the MKB are the same and so is the Tobeco one the same, only the Hecules ring is slightly smaller O.D.
I sold one Herc

I don't know anything about the springs mc,
but i measured mine - 2cm long and about the ID of the axis itself. I screw it in half the length of the spring; 1cm sticking out. (about 3/4 cm ID)
Anyone find brass springs?

my button /switch/ batt spring is all working excellent... (shimmed button)

Reg. a GG button pin working on the MKB: even if it threads, it is not the correct length. The diameter of the Axis on the MKB is larger than a GG's, so the switches don't have the same travel. The GG pin is longer to reach the smaller axis.

Oh and thanks for telling me you're saving up for a Just GG, IcyX. I had talked myself out of it, and then you brought it up again and that Aug. 20 date keeps getting closer, and I could almost swing it. I'm tempted to sell the Nemesis to fund a new GG since I never really groove with bottom buttons (or 510 connections). Really it's the fact that my current brass GG is of two diff alloys and it throws me that they don't patina the same. I guess one has really arrived as a "serious vaper" when one stops concerning himself with vapor production and starts worrying more about matching metal finishes. :p

Hey dw any word on replacement switch parts?
Will the gg brass switch pin fit into the mkb switch assembly?
