Mod Problem, how does this switch come apart?

[wallacecarey]

This mod hits way too light. I don't have a multimeter but I think the voltage drop is extreme and/or the switch needs cleaning. Does anyone know how this switch comes apart?

Can't really tell from the pics. Looking at the middle pic maybe try needle nose pliers and see if it gives.

What mod is it? Perhaps someone with the same mod can guide you.

I have no idea the brand of this mod. It has no marking I can find on it anywhere.

That looks like the Segelei Telescoping mech to me.

It looks like Sigelei's poor attempt at a Roller clone.

Sigelei #20 v3 or v4

Clean the switch bottom contact
Clean the spring and thread sections
Remove the brass 510 on top and clean all threading there

Best not to try fiddling with the switch

THIS MOD NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUB OHM!!!!!

Yep, Sigelei #20 was actually my first mech...I actually gouged the insulator pretty badly trying to get the switch apart. Honestly, I think on the older versions of the mod, the switch was meant to be taken apart (seen it done in YouTube videos), but not on the newer ones...I tried for a long time to get that switch apart to no avail (looks like the same version as yours).

In addition to what crxess said, Mark Todd from toddsreviews.com got his #20 firing better by replacing the spring with a stiffer one (pretty sure it was a stiffer one)...the review is still on his site anyway, for reference.

It does look like a Roller clone. Atmizoo has a video that shows how to take the Roller switch apart and put it back together. I don't know if that will help you, just throwing it out there. I don't take my Roller switch apart all that often. I regularly clean the 510 connection and the spring (if I have it in there which I don't anymore) with alcohol. I can tell a big difference when they're clean vs not been cleaned for awhile.
