Haha, ouch. Sorry. I listened to 30 seconds and almost had to turn off my PC. You can call me Jeff if you like. 'Cuando' was a kind of challenge to myself - a reminder - as in, 'when are you going to quit smoking'. Had nothing to do with Bubbles, there. :)

Thank god. Because that song makes me want to rip my eye balls out.

Not every day is a good day to be a squirrel.

But there are ways around it.

Sticking my neck way out here, but, I am pretty sure that rascal in the first pic is indeed a ground squirrel. I've seen those ears in a rifle scope many times.

Yeah, no clue who tortured you and made you listen to that, but man! I have been suffering from a stomach bug the last few days, but that is nothing compared to what that song did to my innards. Ugh.

Wooo! Got my PG, VG, and syringes in today. Now I'm just waiting for my flavoring to arrive tomorrow and I can start DIYing. Also, on an unrelated note, I have a KTS+ (AKA China GG) that has a firing button issue. The button gets really really hot, at first it was after quite a few puffs chain vaping, but now after a 2-3 second pulse it's nearly hot enough to burn. The recommended treatment is to sand the firing pin and contact points, then Nolax. Any of you regulars know where to apply it? I was thinking that it would make sense to try and get it under the locking ring in the hopes that the heat would transfer to that, but I want to make absolutely sure that won't cause any problems.

Noalox? That's an anti-oxidizing compound you use to keep the electrical system from shorting out. Typically you apply it to the threads for mods. It's not a heat dissipating paste or anything of that nature.

i guess the threads on like tube mobs. i dunno. i use it on my reo's, on the firing pin and sometimes on the spring.

I had to reread the OP. He needs to do just what you do for the Reo. After cleaning/sanding the threads/contact points, they need the anti-oxidizing paste, Noalox, to keep them clean & not shorting out.

It is indeed. We call 'em gophers out here. They raise a whole lot of hell with the cattle ranchers & destroy hundreds of thousands of dollars in land & livestock annually.

True, but I figure that the heat must be coming from some sort of electricity flowing into the button that really shouldn't be there, since nothing else gets hot. On a different mod with the same style firing button, I saw the advice given to push the button to the side so it makes contact with the ring and dissipates the electricity. It hasn't worked on the KTS+, but there's not much give in the firing post/button in the sideways direction , so I figured maybe I could surround it in Noalax and that would help it make contact. I just looked at the bottom spring, it was not in a good state. Solder had leaked out the sides of the post it looks like, it was all over the bottom of the spring/top of the coil. I torched the hell out of it until the solder boiled and popped the spring out, in addition to what may have been some sort of insulated wire (I'm not really sure though, whatever it was got super blackened during torching and then I lost it trying to clean off the blackened layer) that was previously inside the post, presumably kept there by the spring. So I'm probably going to head back to my local hardware store tomorrow and get some insulated wire, possible a better spring, and maybe some advice from someone who works in the relevant electrical department.
