Hi All,
I have a feeling this is probably best asked in the mechanical mod section but since I am new here - not new to vaping (FOOB but no steep required) I can't post anywhere else
I did hijack another Nemesis thread in New Members area creating the same post but it's not the same problem and probably requires it's own thread.
I have a hcigar nemesis clone and I experienced a short circuit today after swapping out the springs for magnets in the switch. The whole unit including the Protank I was using super-heated the instant I fired the switch.
This only happened after I replaced the spring with magnets (I used 3 in order to stand the nemesis without autofiring). At first all was fine. But then I decided to screw the switch a little tighter to the tube (even though it was sufficiently tight already). I then fired it and it instantly shorted.
After checking the battery and making sure it was safe, I removed a magnet so there was only 2. Retested Nemesis and everything is fine again (although now the switch magnets are not sufficient to keep to nemesis from autofiring while standing now).
However, I tried to recreate the initial fault by further tightening the switch and was able to recreate the same short circuit fault again which super heated the entire unit very quickly. (I do have VTC5 batteries that did not get ruined by the short - I made sure)
When I had springs I didn't have this issue and was able to slightly over tighten the switch to the tube with no issue.
Am I just causing the problem with over tightening the base to the tube or is this an inherent potential danger with using magnets?
Just to add, the magnets I use are very brittle (2 broke already after attracting each other) and additionally their diameter barely clears the base's centre tube. This means magnets sit under the rice pin rather then around it. Could this be the root of the problem?
Thanks in advance!
