Not Firing

[Slo Ryd]

Tried giving the switch a bath in lime juice, and its working perfectly!

Obviously the tarnish on the switch was causing the problems. Cheers for the help!

Oh good I'm glad you got it working like new again. So how are you liking the UltraMax now that it's working properly?

Oh yeah its fantastic, I don't think that was ever in doubt!

its really frustrating. Its got to the stage now where it won't work at all. It will occasionally fire if I keep trying and rotating the battery sleave

Interestingly, i've marked the battery sleeve at a particular point where it seems to fire regularly - any reason why one particular position would fire?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

When this happens, i give the battery sleeve and casing a good cleaning. The contacts between there 2 are probably dirty

I have the same problem with mine and I am certain it is the switch. Mine is the new version and I would like to clean the inside of it. Does the pellet come off at all or can I just soak the whole switch in lime juice?

Thanks guys

Sorry for the late reply I have been extremely busy. No the pellet will not come out of the new switches. You should be fine to soak the whole switch in lime juice, just give it enough time to completely dry out before using it again.

No need to apologise Tmeis. That was still a pretty swift reply

I have given it a bath in lemo juice for 10 mins, rinsed it off with water and dried it with a hair dryer and voila! It ie working again like it did the first day.

Thanks for that, you made me a happy apex fan again

All the best,
Nina

No problem, I'm just happy that it's working like it's supposed to again.

Did you try cleaning it out? Also, what happens to a lot of people is when you screw your atomizer in it pushes the switch housing out a little bit. So after you screw the atomizer in, unscrew the battery sleeve and main body and push the switch back up towards the atomizer to make sure it has a snug fit against it. That should also help.

working like a charm now, glad all this info was here.

About how often are you guys having to do the switch cleaning thing?

I'd love to be able to put a little noalox on the contact points to make it last a little longer between cleans, but I've got the sealed switch, and can't see any way to get at it.

Best,
Ande
