P18

[DanteInferno]

Sorry to be dense but what are the two o-rings and 4 washers for on the P18. I noticed that when assembled without these, the atty on the P18 gets and stays very hot?

Help!

Thanks,

Hey there,

There are two o rings that are included with your P18 to accomodate different length 18650 batteries. If you are using a longer battery such as the AW 2600 mah then you would only use one o ring. If you are using a shorter battery, such as the IMR 18650's then you would use both o rings.

The o rings are installed into the atomizer end of the tube and pushed down to seat on the lip at the switch end. I usually just put it in a little ways then put a battery into the unit and kinda bounce it up and down to seat the o ring all the way.

The washers are to adjust the throw, or how far you have to push in the switch, to get the unit to fire. They are installed under the contact on the switch. You can remove this contact with a screwdriver to install them.

For my P18 I have to use two washers when I am using the IMR 18650's or it won't fire at all, and I use one for the AW 2600 mah.

Hope this helps

Jim

I figured out about the washers after reading the included text and examining the unit. My biggest concern is the amount of heat the atty has only after a hit or two. It is cooling down so I assume it is just the LR aty getting very hot with newly charged batteries but I didn't notice is cooling down at first and is very uncomfortable to touch. I think it is just a matter of taking shorter hits from usual mods.

Awesome looking device though!
