Precise ELA Telescoping Mod by Super-T!

[MikeJA]

ELA #2 has landed. 223 days! I am just so happy happy happy happy happy!

I am still anxious about getting #3, but now that I have one as a backup, I feel so much better!

Thank you Super-T!

Enjoy ELA number 2! I should be seeing my second one in a few weeks. Didn't order number three...wish I had now. Such a great device.

It varies from person to person, but mine will get "lose" if it gets dirty. Again it vaires, some have never cleaned theirs and no loosening. Mine gets really dirty and will lose its grip. I just soak it in hot soapy water, give it a good scrubbing, dry and go over with a alchohol soaked q-tip and still more black gunk comes from the locking ring, no more slipping.

Just in case, I was talking about the locking ring, I assumed that is what you meant ?

That's exactly the method I used when I cleaned my ELA. It amazed me how much black junk came off it even after the soapy bath and toothbrush scrubbing
Do you remove the compression band when you do this?

I just solve the problem by not using the ring.

I'd like a consensus. Gap or no gap. Some people say yes others no. I'm hoping to be in the no camp. 18490 mode. Gaps yes or no. Ti

The whole gap/oring thing had always been the biggest pita for me. All of my Super T mods wind up getting a specific battery and atty so everything fits together perfectly.

The ELA gives you a bit more flexibility than the other straight tube mods but still you won't get the perfect fit in all battery combinations.

The only thing I think Dave could do to improve these minor aesthetical issues is to come up switch design similar in nature to the Nemesis. It just solves all the other issues we seem to have.

Aw hell no, don't mess with the best switch in the business.

I also usually roll without the ring. I don't have gapitus but this give my finger a good place to rest and I get added "grip". Personally I don't think this takes away from the looks of the ELA....except for the vent holes, but I can live with it.

 

[ragnarokstar]

I've lucked out on the gap front. All my 490s look perfect with my kayfuns. As far as the gap above the top beauty ring goes, to get rid of it, loosen the top cap and slide the ring up so that tightening down the cap snugs it up.

 

[tnt56]

Never thought about the extra grip without the ring? Humm. Maybe my baby will get a nice warm bubble bath today. And then a little makeover.

Oh that reminds me. I need to remind my sweetie to make her spa appointment that I got her for Christmas.
After all the girls need to be pampered. If they ain't happy. Then I ain't happy.

Its been over a year since the ELA was announced....I am still amazed at its design/build....
The initial price point, such a deal. How do you do it SuperT???

Couldn't agree more.
Especially anything from a Nemesis. Sorry Nemesis fans, Had one on the first release and sold it within 24 hours here. The crunchy terrible switch was reason #7.

 

[vaptamist]

I see a lot of people say it's a great switch, but I've never owned one and can't remember what's so great about it.

Im a bit on the cautious side ( OK, Im paranoid) since I messed up my first compression ring. So I leave it in , but every 4 or 5 times I very carefully slide it out to clean it better. If you take the compression ring out you have to gently slide it out on the threaded side. The other side has a short more solid edge. If you force it over the non thread edge, thats where you take the chance of warping it. I found out the wrong way

When I dont remove the compression ring I just soak and use a soft toothbrush and I sort of brush in the space and spin it around to get the whole area under, then I do the same with a q-tip and alcohol.

That was an excellent and informative post! I try not to even look at my compression ring for fear of jacking it up. Now I'm not so skeered.

 

[tnt56]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Forgot I cut my fingers up all to heck with a razor blade the other day. (yea I'm that smart). Did all the kitchen dishes, grrrrrrrrrrrr hurts. Not just got out the wonderful 99% alcohol to give ELA her rub down.
OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Hey if you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at life.

I know I tend to "nag" sometimes but really, I think there is a big and important NEED for some more detailed "breakdown, how to videos" for the locking ring, bottom contact/button, complete o-ring replacement , especially the set on the top post.

I know for some it very self explanatory, but there is a lot of room for messing things up. It would help us that are paranoid, and save Dave time on having to get them back because of "user error" incidents. ( guilty as charged)

Make a video. That's what I do. I can play the ShockWave! Can you?

 

[anavidfan]

But I dont know how to take apart the top parts, plus Im camera shy and my hands make the manliest, messed up hands look pretty. To top it off, my left hand is rubbish, especially when stressed and thing drop or I cant do things fast. It would be one of those comedic out take types of how to videos.
