Has anyone had any luck getting a sticky 801 auto battery switch to work again. I mainly use my 801 PS passthrough when I'm around the house. This is one fine device. I still carry a couple of batteries when I'm out but they only work occasionally and it gets frustrating.

Any advice or suggestions on how to fix these would be appreciated.

Nomo--What worked for me was to wach it hard ash side down on a table several times and then suck on the battery hole to try to unfreeze the flywheel switch in there that is stuck due to e-liquid running into the battery. This usually works. Others have taken alcohol and filled the battery to clear it---this I never had to attempt. Some also have reported results with shoving a paper clip up the battery hole and wiggling it around.---so give those a try.
