I have a rs and a maxi I bought about a year ago, for some reason both of them decided to quit working about the same time, I have and extra switch that I have use before and tried changing the switch out and putting new straws in there and cannot seem to get any of them to work. my questiion/problems are:
1) I was going to try to replace spring with a wire, and the only wire I have handy is a thin one that came with a box mod kit will that wire work? 2) the (rubber) ring inside of my 510 connector base came out and I put it back in, could that be part of my problem? 3) are the new complete caps you can buy going to fit on either of mine (cause they say they are for the V2 and might not fit the old models and I am pretty sure mine are old models
any help with these matters would be great as these 2 are my go-tos and I do not have too much backup
it seems that none of the 3 swiches I have will work now and all went out at the same time I find that very weird, is there something else I am missing?

The 510 connector rubber insulator can fail; especially when removed/installed.
If failed it will short and trigger protected batt protection circuit.
Can test for short w/ DMM.

Digital Multi Meter. I have only owned a RS for a couple weeks but I'll bet one of our veterans can tell you how to test it. Anybody?
Set DMM to measure resistance(ohms).
Remove batt.
One lead on body.
Other lead on 510 connector center post.
Should have near max ohm reading until press button then near zero ohm.

For those of u with a bad switch on the RS, yesterday I replaced the switch with the c&k one that MV sells. They were all out of the whole replacement switch assembly. Applied soldering iron to one lead of switch til solder liquified, then quickly to the other side to remove. slid in new switch, make sure its in there deep enough otherwise the device wont screw down all the way. Added more solder. I then hard wired a small piece of wire to the positive post on the connector. Definitely easier to just buy the new assembly but if theyre out or ur broke this isn't too hard to do.
Im loving the emdcc's on my RS with a high drain imr 18650, dont need to bring my VV out and about w me anymore!

Just picked up my Maxi at vapefest with 3.7 and 6v battery combinations. Loving it at 3.7 with a 2.5 dual. My only issue is that the button isn't very comfy but otherwise its great and looks really pimpin.
hard wired one of my rs's and it works better than it ever has,
I like jim's idea with replaceing the switch on the circut board , I am on a tight budget and I think that might help

Yeah, I definitely see some improvement in performance. That thin little spring has gotta add at least a little internal resistance. The person I bought it from also put a hotspring on it, which pretty much just makes a better and less resistance connection to ground.
I think the hot spring works in most all 18x50 tube mods. It's only available from altsmoke as far as I know.
Although the battery's shorter - 35mm vs 65mm - the diameter's the same 18mm so it'll fit!
not sure what a hot spring is, (on the bottom a assume) send pic if you can (I learn better seeing things) LOL
Yeah, this sounds like a hot tip. Please give some details on this spring.
I was worried about the length with the hot spring and 18350 batt. If it will work, cool, I'm gonna try one. Thanks.
