I have never sanded any contacts. I just got a #8 yesterday(from Hoosier as well, those people are great!). What contacts do I need to sand, what do I need to take apart, and what grit and or tools do I need? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I agree with qorax! BUT if you really want to know what people are doing to these... start at page one in this thread and keep reading. All the answers are here. :)

I thought the #19 was a magnetic button. That doesn't look magnetic to me? :confused:

So did I but I'm still getting one :)

Me too, but that is misleading and not cool. That is one of the main reasons I wanted the #19. I wanted to try a magnetic button and see what it is like.

Edit: I guess the 510 and the post are both magnetic to stick to the battery I guess.

I also found this for anyone interested.

I just posted to Exhale Vapors Facebook page to clarify whether the switch is spring loaded or magnetic. I bought it for the magnetic switch also and this would be a deal breaker for me. But if Sun Vapers has the magnetic switch, the vapegear version may be an anomaly.

The one in the video is from Sun Vapers.

Sigelei #19 is NOT a "Magnetic" Button,
Not at least the current roll out versions

OVERVIEW:
1. All Steel (which makes it robust & heavy, just like the other Sigeleis)
2. Telescopic design, not Sectional like #8
3. Floating Head Pin (the +ve connector can be moved around)
4. Can take reverse battery config. (to reduce the the throw of the firing button)
5. Spring loaded Firing Button, bottom fed

NOTE:
a) Sun-Vapers has it in stock, but is selling it seriously overpriced though, at $49.99.
b) VapeGear-UK also has it in stock, and is selling it for £29.99, which is US$46.67*.
____________________________________________________________________________
*They r charging £12 for shipping to Canada (I've email exchanges with Keef Wright).

How did we all think it was a magnetic switch? Man, I need to go back through the thread and find out where my misunderstanding was.
