Silver Plating always seems to break something -- arcing

Tarnish remover?

 

And More Deoxit Gold or Noalox?

 

I’m intrigued, what build are you using?

 

I don't run stacked mods but I can't see that they'd be any better than regular mechs regarding cleaning. In fact, I'd guess they require more cleaning.
A white pencil eraser might help remove the black marks on the pin. After cleaning that up, apply deoxit red, then deoxit gold to all contact points. This should be done regularly. You'll have to do the same with your copper pin.
You might also need to adjust the switch.

 

What 18650s? You're seriously overstressing those Sanyos with that build. You do know ohms, right, and the cdr of your batteries?

DC current has a propensity to arc, the higher the current the more arcing will occur. With the current you're pushing you'll always have issues if you don't use something (Deoxit or dielectric grease) to help guard against arcing.

 

Me thinks, that silver is such a good conductor, that with that amperage your using, it's arcing across the air gap before actual contact is ever made.

 

I own a VCM2 and it gets arc marks. I just rub it off with a pencil eraser, and all is well again. Never had it stop firing on me. The silver plating has been arc'd right off in the spots where it usually arcs though, exposing the copper, which also gets some arc marks on it. It's just what happens when you're putting a lot of current through your mod. You could probably avoid it by buying a mod that uses a clutch system, like the Broadside, where the battery is always in contact, or by building higher so there's less current.

Other than that, just make sure you push down hard and fast, to reduce arcing and make sure it's a solid connection. If it's not pushed in firmly, it's going to arc a bit more, same with if you are slow pushing the button in. Deoxit and stuff could help, but I personally don't bother because I haven't had any issues that a pencil eraser and polish couldn't fix.

 

Using Ronin X2 Ambition Mod for over 2 months. It gets few arcing spots on the fire pin, but not big deal. It still hits like train.

 

.3-.35 is stressing the cells I think not I run at .28 on my stacks that’s 30 amps on 30 amps cells bla .3-.35 if just fine

The Sanyo Be are max 16 amps, I believe. So yeah, 28 amps is overstressing them...

I think I can sense where this thread is going...

 

Nope not going there staying within the safe 30amp range

He said he did not like the 20700B and using 18650s so “if” he is using 30amp CDR cells he can be down to .28 and .3-.35 is. No stress

Op just use a Pencil eraser on your cell and contact to get the black off

And I asked what 18650s the op uses (never got an answer), and the op did say that he also uses Sanyo 20700Bs. We all know where you stand...
