I'm a bit leery, I have button issues with my SP2. Will be waiting to see what others think this time.

I have 'button' issues with my SP2 as well, and I have tried two adaptors for 510 threading but not one seems to give a consistent connection...still, at the price this mod sells for it's a deal.

I have 'button' issues with my SP2 as well, and I have tried two adaptors for 510 threading but not one seems to give a consistent connection...still, at the price this mod sells for it's a deal.

I have found that whenever using a 510 adapter I would have to go in and push the center pin on the SP's connector all the way "out" (towards the top of the threads) and then screw the adapter on. I never had connection problems if I did that first. Also had to do that when changing 801 cartos/attys between brands.

I'm trying to get another set of end caps for the sp2............The site was down last week, are they selling the old end caps on their site?

I got an email that said they will be "selling (or giving) SP2 parts on an individual basis, but the SP3 is offered at such a pow price to encourage upgrading." Couldn't hurt to ask...

I just got an sp3 kit but did't get any instructions with it so if someone can chime in here I would appreciate it. First what atomizer is it 801 or 510 and there was a gold colored screw looking thing on the inside when I removed the foam is this suppose to stay inside the tube or are you suppose to remove it. If anyone knows please give me a shout

Here is my "Po Man's" GG / AVS... :) The Thermo works well as long as you keep it maintained and clean. The Liquinator tank with a 510 IkenVape Gold 510 carto, throws out tons of rich vapor.... :vapor: I like to use this rig when I'm doing something which I wouldn't want to tackle with my more expensive mods.. ;)

Bringing this thread back from the dead!
Just wanted to report I got my sometimes working/sometimes not working SP2 out of the drawer and tried h8isgr8's button fix and my SP2 now works flawlessly!

I find that the SP2 works best with an Ikenvape LR Fusion Cartomizer and an AW IMR 16340 3.7V 550mAh battery.

If anyone has any SP2 top caps or end buttons they do not want, I'll gladly take them.
Also, I have 2 thermo tubes that I do not use if anyone would like those, just let me know.

Thanks for posting the button fix and resurrecting my SP2!

... If you want to mod the the tailcap/switch so that the inner contact area pushes in a little further, do this......

1) Remove the top and the battery, leaving just the tailcap and tube together.
2) Put the tube, tailcap up, on a hard surface.
3) Use a stiff non-marring object like a pen to press firmly on the button until the nylon insert, spring, and button pop out.
4) Bend the end of both side of the springs like in the pic below (careful, it can easily puncture your skin).....

5) Reassemble

That will allow the spring to compress further allowing the button end to stick out a little more, like this......
