My fairly new Mini 2.0 is shooting off sparks between the battery top and the firing pin.
Help!

Dan:
I'm using 3mm, probably around 2- 2 1/2 inches with 32 wire. (Made a couple coils earlier with 36 at around 3.2 and one a little higher.) I moved the wick around on all three of them plus positioned the air hole at almost every degree of the compass. The vape is just fine with them but the draw is way too tight for my taste.
I like the way my Fatty can be adjusted with just a turn of the nut. I figured I'd try a pin file so I can open it a fraction at a time. I'd really have to go overboard for it to get too airy. Other than the draw I like it very much, easy to build. I did have to turn the post OUT on one of them a bit before it would fire on the Grand or VV Grand although it worked on my ProVari's.
I haven't set up the second one yet but the post is already out a bit farther.

sounds like you should contact Rob i dont know what to say or maybe lisa or Wayne can help you
Alright, it's two against one and I'm easily influenced. I'll let it go for a couple days and keep playing with it. If I find the magic spot for the draw great or if I get used to the tight draw great too. If neither happen I'll try opening it just a tad.

KAY thats not a problem, if the spring is not collapsed. when the firing pin touches the battery top you are completing an electric circuit.
as long as it is vaping and not actually shooting sparks a little is normal. [ although you normally need to be in a dark room to see it
thanks Colt...it's scary to see sparks, tho, when i press the firing pin! ( I have the door off, that's how i see it)
And my other mini2.0 wasn't firing, either, so i checked it and the damn spring was collapsed.
BTW, I use the recommended AW IMR 18490's.

kay if you're really worried about it you can get a fuse that goes up against the battery to stop a short .
i think sterno has these.

Glad to hear it, Justice! And i hope the munchkin had a great birthday!
I talked to him via phone earlier and desrcribed all the stuff, then i noticed that the firing pin looked broken. So I vaped on the other one, then realized i needed to put some Noalox back on the first one....and it started working!
But then the second one's spring collapsed!
kay do you have any extra springs ? they're easy to change on any aluminum reo except the VV
just a simple philips head screw

Spoilt rotten big time he got 3 different ride on type toys plus tons of other goodies hes not gonna sleep tonight i think he keeps checking all his new toys
yes i do! I'll see if i have a small enough screww driver. I'm just going crazy trying to figure what I'm doing so wrong to make one Reo spark, and another Reo have the spring collapse, all in about a couple hours.
Oh, and I sent my new Vv and my wood to Rob just last Fri. cuz i collapsed the spring on the wood and I guess I messed up the gasket under the connector from tightening down the ERA that Pietro had me try when he was here.
So now I'm down to ONE Reo!!!!! Oh...woe is me
