What Did You Change?

[madhero]

Hmm, so even i make the setup "non leaking" but the condensation still make it "leaking"?

Is there anything i can do about this?

Where is it leaking from? I've got fixes for leaks from air draw hole and top cap threading.

Stick a small tube into your air draw hole from the inside. find one that fits since everyone has different sizes of air draw.

And the positioning? As close to the wick as possible?

Not necessary. Just don't let that protrusion touch your wick. It's there just to prevent condensation from leaking out from your air draw hole.

Ahhh! So it doesn't prevent condensation but prevents the leak from condensation. Good idea!

Don't think anything can prevent condensation short of having your atty stop producing vapor.

Well condensation and vapor go hand in hand doesn't it? But that's what we want, vapors, nic and nothing much else.

Here's what I did to my ZAG & GG



Cannibalized a spring from battery boxes and cut off 2 coils. screw everything together with a M4 plain washer and a M5 nut. All materials are SS



Dremel one end of a 5x15mm 6A fast break cartridge fuse to fit the original spring holder. paste clear tape over the other end just enough to insulate the fuse from the spring holder.

[Domtine]

I remove mine from those 2xAA boxes you can buy at SLT.

Usually the springs from a cheapo pen works wonders in such.

File off the pointed end , drill a hole, tap it and use a cheese head brass screw.

How isit working with that modification?

Working great. No misfire, adjustable button pin to your own preference of travel. Short travel or long travel while pressing the button to fire up.
Brass better conductivity, cheese head screw bigger contact area.
