SD MK11

[Perpetua]

I wonder if you need to stretch the spring out a bit Foxy, if it's got a bit compressed over time . . . I think that was what Dee did to get hers up and running efficiently again . . . and it's something Imeo always suggests doing.

Cheers Perpy. I've 'stretched' the spring at the atty connection end - I shall trot off and give the button spring a tug also. Fingers crossed.

I never thought of the button spring until Dee mentioned it.

PS: A big up to Perpy - both springs duly stretched and the SDII is vaping like new again. Fox xxxxxxxxxxx

Got yer, I've only had problems with the bottom spring on the switch. I do use vaseline on the threads to stop them sounding like a cat being strangled lol

When you say you've had trouble with the spring, in what way?

I've just started using my SDII again after a break and am having problems getting it to fire up the atty consistently. I'm finding I'm having to press really hard on the button sometimes and am now wondering if perhaps the spring needs replacing.

I keep the SD scrupulously clean and the batteries are in good order.

Any other suggestions?

Foxy unscrew the switch and pull the spring out a bit. This is what was happening iwith mine, the spring was getting so that it wasn't connecting properly, since I've found that out I've not had any problems at all with mine.

Occasionally take the switch apart and tease the spring out more.

That does look the business Prof Your SD looks far better than mine, I've dropped mine so many times it's starting to change shape

Cheers Dee - you were out-fumbled by Perpy and now I is a happy vaper once more.

Yes - "old faithful" is 2 years 3 months old now and looking good for his age I think...
