THE focal cig nemi

[decoy]

is anyone elce finding the bottom switch on this a bit hit and miss (i may have a bodge for you)
the locking ring is stainless so the horrible gold plate can be sanded off however the air control ring is made of brass so it has a chrome like coating under the gold then the brass so becarefull on that
anybody know were to get a strong spring for it as ive tried magnets and they not strong nuff for me
this is now my work mod and im going to try the hagar one when funds permit (sis in laws weddin next week)
thanks for the help 

(will prob get shouted at for the bodge but almost makes the switch like butter and 100% fire rate

Here's how I improved mine

enjay i did all that after seeing your reply in a tread were you said you sanded the plastic bit i started with that also found the pin was to long so sanded that and stretched the spring but it was still sticking, so i came up with the bodge of folding over tin foil 3 times and wraping it most of the way round the center pin of the switch leaving a cupple of mm over the top.Folded the extra over the top so when the center pin is screwed in it holds it in place if that makes sense.Will make up a copper bush when back in work and i know its a bit heat robinson but it works for now

and waits to get shot

[enjay]

As long as it works! I was thinking of buying a genuine switch, it's about £14 plus delivery but I'm going to wait and see your bush first (ooh err)

it will only be some thin bent steal wrapped round center pin,it was just doin my head in sticking every now and then.Give the tinfoil a try if i could find an old tin box idd try that but i think the tin might be to thick(on the hunt for a cheap tin of mints lol)

good excuse to empty a can of beer lmao

[enjay]

Being posh my beer is in bottles but thankfully the wife isn't posh and has tins so I nicked one lol

It's obviously not as loose but maybe a bit tight, not sure yet, the jury is still out

[decoy]

i think its because the can is ally and to soft, im gona try and find some thin copper sheet know i know what thickness is needed

Yeh I've seen copper tin somewhere, almost as thin as foil but stronger. Another thing I wondered about is maybe a slightly thicker pin, you can see it's fairly loose in the hole. I think maybe smoothing the bottom cap centre part with fine wet and dry then using a thicker pin might do the job nicely.

Here decoy, when I bought my hcigar nemesis off ebay it came with magnets fitted and the original springs in the box, I completely forgot about this little one.



With that fitted it stands up no bother without firing with a russian on it.

I wonder if you can buy the hcigar springs on their own, they're a lot stiffer than the ones in the focal job.
