caravela clone switch

[Deleted]

Just keeps getting loose......and then shorting (cos it's loose)

Any ideas folks? Spring I think is ok

[glen]

Could the spring have become weak @johanino, because of the shorting, is it a fuse spring, possibly started to collapse,

Don't know if the do Caravella switches @johanino but worth a try!

If you havent fixed it when you come to your next edinburgh vape meet, then bring it along @johanino , I'll replace the spring with a stronger one and tighten the switch for you. You can try mine out first to be sure you like it.

I could maybe do it myself thatguy if you could possibly pm me where you got the spring from?

Thanks guys

I use pliers to tighten the internal contact screw. if you unlock the switch
then push the button you should get enough sticking out to get hold of the end.
If its not done up tight then it works loose when you swap batteries.

I'm so trying this markm....

Sure I can fit a £1 better screwdriver into vape budget (or may have one at home) to tighten the internal screw....

Happy Days!!!

My switch regularly works loose, and I do as markm suggests and tweak it up tight with my fingers. It works particularly when I have a slightly longer battery in the mod. Perhaps I should add a drop of Loctite, but that will prohibit me from disassembling it occasionally to clean out the trouser-fur from inside the mechanism!

You guys are beginning to get your wee heads around my vape budget

Now to find that screwdriver . It's better since mini tightening but not there yet - but want to use this rather than the magneto cos the magneto join is causing problems with my thumb (skin peeling off/getting hardened )

Thanks so much!!!

Awe chappies...

I managed to get a very hot battery yesterday just by not taking care.

Ordered new batteries from myepack and new springs from@toby

So here's hoping my caravela works well soon because I have to say I prefer it to my magneto

But yeah - never a dull moment in my life LOL and that's without a life sentence (marriage) and kids

New springs (silver bullet hot spring and another cone hot spring) - not fit - so have ordered a janty hot spring - hoping it fits with me having so many problems with the shorting

and they're out of stock prr - think I might need thatguy's services next edinbubble vape meet . Will make a change to get something vaping related rather than china/charity shop buys LOL

But thanks....new springs came today from ivapour - doesn't fit (too small perhaps?)

Awe another spring for the vape box

[prr]

OK, @johanino plan b, myepack are selling them at £9.99 in their clearance section, that is for the whole mod!
