Finally Raised My Centre Pin (s)

[kirsty0108]

Finally braved it and decided that the Black Riva Battery's that were behaving badly needed to be exposed to my man-handling or put in the bin. Raised the Pin and they are now performing better than ever.

Thanks again Macca for posting this you tube link that showed me how easy it is

I also found that the best non-conductible "tool" for doing this was a cuticle stick , seriously I am glad I'm a girl so handy when it comes to vaping tools .......

pps those primark hair thingies I posted the other day are working well as rubber bit for my DT's

What's a cuticle stick?
Is it a pleasantly coloured cocktail stick?

It's a professional tool to be used by only by seasoned pros..

To the rest of us it's a slim piece of wood sharpened at the end..

Sorry that you killed your battery..

I was looking for some dead batteries Kirsty..PM sent. If I can fix them, I'll post it back to you..

[Perpetua]

That's very kind of you Macca. . . if anyone can fix it for you Kirsty, Macca can.

He's breathed new life into my deaded Stardust for me.

[kirsty0108]

I know Perpy he didn't even want an sae just said he'd send them back if he fixed em going g to send him some juice on Monday tho

[maccafan]

I have got them K..

I opened the black/gold one up and the cable going to the body/cap is completely charred. Was this the one you melted that cart with?

Also the silicone washer separating the center pin from the earth has a big gash in it. You've really been pushing back the cuticles on this one haven't you?
