Poldiac Clone

[Elantis]

The Kraken DOES look pretty great on top of the Poldiac.
Here's my clone combo.

Yes it does look amazing!

I have the 69. It's kind of a pain to fiddle with. The 510 connector has a habit of backing out causing it not to fire. I remember when I first got it it wouldn't fire either but it didn't take much to get it to work. I wish I remember exactly what I did to . be more helpful to you.

You can always hit me up with questions. I can use my 69 as a reference to help you out.

Thanks much for the offer...I will take you up on that when I have time to get to it.

Guys, does anybody knows where's the place to put the 2 small magnets?!....
I guess one of them I need to glue to the end of the plastic button, but I don't see any place to hold the other magnet :X

One of the magnets goes into the hole in the insert. It is pushed all. The way into the back. The other magnet is glued in reverse polarity to the other magnet to the end of the button post. Use super glue. Take that pin out of the button and replace it with an equal diameter and length copper pin polished all the way around. The pin makes contact with the SIDES of the pin screws you are showing on the right hand side of the above pic.

if you look at the button it has a hole in it made for the pin. this hole is at the far end of a channel. there are two channels on opposite sides of the button. these channels are made for the ends of the pin screws to sit in. when you push the button the pin meets up and contacts the sides of the pins.

When reassembling it you put the loose magnet in first, then the button and hold it in place (it'll want to pop out on you) while you screw down the first screw pin then the second to complete the switch assembly.

Does this make sense?

Thanks for the super quick response!
Lets skip the copper pin replacement for now, until I finish glueing the 2 small magnets
So one of them will be glued to the end of the plastic button (the other side of course, the one that goes into the button "house".

And what about the second small magnet (the one that looks the same), do I need to glue it anywhere?

 

[bce22]

No, push it all the way in the hole to the far side of the insert. It'll stay. Remember the magnets want to push each other away.

At. Least polish up that existing pin. When installed correctly in the button it should fit flush without the ends sticking out at all. The ends do not make the connection. If they are sticking out beyond the plastic button it could catch on the insert and cause the button to not engage smoothly.

Does this make sense to you? I the reason I ask is that I am typing on my tablet and sometimes things don't come across clear.

Edit: I have to sign off for the night. I'll check this thread again first thing in the AM. Sorry if you need more assistance now

By all means address that pin in the button one way or another while your in there. I use super glue gel very sparingly for the button magnet.

 

[VapinSweetZ]

I probably placing the other magnet in the wrong place because it pops out and get to the other magnet in the second i'm trying to put the button back in the button-housing...

Use another magnet, like a fridge magnet, to hold the loose magnet against the back while assembling.

Or, once again

Watched that before but @1:27 the 2nd magnet pop out of the plastic frame to the first magnet, it doesnt just stays in there :<
Unfortunately I cannot think about any other magnet I have at home to keep it in place...

Should I maybe glue the 2nd magnet to the inside of the plastic? I should be very easy I think...

If the magnet is dead center inside the housing is tends not to flip over.
It's not a bad idea to put a dot with a Sharpie on the magnets on opposing sides. Glue it if you wish, just be sure to not glue is with wrong polarity.

Gluing the magnet to the back of the switch housing? Sounds difficult. Getting a third magnet is probably the easiest solution.

DONT glue the internel magnet. i have several original poldiacs. all you need to do is drop it in and ut your button on the back outside of the housing and the magnet will flip the proper direction. DO NOT FOR ANY REASON let the internal magnet slap into the button magnet or the button magnets glue will break loose.

It's super easy, there is a video on MMvapor web site showing how to do it.
I gave one to my wife and I think she is vaping more than me, at least as far as ml"s a day. I found a black speck on one of the screw in contacts that was causing a poor connection. I had to use a magnifying glass to find it "cause I missed it the first time.

Sheets the video Craig. I can't find it. I'm finally going to try and get this thing working for my wife

I still think using a third magnet to hold the outside one while assembling easiest, although I have done it this way. I remain amazed by the complexity of the switch. (At the risk of sounding like a heretic, I have found the 69's simple switch more practical. )
