A just mechs thread story.
Above you will see @DarthBranMuffin with a Furyan. He very kindly PIF that to me along with a Tauren solo ( bloody scary how much a bloke you have never met knows about you just from a few comments on the forum
) Thank you my friend, much appreciated
Upon receiving said Furyan and having done some previous research I knew that it had a flaw. A design flaw that is much talked about on the interweb. This being the amount of throw the switch has, which sometimes is a bit iffy and can lead to hot switches and batteries.
Of course I had to strip it down and wrap my head around what could cause such a thing. It hit me straight away and was further confirmed when I watched Mooch's voltage drop test on the Furyan. The contact surfaces do not mate nicely and to accommodate the safety switch the throw is long.
If the contact is soft then you are going to get voltage loss which will leak into the surrounding metal and convert to heat.
The nut on the underside of the 510 pin is interesting. It has flat sides but also a chamfered corner. Turning the nut so the contact surface on the firing pin hits this corner equals a much shorter throw and considerably less pressure needed to ensure a good contact.
So this is how I have set this Furyan up. It hits instantly and hard. Having used it over the weekend, the 21700 lasts until I decide to charge it and even an 18650 is giving me a long time. This I put down to having far less voltage loss than you may normally have with a soft contact.
To prove no fluke I have used both the Tauren solo and the V1.5 loop with much success and satisfaction
