Hot Springs

OK Question: Can you reuse a hot spring after it's collapsed? ie: Can you stretch it back out and would it collapse again if you got a short?

 

from my GG days,when its cooked its all over

My Reo Grand's spring collapsed once. It was not holding the AW IMR 18650 battery as it was supposed to. I have tried stretching it, and continued using it until the replacement came. But, i was getting a funny flavour using the old collapsed spring, and it went away with the new one. Better get a new spring.

 

Yeah I think I better. It's still working but I would hate to get another short and it doesn't collapse the way it should. Cheers

 

Here's a hot spring for you mate, might be a bit of a problem to fit though...

 

Yes, you could reuse it but the temper in the spring has changed so I would only reuse until I obtained a replacement.

 

Couldn't agree with GTadmin more. Sometime mid last century, I had relationships with a lot of electrical/electronic devices with springs, clips and a dazzling variety of mechanical connections. Once the buggers got bent out of shape or suffered real heat stress they were always on rotation for first replacement.

 

I think if I tried really really hard. Ah maybe not.

 

Timely topic ckane. The spring in my pipe collapsed a couple of weeks ago after a dodgy attempt at making a 510 extension. I stretched it back out a bit and it works but I don't trust it. Romaniac sent a new spring in my latest package so I will be changing it ASAP.

 

Happened on my Roller which is a bugger the shipping costs and all. Was thinking I might try and use the spring out of my Bolt I think it is a hot spring.

 

If it's the right length and diameter, it should work ck. One from the PAPS perhaps?

 

Its a pretty big spring GT. That's why I was thinking the bolt.

 

Oh okay, I didn't know the sizes

 

Paps is long gone GT

 

If it's a roller mate, why not get one of those resettable short stops, about $15 and you will never have to buy another hotspring around 7Amp trip if memory serves.
a combined shipping co-op for these might go down well here if you fancy saving on postage

 

I'm all ears SV. Where would one purchase such a gizmo?

 

These I think, but it needs ten char!!

You would still need a spring to use that ?

 

Yes--------------------

 

I think you could bridge the gap with magnets be.comse the fuse would take the place of the hot spring and do its job instead.
