Polishing

Removal of Patination

Patination can occur on brass, copper and some stainless steel surfaces can be easily removed from battery contacts, external surfaces such as tube mods or atomizer barrels. This can improve issues such as hot buttons, improved battery life, and improvements in the operation consistency of your device. Please note that removal of patination will be guaranteed, but will return after a certain time depending on the type of material. This can be prevented or delayed by the application of clear coating. Patination can also damage your device and although the patina can be removed, damage cannot. We will not be responsible for any corrosive damage that has been caused by the process of patination.

Sand Blasting

Terminal and Switch Upgrades

Our workshop can source most types of upgrade parts such as terminal screws providing better coil conductivity, better corrosion resistance and/or better ways to fasten coils to terminals. This is essential to reduce the risk of fluctuating resistance values along coils, coil shorts or reduced coil life, hot buttons. reduce issues of corrosion and overall better life for your device. New type temperature controlled devices rely heavily on solid contact points.

We can also replace or upgrade most type of switch magnets if required. Due to the many types of products on the market, some replacement parts may be unable to be sourced due to non-standard sizing, obsolete parts etc.

Thread & Contact Cleaning

Cleaning of threading and contacts not only improves conductivity, but also the smooth operation of your device. Screwing on atomizers, changing tube lengths, button adjustment can all be affected by patination (see above), general use, and arc debris that builds up over time. foreign build up of materials can damage delicate threading on your mods or atomizers, making it harder to use your device or in worse cases, fail completely.

Sending Batteries with your Devices

When sending in devices to be repaired, if your device uses more than two batteries and/or batteries larger than 18650, we recommend that you also send these with your device in protective non-conductive packaging. This also allows us to determine if there may be an internal battery issue or fitment of batteries used within the mod. This can also be beneficial in cases where multiple batteries are used, where issues such as defective or out of specification batteries may be causing operation problems. This also allows us to confirm that your batteries provide the correct operation required for your device.

Ensure that batteries are removed from the device and are separately packaged in a suitable protective, non-conductive packaging when being sent for refinishing services.
