Hey guys,
I own two Tinymights since 11/2020 (only using one multiple times every day, the other is reserve), and now, some days ago, it got me:
Tinymight did not heat correctly, and told me it reached temp within 3s (normally 6s), and only gave slightly too cold hits.
So i disassembled it and noticed the slightly "dull" surface of the contact-groove (in the top-lid with the battery-plug).
Seemed somehow tarnished, oxidized.
So i just took a cutter and did scratch that groove veeery slightly with the tip (no visible scratches built up, the surface just gives a shiny silver finish now). Grinding with a 1000-1200 grid should give similar results.
Then i reassembled it and BAM, it hits like the first time
Seems like some nickel-plating would be fine in that groove... Or just gold-plating for the whole aluminum-parts
Notetoself: Ask the jeweler how much that might cost
A low-cost-version could also be just a thin layer of vaseline... In eastern-germany they used that for preventing oxidation at aluminum-cable-contacts, also at clamp-connections, proven for decades.
I can't tell you, how much i love my Tinymight...!!!
Is there any news about the electronics update people were talking about SOME time ago here?
Maybe someone can tell me what would be a good keyword to look for? English is not my first language, so the search is a bit exhausting for me. At least this late at night
Thanks in advance!
