Mini Mags take several maint procedures:

* Unscrew the tail cap. Use a cotton swab (Q-tip) and a little oil to clean
the threads, internal and external.
* PUll the little spring out of the tail cap. Clean that, and the hole where
it fits.


I found no hole in the 2aa lite. Just a round spring designed to
contact the round area in the cap.


My 2AA has a cavity underneath the spring in the end cap, where a bit of
foam surrounds a spare bulb. The spring pops out with a good pull.
