    i had lemo 2 which works fine with all my mods
    but the Sigelei 150 tc couldn't read the lemo 2 but it does when i use 510 connector
    is that common in Sigelei 150 tc to have short center pin ?


    You are the first to have this issue that I am aware of.

    The mounting point for the pin is what matters not the deck height. The deck hieght is raised up for devices that take air in from below.

    i wish you get what i mean by using those images


    I know what you are talking abt. Take the Sigelei down to the shop and try out all the tops....if your device remains the only issue, then I'd say you've solved the problem. I do not work for Sigelei. It works for all my devices, and you are the only complaint that I've heard so far.

    You added that airflow ring, yes? That's why you're having trouble. Sigelei didn't design it to have one. You made the threaded part taller so that is why the pin is now too short.

    You need to remove the airflow ring. If your atty needs bottom airflow then you need a mod that has that, or you should replace the entire 510 connector on the mod.

    No, i didn't add any thing it's like that by default but any way thanks to you roxynoodle and thanks a lot Tommy-Chi problem solved by adding a tiny piece of metal between 2 connectors of the lemo 2 to push the pin out a little bit and thank God it works it can now touch the sigelei center pin

    It is a common problem with 510 connections;
    No problem with adjustable centerpin 510 mods, but many regulated mods still use fixed centerpin; the centerpin tends to get pressed down.
