510 pin GAHHH

big dripper (tobeco) wont work on shenxi panzer blackhawk

doesnt sit flush and when i adjust the the topcaps connection it wont fire

it worked sporadicly if i pushed it around once it was threaded only after i shoved an o ring of an old atomizer head on top of the black insulator around the metal part. not sure if that had anything to do with it, because the drippers 510 is fixed and i though it was shorting since my kick stopped it from firing

its the dripper to blackhawk connection thats the problem since my mini nautilus works on the blkhwk and the dripper works on everything else... and sits flush.

i worry i may have pushed the insulator down too far on accident...

what can i do?

Subbed. Love The Big Dripper. Use it all the time.

The center pin on the black hawk is very tight.
It just needs to push up and make a good contact with the atomizer

the panzer Blackhawk does not have adjustable centerpin??

Most tube mechs have adjustable centerpin;
you take the topcap of the mech off
back out the centerpin screws on the topcap of the mech
screw on your topper onto the topcap of the mech
screw centerpin screw.

after that, it's a question of whether you have battery rattle; if yes, then that's what the second screw (screw on the screw) is for.

Panzer I dont think is a double pin. Screw atty on, press pin from bottom hard till it makes contact as the panzer is very tight, its a floating pin. Then you use the screw for battery rattle. Or you press the pin all the way up screw the atty all the way down then adjust for battery rattle.

Its a floating pin I just looked.

it is too tight to adjust it to the correct depth. should i torque the heck out of the BD until it fits like it should

No; I think the problem is the mod; check if it is a floating centerpin or

if it's a fixed centerpin, I'd say just forget it.

To my mind a mech that has a fixed centerpin is a piece of junk.

Any authentic panzer or 1:1 has a floating positive pin, but as people have mentioned it is typically extremely tight.
To make adjustment easier (/possible in some cases) unscrew the rattle adjustment screw and put the top cap from your panzer in the freezer for 5-10 min, then push the top cap against a hard surface to push the pin up to its maximum height (the pin + insulator will be flush on the underside of the top cap). Screw your atty on, you should feel it make contact with the + pin. You can screw the atty down flush at this point but be careful of the torque you apply to the threads.
Depending on the manufacturing tolerances on your panzer the positive pin may be able to travel past flush on the underside, or may not be able to sit flush on the underside. As the blackhawk panzers are coated, the mill out for the + pin + insulator may have been coated, which would reduce the pin travel as the insulator and pin are both conical.

thank you so much

Gotta love the tech-savvy of the mech forum that's nowhere to be found in the VV mod forum.
