Adjustable/Floating Center Pin

[MrsMustang]

I am on the hunt for PV's with adjustable or floating center pins. I have been looking at mech mod's and VV mod's(i would perfer one of each) to replace my Vamo V1 that is currently on life support. I did just get a SVD but want another VV device to use as a back-up. I have been on the hunt over the past several days scouring websites for devices and see most often they do not mention if the center pin is fixed or adjustable. Using so many different kinds of tanks and rba's on my Vamo the center pin barely makes contact with 1/2 my tanks anymore. Any suggestions on devices is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Well, you can pry up the center pin of your vamo very carefully to get it to work with your other tanks again.

The floating pin on my SVD pretty much rocks. I'd be curious to see what other mods have this feature.

Same here, everything I've tried works fine on the SVD, can't beat the price either at Fasttech.

Ya, amazing device for $37.

Can anyone explain what a fully adjustable center pin is? Like if a mech has a fully adjustable center pin is there a way to raise and lower it without prying it up? Also are those the preferred center pins of choice? If not what is? Tia for any clarifications.

A fully adjustable center pin is threaded, it looks and acts just like a screw. Some devices I've seen, like the Chi-You have fancier ones. Both my Magneto and Nemesis have the screw style setup. This is a replacement pin for the Nemesis, cleanest picture I could find.

My SVD has a spring loaded floating pin. A lot less hassle to adjust but when those springs go out then the device is dead. At least without tearing it apart. Not as big of an issue with mechanicals to replace but most of the high end mods that I've checked out skip the spring loaded floating pin to avoid the possibility of a short, which a vv mod negates since it has the circuitry to detect and stop a short.

Threaded sounds very nice. I have a vamo and it died from prying too much, wire came off pin. I have the svd too works amazing same pin though but the grommet is better and with the protank beauty cone its impossible to wear out pin . Now i have a sentinel v3 and private v2 on the way and both have threaded center pins i believe. Sounds a lot easier and more solid to have a threaded center pin that when i break i can replace with a cheap replacement pin. What problems if any hasn't you had with the chi you so far? Or any mod for that matter. Do you think sentinel v3 was a smart choice for someone new to mods. I hear they're pretty solid with only few hiccups. Let me know what your experience has been. Thanks Morningstar!

Just wanted to point out that an adjustable floating pin doesn't necessarily have to be threaded. A good example is my MKB-TS. It is free floating, where only the friction from the insulator keeps it from being too loose. I attatch an atty just a few turns, then push the center pin up to meet its pin, then screw the atty until flush where it pushes the center pin down to the proper setting. Works like a charm.

The SVD is great and awesome for the price. You can also look into Tesla from iVape which has a floating center pin as well. FYI it's 2x the price, around $70-80 compared to the SVD. Good luck!

Yep... same deal with the Nzonic V3. Works a treat. ;-)

The Tesla has a spring loaded center pin. And it is slotted but I don't know if it's height adjustable - never had to try it. IMO it has a great connector.

I have no problem with what I paid for my Tesla. It's a brick. I don't know what you would have to do to break one.

Mmmm... send it to me for a week?

Don't do it.. It's the eyes..

An entire week even?

Well... the dog gets it for the last 4 days, if I can't do it in the first 3. ;-)
