Hey y'all! I recently purchased a Dominator rda, and for the most part it's absolutely the perfect dripper for my personal preferences. Aside from one annoying factor, the vendor I bought it from screwed me over, and when I received it the middle-post would rotate...just what you want to see on a $100 no returns purchase. So ignoring some of my brain cells, I decided to tighten the middle post slightly, and I feel it give after a reasonable amount of effort.
I stripped the soft silver 510 connectors threads, and I think as well as the actual positive posts threads (to be honest I can't tell which, but I didn't care for the "push and shoot style wire connection anyway, so I'd planned on switching the positive post for a screw-down). LUCKILY my plans for this were to remove the awesome dual-positive post from my brass monkee rda (carefully in case it didn't work, even though they are nearly the same diameter).
And as you can see below it was an epic success, 2 positive posts for even dual current, with at least one solid anchor for my coils, as well as the easy-as-all-hell "push and shoot" negative posts, it's a dream to build on, and is without-a-doubt my favorite setup for the year.
And here's the parts that came out of the Dominator, and the gutted brass monkee, which I will miss
...until I buy a clone and swap it's positive post into the trusty'ol girl. Not sure if it will help, but why not.
So my question is basically, what do you guys recommend for stopping the up-and-down sliding issue? Is there a good "universal" post washer out there, or something similar? I'm currently researching what size washers these posts have to find one, however the BM's washers fit great (I measured beforehand, I didn't wing it lol), and it's not sliding up and down like crazy, in fact it's quite hard to move, but I find about ever 2 hours or so, there's a noticable drop in connection, and even "short-like" heat coming from the connection between the post and mechanical mod. All I do is back out my battery, push down the positive post just a hair, and re-screw my mechanical back together, and it vapes amazingly, no problems until it decides to just "meh" on the connection an hour or so later.
-Got any tips, tricks, or part recommendations on keeping this post in place? I'd even be willing to use a type of solder, or electrical safe adhesive etc. to hold this thing in place. My favorite mechanicals are fully adjustable so I'm not worried about the dominator not adjusting, it never did anyway.
Thanks so much in advance!
