AGA-T qustion/ problem?

[AMUP0121]

So I have been waiting for 2 days for my AGA-t to come in the mail and today it finally arrived. I actually left work early to get home and give this thing a try. I have been reading up on it all week with anticipation. I haven't really seen any major issues with it reported so I just went at it. I have some 400 mesh that I used with some 32g a-1 kanthal to make the coil. I built it the way I have been with the "Griffin" aka DUD what have you, and when I went to put it on my chrome lavatube, the center pin was turning with the connector. I went ahead and unscrewed it and the 510 connector was loose from the bottom of the atomizer. I was able to screw it back on, but it wasnt tight and could easily turn. Is this just the small nut at the top not being tight all the way, allowing it to turn or is there something wrong with the atty itself? I didn't really get a chance to mess with it yet, I had to go back to work. I am going to tear it apart when I get home to have a better look, just wanted to know if there were any other issues with the 510 connector or what.

yeah it's just that little nut on the top . . .you can take that whole post apart and the middle post comes out and you can clean the whole thing real good. . .it's no big deal you just have to tighten that small nut on top

Thanks for the reply. That is good to hear. I was worried that it was another Chinese QC issue. I am getting ready to head home to take another look at it shortly.

Everytime I tryed to tighten it on my lavatube it would pull the wire and wick tighter towards the center.

there are three nuts on that center post the top two hold the coil . . .so you only want to tighten the bottom one . . .when i first got mine they were all stuck together and hard to move at all so I had to take it all apart take them completely off the centerpost and then put it all back together

I always build my coils with the unit already screwed onto the PV I'm going to use it on. It eliminates the possibility of shifting of the coil, which can as a result of removing and reinstalling. I have several PVs, each with it's own Genny on it. The only time they come off is for cleaning.

one time i tried to unscrew the tank before undoing the center post screws and the wick and coils drew closer to the center post.

On my aga-t....I took the extra nut out of the bag and used all of them.

So now I have 4 nuts on the center post. I use 3 of them tighten down, and just unscrew the top one and put my coil under it.
It really helps stop all of them from moving around, since the center post is fully covered. No more turning the top one, and the 2nd one also turns. With all 4 on the post...they only can go down so far and then get tight.

Either that, or you can do the spring/washer mod that some people are doing. I actually tried it...and prefer the 4 nuts.
It just felt a little more solid.

I've added a very small flat washer under to bottom nut because it seems to want to go inside the grommet when you tighten it down otherwise.
