yes that's it the non-perfectly aligned bf holes in the bottom of the center post!
Mine are def lined up nicely, just double checked under decent lighting and with magnifier. Under bad lighting mine were starting to look a bit like the post had been twisted slightly but it's been a long day at work and I know not to trust my old eyes even on a good day.

It doesn't appear the center post is screwed in and is only press fit. Should be possible to twist it into the correct position but I can understand not wanting to try it and risk snapping it off.

In your bf post pics, the first is definitely facing at an angle, but the second looks to be a bit more centered. I can't trust my eyes, but does the bf hole even look drilled straight through in one clean hole?

The lineup of the bf hole to the wire hole to me seems a moot point, it's designed to fill the well not squirt the coil. If your wire hole is twisted then I'd stick an Allen key in the bf hole and rotate it. I would however be really ...... about the chipped ring. I have a reo so I don't plan on using this as a bf.

I just got My Zenith in the mail and after 3 months of waiting I'm not happy with mine Zenith. 3 out of my 4 mods I have I can't screw 510. My Authentic Hana V3, The Copper by Scottua, and Vape tech Pegauss. Neither will screw in far. There is about 1 mm gap and I tried cleaning threads (btw my 510 threads were absolutely gunky), but it didn't help. I'm very disappointed at CMI and Carlo. Only mod it sits good is my ProVari, but for my usage this will not be enough. Isaac, I also sent you an email and I can send some pictures as well to show you. How can we remedy this one?

Can one of you guys post a pic of your threads that won't tighten down? I'm curious since mine seem fine. And I have a vapor tek pegasus clone that both mine work great with. Did either of you with 510/thread issues replace the bf screw with the standard screw by chance?

Photo of threads is below ... I have tried threading onto my devices with both the bf pin and standard pin. Notice how the standard pin sticks out a bit. That is as far as it will thread onto the Zenith. The bf pin is fine and sits a lot lower as expected. Does anyone else have this issue with the standard pin?

Mine sticks out as well but my nem clone is adjustable. you could grind a smidgen off the threaded end to make it sit deeper. granted none of these mods should be needed on a 100+ dollar atty... im happy with mine but won't be buying authentic gear any more!

Lol, now I'm afraid to receive my package and see how mine turned out :(. This is definitely the first and last "high end" authentic I purchase. Just awful how some of yours arrived. I hope mine is ok. The drama never ends.

Funny thing, I asked Isaac 2 months ago if he could ship mine through UPS instead of USPS because I always have bad experiences with the post office either losing packages or delivering them weeks later. So when Isaac was shipping out, he asked me if I still wanted UPS, but I'd have to pay extra, or just take USPS and he'd have signature required and he'd ship it out right then. Of course me being excited to get it I said USPS is fine, as long as I have to sign for it. Welp, almost as if to spite me for saying I have bad experiences with them, seems like they've done it yet again. Package was supposed to be delivered today, wasn't here with my mail. But when I look at the tracking info, it updated only for the first night of activity, and then once it left PA it suddenly stopped tracking updates. This is exactly whats happened to me the many other times USPS have either lost my package or delivered it weeks later after they spontaneously found my package somewhere.

Ugh. And then I come here and find several people have some serious quality control issues. :unsure:

I just want to thank Isaac one more time for coming through. Since this bad girl isn't fitting flush or hell minimum of 1mm gap on all of my atty s, Isaac will do exchange for me. Thanks again brother. Hopefully replacement will have better 510 connection. Now waiting game yet again ;)

Probably not they seem to all be the same 510. I have the same issue.

According to Isaac's email, CMII responded to him as "These threads are tested on a stingray clone and an authentic one. there's absolutely no way to test them for all the mods." I understand where CMII is coming from, but if my 3 mods are not able to thread in atty, and few others that replied over the last day or so. I think it's unacceptable for manufacturer to test their 510 on 1 mod really Clone or Authentic and assume it would work on others. I know of people that have v2 and they are unable to thread it in on Manhattan, Authentic Cartel, 4nine and many more. Again, Isaac is the man and I will do business with him again. However I think I will be sticking to the products that come out of good ol' US and A. Good luck to everyone.

been following this thread for a long time. I wanted to get in on this but it had just closed.
My Z2 I purchased when I realized I couldn't get in on this deal has some thread issues as well. Works on about 1/2 or less of my mods. Some told me to get a die (forget the size right now) to perfect the threads. Another told me to run very fine wet/dry sandpaper over the 510. I haven't done either yet.
I am still looking for a Bf pin for mine. If anyone wants to sell theirs just hit me up.
Iken is a good vendor to deal with and I hate that you and Isaac had to go through this pain.

I have the actual 510 screw im not gonna use. PM me, we might be able to work out a swap for center post.
