So I took off my atlantis tank and put on my Zeus x. Then I used my pointy ceramic tweezers and the pin popped right out. I got it all dried out and cleaned with alcohol. The tweezers allowed me to run a tissue all around and deep in the crevices to dry it out. Then my son had the blue loctite so it’s drying now. I’ll let it dry overnight and give it a whirl. Since it’s so tiny, the loctite went in the hole, I put some on the pin, and it kind of ran all around the pin. I think it turned out perfectly actually. Hopefully this works.
I have not done mine yet... so I am just shooting from the hip here... but by filling the hole, you didn't fill the actual 510 connection right? (essentially clogging it?)

    I have five fasttech orders out there, 4 are still in China, and one of the 4 hasn't shipped yet. None of the orders have flavored anything in them. I hope they trickle in without any customs problems.
    I wouldn't worry about it yet.
    Nothing has been announced regarding flavors.
    Besides if what you ordered was manufactured after 8/8/16 it is not supposed to be sold/imported anyway.

    Also, did you squirt some alcohol in and around the fire button? Some of the liquid probably got trapped between the plastic piece and the electronics and that was what was causing yours to autofire.

    Minor correction to this.

    It is not "manufactured after 8/8/16." It is "on the market before 8/8/16." It can be manufactured after that date as long as it was on the market before it. Now it all goes off the market pending PMTA in May anyway.

    No idea, but I only used a drop or two. It’s so tiny. I have a feeling the loctite was just sitting there and the action of putting the pin back in forced some inside but probably not enough to clog it. We’ll know tomorrow. Ceramic tweezers for the win. Tweezers were perfect for holding the tiny pin to put it in the hole. I also used the other end of the tweezers to press the pin back in. If the pin won’t come out easily with a non squonk tank, try another non squonk tank. The loctite is all around the pin as well. I have the luxotic sitting upside down so it stays near the pin and doesn’t run down into the backside. I’ll take a pic later.

    I have 6 in transit and 2 that have not shipped yet, but customs should not be an issue for vaping imports until May anyway. Any law would take some time before it was enacted (at least that is what most people thought until this recent FDA move with the age of vaping/smoking). But also keep in mind that customs would not have their eye out for "filters" which apparently is all that fasttech sells. lmao! It would be a random inspection for them at least until they eventually get flagged.

    Nah, your regular carrier is probably on vacation so his fill-in is behind or taking a different route.

    I always know when my mailman is on vacation because the mail comes much later than usual.

    I hope you're right. Wouldn't be unusual though for them to skip our area. I just wish I knew for sure it wasn't coming. I don't like to leave packages in the mailbox overnight.

    No I need to do that though. I cleaned everywhere except there. :blink:

    I just ordered (10) 10 ml bottles, (2) needle top bottles for my minifit, more premade coils (48x2), and (2) syringes from centralvapors.com. :rolleyes: I have a lot of new flavors to test and I didn’t have any small bottles and they have those great soft bottles that I love. Small order and only $12 with the vapor25 for 25% off code. :)
    I ordered a Tesla Nano from them like Christmas Day I think it was maybe the day before either way they were closed and it shipped or at least the shipping label went out at 8 Eastern time today if I'm not mistaken theyre in Texas so that would have been even earlier they are on the ball I love Central Vapors.

    This is the day when a bargain/bling/stockpile collision occurred and I ended up ordering light up TFV8 coils from Eightvape. I guess never say never applies, but hey, they were a five for a buck.
    Do those work with the hellbeast? And if so, do you have a link?

    After Deeming, that's true. I'm more worried about any more b.s. laws, not existent b.s. Lol, what a crazy time this is, seems unreal the way everything's going down. Like a bad dream I can't quite wake up from...

    I know Trump signed it. Lol. That's old news... But it was not supposed to go into effect until Summer/Fall 2020.... My point was that the FDA was not waiting that long.
    That's what's concerning me the most is with a government that for now many years has governed by executive order and is now bypassing typical things that were set in place like waiting 30 to 90 days before the beginning of a change in law. Now it's just knee-jerk this and need jerk that executive action this executive action that. And it's not just this Administration it's been trickling in for a while. At the very least it is setting up a very dangerous precedent.

    Son loved his screwdriver set and wanted to use them on my luxotic mod. T5 torque screwdriver worked perfectly. We can’t get the dang pin out! I don’t have a set of small pliers either. We’ve tried everything. Oh well. I put the squonk bottle in and squonked and juice went everywhere from the pin. My son said why didn’t they recall them? He has a point. I may end up using it as a regular mod and not a squonker which is fine by me.
    I'm sorry that you're having this issue but I'm glad that I'm not crazy. Here's one thing and this is something that I didn't know but it turns out it didn't make any difference in my case but it might in yours. You need to put a non squonking tank with a somewhat protruding 510 in it before you try to take the pin out. Now initially I didn't do that but then I did it because I couldn't get a grip on the stupid device. I had no clue it needed to be in there but it relaxes and takes the pressure off of the hole so theoretically the pin should come out

    A Gentle Request . . .

    While I appreciate the fact that we NEED to and should keep each other informed about what is possibly happening concerning the deeming regulations for vaping, flavors, etc.

    If it is at all possible can we leave any and all comments especially about politicians/politics out of this thread.

    There are more then enough threads - particularly "Outside" (https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forums/outside.49/), where people can continue to voice their opinions about a number of different subjects.

    There is also:

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    AND - There Are Other Threads Available To Meet Anyone's NEED To Vent too . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    THANK YOU ! ! ! :facepalm:

    I posted new news lol... that the FDA was going rogue.
    I am not surprised the FDA would take this as immediately enforceable. The flavor ban seems a moot point now that only adults can buy flavors, I don't know why they would have their knickers in a twist over flavors for adults.
