I just got an atomo clone... it's my second mod, pretty fantastic, I like it more than my nemesis. Works great with my kayfun Lite Plus V2. However, I can not get it to work with my Igo W or my non-version 2 kayfun light Plus. If I understand correctly, I adjust the larger of the two screws on the atomo's two part firing pin to make sure it makes contact with the atomizer (The smaller is to ensure contact with the battery.) But its screwed all the way in and the thing won't fire at all. Am I just out of luck with those atomizers cause they themselves are not adjustable? I can tell by looking that the threading underneath them is not as long as on the Lite Plus v2.

Yes, it sounds like you haven't enough adjustment to reach the center pins. Do you have them Flush mounted?

Kayfun, you could remove the center screw, add an o-ring and re-install this would add slight length.
Dripper, no clue.

You can also pick up and adjustable pin - Kayfun/russian 91% off Ebay.

Very odd.

You can always try removing the adjustable pins and sanding the delrin down to about half its current thickness and see if that buys you enough to get them to contact/fire.

Another tip---for the battery rattle style/the small screw on top cap: if you over extend the battery rattle screw just right, tighten top cap, then loosen slightly, and tighten down. It fixes the rattle.
Don't torque threads.. not only is it bad for the threads, but you could put too much pressure on the positive battery contact.. when you get the feel for this.

Edit'--' my first paragraphish disappeared...or I'm out there.:)

That's what I meant by floating pin..ghetto version of one.. but works good.
