Catfish Atty Mods the next Chapter

Yeah I can blow the top caps off both Stumpys I have. Any idea the o-ring size?

I will ask Harry. No guess work on this one.

As Tom stated, all of my Stumpy's (5) are tight. Could it be the liquid you are using attacking the rubber?

Hi Tom,
The insulator on my Stumpy is loose... anyway I can get it replaced?

Ask Harry. But I want to see how close my guess is.
16mm x 1mm

Prepared for the entourage of pecker heads, err, um, I mean, Trick or Treaters.

Happy Halloween to the Catfish gang...

I don't think it's possible to destroy that bushing short of a house/dumpster fire. Find a 1.5mm Allen wrench and insert it into the 510 pin and tighten it up. Some 510s are mean and nasty to 2 piece pin/posts.

Distort, they been like this since I received them. The top caps seem like there is no o-ring at all, although there is. The top just falls off if I tip it sideways. The only way to get a hit off the atty is to press down on the cap or more air comes from around the top cap than the airflow control.

Which oring are you talking about? Bottom barrel, top barrel, or drip tip adapter?

Top barrel.

Perhaps its called the drip tip adapter, the portion the drip tip fits into. Double o-rings.

Sorry, I don't know all the lingo yet.

Oh yeah, those o rings. Mine was pretty loose too. I put 1 wrap of dental floss in the groove, under each one of the o rings. It snugged it up nicely.

Thanks Rule...I'll try that. I guess its not just my Stumpy's.

I need to read up on dripper lingo used to describe parts.

I would assume the purpose of the fitting is for people who drip, correct?

Whenever you have loose fitting parts with o rings, you can tighten up the fit by removing the o ring, making one or two turns of dental floss in the groove, and replacing the o ring. After replacing the o ring, trim off the ends with cuticle scissors or razor blade. I've done this many times, especially on drip tips that fit too loose.

I'll keep that in mind....thanks for the help.
