I would be astonished if Napa had a 7mmx.50 tap. They might have a 7mmx1.00 tap but even that is an uncommon size. Amazon!
********The Derringer is a "GO". Just paid for 35 of them. Whoo Hooo!
Waiting on an invoice for 30 Marquis. Manufacturer says they have them in stock an ready. Looks like I will be busy next weekend.

I won't know until I get a tracking number. I would suspect Thursday or Friday however.
Yeah I'm deff not bashing the Mephisto i use to use it on my hybrid stingrays.. i loved it. Then i ordered a grand lp and was so antsy i converted it to b/f before it came.. it always threaded on any of mytube mods.. but the Reo came and it would only turn down one single thread. I checked to see if i mangled the threads and they were fine. So when i started searching and reading about mephistos online (esp. Clones) people said they had threading problems.. like i said hopefully this new ss 510 solves my problem!
Hopefully the new 510 can be taken apart so I/you can run a 7x50 tap all the way through after it has been pressed. The only down sides I see to the new connection:
Increased resistance (brass is a better conductor than stainless)
Wobbley attys if not threaded all the way down flush
Gasket/O-ring destruction due to sharp stainless threads that will be an issue with frequent adjustment
Stainless to stainless connections will gall over time, especially when electrolysis comes into play.
Still better than the current issues of buttery soft brass threads and fragile gasket/bushing.

That's odd... The Mephisto has some of the loosest threads of all of the attys I have dealt with. The Veritas is one of the tightest, one of the 15 steps that I go through with the Veritas is running the threads. Anything from Vicious Ant has very tight threads as well barring some of the early 2013 stuff.
The authentic Zeniths also had oversized threads that I had a hard time even getting the tapered die onto, way out of spec threads.

Gold plated copper, I will be replacing them with stainless and including the un touched stock pin along with it.
man I cant wait im liking the marquis vids ive seen!the derringer will be the first bf auth..well wait the cyclone is authentic to so itll be my 2nd authentic atty then.if I didn't have credit id be....not as in debt!!!lol.i did get the 8.00 zenith with 2bf pins with it yesterday.the only prob is I messed my reo up and am having to drip with it and the air adjust is SUPER tight,havent benn able to move it hardly at all.when I get the tap and reo rebuild kit ill be ready for the odin....I hope anyways.the magma is working great Tom but do I need the plastic separator thing that's supposed to be in there?the neg post is a lil wobb;ly

In most cases I would say no just trash the nylon seperator but in your case I would re-install it unles you want to send it in to fix it. Where did that magma come from? I will avoid that company in the future.
to embarrassed to say but the letters are a blue F and a blue T and shipping is normally not...more like never what the name specifies.ive got a brokendown truck at the moment so the fixing of attys is going to have to wait.im not gonna bail on the derringer either.i will honor my request for one.life is fun for the most part!just kinda stunk when I tried to start my truck and no go.fuelpumps on the blink.wish it was warm out,i could just ride the motorcycle and not worry about it but here in northwest ohio the bike thing wont work all of the time in winter.!
Okay you rogue fans, tell me what I'm missing... I just can't find a sweet spot on mine. for one, the sharp edges on the barrel are shredding the o rings. The AFC seems to do nothing. I can spin the top portion 360 degrees and the draw is always super airy. The vape is anemic at best. I've tried several coil configuration, my standard duels at 0.4 ohms, higher and lower resistances but nothing feels right. Raised coils, lower to the deck, nada. Tried standard drip tips, wide bore and a loki router. No matter what I feel like this thing is just drawing air from all over and diluting the vapor. Oh, and to top it all off the center post spins before I can fully tighten the leads. Did I get a lemon or is there something I'm missing?
I couldn't get the af to close up till I dented mine, then I could tell where it was set and I am finally getting really good flavor, and I have high standards for flavor. I have had one dt that let air in but the rest , like 3 I've tried, are tight. I think that's the first thing you've gotta figure out.
