RDA Center post spinning,How to fix it?

[b.m.]

I have a center post spinning pretty easy in the insulator,any recommendations on how to get it tight?I tried wrapping Teflon tape around it,and it did tighten it up but the heat is making the tape burn,so that's not going to work haha.

Replace the insulator. If it is just a simple tube, Fatdaddy Vapes sells replacement packs.

I'll have to give those a shot.It is basically just a tube,but upper part that comes through the deck is just a bit bigger than what goes down through the 510 post.Shouldn't be too hard to chuck it in the drill and file down the lower part a bit.

If the post is a softer metal I've had luck squeezing the base of the post with very sharp tooth pliers a few times(I use small vice grips), this will give a sort of ridged/toothed finish where you squeezed the post and help add traction to the connection between post and insulator.

Sorry to hear the post is spinning so easy...For that reason I use rda's with a square center post..like my 6 mos old dark horse...just sayin

So your square insulator will result in a wobble rather than spinning. Resulting issues are mostly the same. Cause is also the same. Just saying.

No wobble here bro, but I do follow your logic... Been using the Dark Horse with the square center post for over 6 mos and no shorts, wobble or issues.. I did replace the insulator about 3 mos ago because it leaked a little bit..bottom screw shown lets me tighten the post when needed. .

Also the center square post on my dark horse is copper..

It was actually my fault that it started spinning haha.I was drilling out the positive screw for my bottom feed mods,usually i pull the post and screw,then clamp them in a vice for drilling,but i got lazy on this one,and decided to leave the post in the base and drill it that way.It went ok about half way,then the drill bit grabbed and spun the post.I may not have seen it soon enough,so it had enough time to spin enough to open the insulator up a bit.
Although,i do agree,i like the square post in the dark horse,for both the spinning issue,and they are easier to drill out than the round post haha.

I may have to give this a try,not sure if it will work on this one though as it has a stainless post,so not sure how soft it will be.
