No contamination. I got out my Mephisto and it fit flush, but no connection. I screwed out the center pin all told 3 turns and finally made it, but the center pin is really out far and kind of loose now, but that's how far I had to go.

Yeah, I understand why people would like spring loaded pins as the china connectors are nonadjustable and you get what you get. Hopefully there will be a quality 510 soon that I can use. The FD connectors I played with are probably adequate for non-feeders. Maybe he will fix the problems with the feeders soon?

Nuppin's 510 is definitely short but Mephisto too? Sounds like you need a little more taken off the top. Can you post a pic?
I'm not too far from you (New Braunfels) and wouldn't mind sanding it down a little more for you if you're not comfortable doing it.

Did you mean that the nuppin was seated down against the catch cup wall and not connecting? If that's the case then yes, I can take more off the top of the mod to give it more room to screw down.

When I did them I left a slight lip on the catch cup to keep in occasional drips, but I can take more off.

i see a lot of this flush top stuff, and i think you're missing the point in a lot of ways.

An RSM is not built to withstand the sub-ohm thrashing i can deliver. So there is no point in my putting an Atomic on it, running dual coils and crying when things go wrong. I use something else as an all day vape.

My wife has stolen every single cruiser i have - she has them all, and they are the ones on the website pics. So is a DNA. She vapes coils at 1.5Ω and loves HER (!!) cruisers.

I have meh, 14 RM2's and they fit every RSM i own. A mephisto/dark horse/CLT any of those are going to fail. Not because they will not fit, but because they are all made as dual coil atties that demand power.

Go below 0.5Ω at your peril.

My advice: use those on a metal mech or something instead.

Yes, the Nuppin is flush, but won't make contact. The Mephisto was flush and had to adjust the center pin out alot to make it work.

By all means, send her back in...

Yeah, but I made it a flush CC so they could use anything. If I failed to make it flush enough then I'm not fulfilling my promise so I would rather just shave it down some more and make everyone happy.

The karma of nuking a RSM is having to pay me to repair it, and as nuking a mod is not gonna make me a happy camper it's not gonna be the usual under priced repair.

Flush tops open up a world of new possibilities compared to atties that only fit inside a certain diameter catchcup.

Even you, Cappy, can branch out and try things other than the A7; my point was merely to point out that if you thrash your mod, you'll regret it. So choose your builds carefully.

I agree on watching your ohmage, personally I'm not looking to sub-ohm on these, most my builds are 1-1.3 ohms. I had my CC flushed so I could use my Nuppin' in a single coil build, they won't fit my non-LP R3Os and I'm waitin' till next Christmas on Sumpin' :D:vapor:

I imagine I'm going to suffer some problems before this flush catch cup business sorts itself out, always seems to be the case whenever I make a significant change. If I get too much crap over this, I will simply go back to catch cups as they were and people who need larger diameters can simply go somewhere else.

Holy rowboats people! I'm getting ready to close out my 4th year of making mods! How have I survived this long?

There is no way I will have more mods done before the end of the year, so the next batch will be the first batch of the 5th year.

Batch 5-1 ... I need to find a real job .... arrrrr!

The catch cup wall is beautifully done. It's actually flush with the wood. I don't know how you managed to get it so close. I grabbed an rm2 and it makes contact perfectly. I couldn't make the nuppin make contact and am not sure how adjustable it is. That's the one I really wanted to run on here. I am not going to run my Mephisto because it's going to be a major power hog. I have a Divo around here somewhere, which I know will work. I'm not interested in chucking big clouds or subohming as low as I do on my metal Reos. I'll use my rm2 until I can determine the adjustability of my Nuppin. I'm not sending this baby in for more shaving as you'd be into the wood. Thanks guys, and thanks Cappy for responding so quickly!

Update: I played with my Nuppin this morning, and saw where the feed hole was and went out 1 turn at a time and put it on my Cruiser and tested. My 4th attempt, we have contact! And the fluid hole still works! :) I'll be in business tonight. I have some more gauges of kanthal coming and I'm going to build it at around .6. I built my RM2 at .75 and it worked wonderfully! And that was without any adjustments. I can't believe how this thing feels in my hand. It's beautiful :).

I'd swap jobs with you in a heartbeat Capt'! "Real jobs" are way overrated.

I just sent another long E-mail over to the guy at FD about what I would need in order to use his atties. I also mentioned that other makers sure would like to upgrade the 510's were current stuck with.

Some of the issues I mentioned;

A catch cup should catch dripped juice. Having channels radiating outwards from the center defeats the purpose of a catch cup.

The threads of the V3 for "wood" could be 1/4" longer and offered as a option for the V4 model.

Is the V4 model going to be offered with a BF option like the V3 is?

If so, could the V4 model have a BF pin that extended a bit longer? As it is, I will have to solder a 1/16" tube through the center of it because the one sold is too big in diameter for a feed tube to slip over. There is also no place to solder the hot wire and still have room for a feed tube to attach. Perhaps mill it 1/4" longer and mill that extra length down to about 1/16" (1.6mm).

I'll let you all know what I hear back. I am trying .... arrr
