I just got a DNA 30 the other day and I really like it besides a few quirks I am having. My main concern is the 510 pin. The very first tank I threaded on was my PTII. While threading on my PTII I felt no resistance so I continued to thread it down till it just caught snug. I then got the short error so I removed the tank and I noticed that the atty pin was pushed up into the threaded 510 sleeve on the base. It appears that the pin in the device was fixed in place and didnt want to lower as I threaded on the tank. Again, I felt NO resistance and normally friends over tightening is a pet peeve of mine as they often complain about tanks leaking because of it. In fact as I threaded it I checked the tank for wobble so I could let it be in which it did indeed wobble. I assume this pin lead to the atty heads coil getting messed up causing the short. This also causes the insulator to mushroom out restricting air flow. Then I noticed either it didnt have an o ring/insulator around the pin on the device or it was pushed down. Then I tried one of my MT3 tanks I have laying around and it did the same thing to the 510-ego adapter I just bought. It pushed the pin up into the adapter which pushed the pin that contacts the atty pin up which left a huge gap between the device and the tank. This caused the insulator in the adapter to deform which somehow caused a short again.

The vendor who I will not name at this point is of no help and neither is Cloupor. It appears I got one of the newer V2's, prone to "less" issues. I would thread tanks down till they just make contact but again there is serious wobble so I dont feel comfortable with that. What I was wondering is if anyone knows of an actual swap for the 510 posted anywhere? I would like to remove the 510 conector and replace it with a Fat Daddy V3 or something like that but I cant even figure out how to get the DNA chip cover off. Its really on there tight and I am afraid of breaking it or pulling a wire and busting a solder joint and still not being able to remove that cover to even get to it to fix it if I do pull a joint. I thought about pulling the pin up enough to see if a #35 o ring would fit around it like the MVP fix but it wont budge. I thought abot tossing the #35 o ring in and threading the PTII with no atomizer in to see if it would press the o ring down and around the pin but with my luck it would push the pin down damaging something else.
