I received today a new "2014" Cyclone from the UK vendor. I wrapped a coil, tested it on my ohm meter (0.96 Ω), but once mounted on my LP Reo, it didn't heat up. It was tightly screwed into the connector. I put it back on the ohm meter and it read the same reading again.
I think maybe the positive contact in the center of the Cyclone's 510 connector is *just* not protruding from the center enough... by fractions of a millimeter. Enough so that it works on my ohm meter, but doesn't contact the slotted positive post on the Reo's 510 connector. Seem like a plausible theory?
If this is the case, can I move the Cyclone's positive center post down a little by gently tapping the center post from above with a hammer? I tried turning it with a screwdriver (gently) like I always needed to do with my old A7, but it didn't want to budge -- I didn't know if it's threaded or not, but I'm assuming not based on this experience.
If the hammer approach won't destroy the atty I'll try that, but thought I'd consult with the atomizer cognoscenti here first. Any advice appreciated!
I put my RM2 back on the Reo and it's working as well as ever, so I know there's no new problem with the Reo itself.
Thanks!
