Hello every one! I've had my cyclone+afc for a while now and its pretty awesome. Im running a dual micro coil setup with some cotton bacon. It seems to be the only build I enjoy on this thing though. How does every one else set up? Also does any one know where I could buy a standard cyclone top cap?

I run two Woodvil's with 2013 Cyclones that have enlarged air intakes. Current set up in them for the two liquids they run is twisted single .9 and .68 3mm RxW builds. Last KGD build in one of them for a different liquid was a twisted single 26ga at .5 ohm.

Just started to recoil one of the 2013 Cyclones above... and found that the center post grub's hex is stripped. Even the Thorp can't get a purchase on it. So obviously some brain dead individual over tightened it in the sleepless wee hours of the night, probably with a hex key that was worn. < AKA Me! :facepalm:

No idea how I'll get it out with the few tools I have on hand. Luckily it's on a Woodvil I don't use very often... and I have other atty's I could put on it. Even so hate to loose an atty I really like and have to use one I don't like as much. :cry:

Something in the neighborhood of crazy glue the worn Alan key to the stripped screw to see if them it will grip it and turn it out?

Be tuff to make sure u glue just the Hex head and not the threads.. though the thought of a screw out tool that size? Doubt it.

Super glue is out, and while I have Torx drivers someplace I doubt any are this small. Same with my screw/bolt extractor sets, and both are probably buried in storage someplace. So it the drill press. I will probably go find one of my micro screw driver sets when I get around to it (one set should be in the house someplace), find a straight slot the right size and drive it in to try to get some purchase on the grub that way. I could also go after it with the Foredom tool, or one of my Dremels and cut a slot in the grub if I get enough light and magnification to see with these old eyes. Small detail is not part of my world anymore. The unknown is if I tightened it tight enough to strip it, it may be set in there way tight and/or locked by the coil wire. If it wasn't a 2013 I'd probably not worry about it, but hate to loose one from that vintage as they are hard to come by now. Even so it's dedicated to a Woodvil I don't use much, and I have way too much else that is more important to me going on to mess with it right now.
