Hey all,
First - I heart my BCV BFM mod. It's the greatest. With a Zenith atty on top... man... just great. Here's the thing... Since these types of mods have the hybrid/atty adapters instead of a proper topcap/510 pin the atty threads come remarkably close to the top of the battery. What is the danger level of this?
I ask because I'd like to get one of the new Patriot 26650s but Patriots do not have an adjustable pin built in. My Zenith does so I extend it down a bit to provide a little space between the batt and the atty 510 threads.
I've seen pics of people using Patriots on XXIXs but such a small gap has me a bit worried. Should I be?
I would only be concerned with atty's that don't have a long center 510 pin. Today I almost bought a "Big Dripper" but the 510 didn't even protrude from the negative side - this is a problem with these newer mods that make direct contact from the 510 to the battery.
Go with atty's that have an adjustable 510 and make sure it is a good 1mm longer than the threads.
