There is gdeal's (the late lamented) modification technique on the fd mech replacement 510. It uses a vented screw (available in 10's from Amazon for arount $15). Very leak proof. Adjustable. Not spring loaded. Sticks out a ways. The vented screw is the problem.
He used them in the pico and the gdna. I can't find the links anymore. Probably because he was banned (unregistered supplier).

FD also sells the vented screw in 2.5mm and 3mm already drill in a 3/pk... They are to use in conjunction with the classic 510 inserts he sells which are the exact same ones George sold in the co-op for the Peko and GDNA's...
Where to get those 6-32 vented screws?+1000 on the FatDaddyVapes "Classic 510 Inserts" as these are perfect, IMO. Drill out the existing delrin insulator with a #35 bit. Thread with a 6-32 tap. Insert modified 6-32 vented screw. Done.
Amazon has slotted screws: 18-8 Stainless Steel Machine Screw, Plain Finish, Vented, Fillister Head, Slotted Drive, Right Hand Threads, Inch: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific
They also have phillips head, which is what I and others have used but I don't have a link handy. I also am not sure that 3/4" is the right length. These are cheap, though.

Keep in mind the vented screws at McMaster-Carr and Amazon need the heads ground or filed down to work in the 510's... The McMaster ones are too high and the Amazon ones have too large of diameter head to fit inside...
Here's a link to the one that I and others used with gdeal's modifications: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00137P3RE/ref=biss_dp_t_asn
You need to decrease the diameter and shorten the head. The techniques and measurements are available somewhere on the forum. Unless they deleted all his posts when he was banned. I chucked the threaded part in a dremel 1/8" chuck and spun it against an emery board. I have the documents at home but I won't be there for a few days.

I always turn down the bolt head to .200" diameter & .075" thick. Works for me every time.
