Center pin non adjustable and it doesn't sit flush won't work on any of my mods I know someone else who ordered one of these had the same thing so shockingly I think the bozos manufacturered them all defective.... which really sucks because other then this it looks great. If you loosen the center pin it throws the positive post off and won't stay put anyone have any suggestions besides returning it?

I saw a Circuit Board Spacer at MadVapes. "It fits nicely into a 510 connector and may be able to be used by some of you to alter your mods and connectors to adjust airflow or fix connectivity issues with deeply set center posts. Fits 510, 808, 901 and other similarly sized batteries or atomizers."

A little trick to fix this.

Take out (unscrew) the center post. lay a piece of sandpaper on a table or desk top (something flat) sand the bottom of the 510 connector a bit so the center post protrudes.

GO SLOW, KEEP IT LEVEL AND CHECK OFTEN!!!

Yes it is a pain but it will save the funds you spent on it to make it useful. Afterward, they work just fine and are a decent vape just like all kayfuns. Mine was bad and the center post sat .5mm below the surface. I had to sand mine quite a bit. Just poor quality control but, this is what you get when you try and save some bucks. Don't get discouraged. It is worth the effort.

Interesting you said this because I thought to somehow sand that connection down a little bit myself but never thought to really do it because it might mess up the threads.... but it's so close it will probably work I don't have to take much off thanks for this bro gonna give it a go

Oh BTW does regular sandpaper work or do I need something for metal?

I am going to suggest 'Wet or Dry' emery paper. Just use it dry, and tape the paper onto something relatively flat. You can get the stuff at any auto supply in the paint and body section. Get 400 or finer.

    If you're concerned about messing up the threads on the 510 connection you can remove the positive block and sand it down , it'll accomplish the same thing .

    I don't think that's true. The pin "shoulder" is essentially too short, or the 510 threaded connector is too long. Sanding down the positive block will only make the end of the center pin stick out farther and the positive connection will be in the same place.

    Using a tiny washer somewhere is probably the best solution. Sanding down the 510 connector should work too, but there is the risk of FUBARing it.

    Just go to home depot and get yourself some fine grit aluminum oxide sandpaper. It's pretty standard and can be found at most any hardware store. I have it in various grades for other uses but 400 or 600 grit should work just fine. Please just go slow,keep it level and check often. If you go to far you could end up ruining the device anyway. It's not easy to muck it up. You really have to be careless. Don't doubt your ability. It doesn't work right now so, you haven't got much to lose.

    Just be sure to keep it level or you may eat up the thread on it which would be bad. mine took like 10 mins to complete being very thorough and careful.
