Dotmod Petri RTA 22mm [build deck Base pin] How tight or loose?

[Rubyrube5]

Hello guys.

[Issue referred to in the attached images]

Have just been messing around with my new dotmod petri 22mm rta.
The first few builds tasted great but experienced some leaking through the AFC.

I came to the conclusion that I was not tightening things down enough.

the 510 pin [A] could not fasten to the female teeth on the screw which is in the base of the build deck. [highlighted in photos]

To make this connection possible I had to loosen the pin in the bottom of the build deck .

I just wanted to know if this was a done thing and if anyone else had experienced this issue.

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome. I don't have that tank, so I am not well understanding what you mean. Does the base screw into the barrel and into the base pin?

RTA leaking is usually a wicking problem, and the Petri is somewhat notorious for being a challenge to get the wicks right.

sorry for being unclear.

i have made a photo to try and explain.

basically i cannot connect the build deck to the base of the deck. it seems the 510 pin is not long enough

any ideas

Might want to have some english speaker help you with your sentence construction. I'm not following what you mean.

at the 6min 10 sec mark is the center pin being screwed in.

looking just past the 10min mark shows you have to tighten it down.is your 510 on the mod adjustable?
