You shouldnt have that problem since its a floating pin. Just screw on the rsst first

I got the bullet to try out, lol. They were out of the trident when I was ordering..

Where were you trying to order from. Myvape.in has in stock. But the shipping is kinda bs. They ship by kilo.

Correctomundo, you sir are correct! . And although I knew this info already, for some reason I am DEATHLY afraid of that floating pin! But, yep, I just needed to screw it down tighter.

The EA does seem to have issues with some attys not being able to screw down all the way, it really isn't the fault of the EA, just certain attys. Since the EA has threads all the way up to the very top of the 510 connection, attys (like my rev 1 AC9 ) that don't have the area between the top of the 510 threads and the base of the tank reduced in diameter won't screw down all the way. But given enough time, and screwing down as hard as possible repeatedly, you can apparently slowing reduce that gap.

Yeah that is what I thought at first, that there weren't enough threads on the RSST to screw down flush, or I had inserted the screw in the RSST too far, and didn't want to force it. I'm working and it's kinda dark in here. But it just took a few more turns and went flush.

They might have them in now but not when I ordered. Your right about the shipping, if it were cheaper I'd order from them more often..
But they seem to only have 1/4 of what I want to order in stock at any one time
My RSST fits completely flush on my EA.. all my RBAs sit flush. Beware of over tightening the EA.. that floating pin can and will come right up into the 510 connection in your atty if you keep tightening it. "Snug" is what Grimm Greene kept saying LOL. But the good thing about the RSST... it has that center pin that screws down from the top, so the floating pin on the EA can't push it up and ruin/short it. The center pin in my RSST was sharp, so I filed it off flat (I rubbed it back and forth on some concrete), so as not to dig down into the floating pin in the EA. I screw the pos pin in the RSST down until it just comes out the bottom.
My RSST is also just a tad leaky, not enough to cause any mess but I'll find just a drop now and then on the bottom. I used it on my Roller and now my Roller is misfiring, I'm sure it's because juice got down into the button housing. So now I use the RSST on the EA because it's easy to just take the center pin out, wipe it off and pop it back in. The Roller is a bit more complicated to disassemble and I haven't tried it yet.

Hi All.
I'm looking at the EA, but I have a concern. I'm afraid that the floating center pin when tightened down will drive the positive post of the RBA upward and either destroy the silicon isolaters or even short the atty out, has anyone had these kinds of issues

And I'm not being a smartass...you are just as likely to crush a connection trying to crank something down flush on a provari. The EA doesn't need to be tightened. Easy way to tell is that it feels loose when it's not tight enough, when it has no jiggle, it's tight enough. Anymore than that and you are putting pressure on something.
Great info ^ I tend to over tighten everything I touch so I need to make an effort with my EA not to do this.
Screw the atty on the cap, the cap on the device, start screwing the device down, stop when it when it "firms" up.
If you don't have one and jiggle and firm doesn't make sense, well at least in context to vaping
, watch pbusardos review. You'll see what I mean.

This is a very valid concern. I learned this lesson the hard way. I over tightened on a DID clone and a mini phoenix... pushed the center connector right up into the atty, shredded the silicon insulators and caused a hard short. Just be aware of it and you shouldn't have any problems. I love my EA mod... it's nice and simple, beautiful and easy to take care of. The RSST is perfect for it because it's impossible to push the positive post up into it because the pos post screws down into it from the top. I also use my DIDs on it.
I don't think of it as a design "flaw".. I think the GGTS has the same floating center pin. Don't let it scare you away from it.
It's definitely something you could do if you didn't know to look out for it. New people should benefit from our mistakes though. If you don't crush your atty, you will probably crush the battery, so being careful is good.
Again, from my experience, once it doesn't loose it's good to go. The pin isn't some much a design flaw as a design reality. To make it adjustable and keep it spring less, non threaded, it has to be like that.

The top configuration of the EA is the best I've had. I love this mod so much I'll probably get another some day. I don't see the flouting pin being an issue. I love the fact all my attys sit flush with the top of the mod. I see people using the roller mod, and they have this gap between the atty and the mod! Id be ...... if I paid 200 bucks on a mod and had gaps. I think at least all telescope mods that are worth a damn should allow attys to sit flush. I understand fixed battery mods have less mobility and motion in the top pin, so they tend to have gaps on certain attys. But with the adjustability of a telescope, any high quality mod should let the atty sit flush.

I agree. I have a Roller and as much as I like it, love the smooth button... taking it apart to clean is a pain. I can get my RSST and DIDs to sit almost flush, but I have to have the adjuster screw screwed all the way down. But Gaps don't bother me as long as it a mm or two and I find that I'd rather adjust for the wick/air hole to be where I want them rather than screwed all the way down. If I had to keep just one, I believe it would have to be the EA. Like I said above, the floating center pin is a non-issue now that I know not to over tighten the mod.
Just so you all know.. i just bought 1/8" e-clips from Home Depot... 2 for $.40 packets.. I think they might be a hair tight, but it works.
My experience:
I popped off my clip after about 20mins of owning mine by unscrewing the locking mechanism too much... I contacted EA and they actually sent me out a new switch. What awesome customer service even though the problem was obviously my own fault!! Anyways.. that was when i first bought it..
Well, yesterday, i had the stupidity to repeat that mistake.. lol.. so rather than take advantage of the nice people of EA, I decided to run over to HD and fix this myself... and so there you have it... 1/8" eclip will solve the issue...
And just as others have said in other posts... don't over tighten the mod, it WILL push the center pin on your atty's... all you need is enough to make good contact. I pushed the center pin of my Bliss way up into the connector... luckily it pushes back out with some force. But other atty's obviously could just get ruined.
Well... I did it... I had a FANTASTIC ss rope/xc-116 hybrid wick rocking a .8ohm untwisted double strand coil... dropped a fresh battery in my EA moments before leaving for work... tried to get a couple puffs before heading out and got a hot button and zero vapor. I had severed the grommet at the connector on my AGA D:
I'm not really surprised, the grommet has been looking a bit squished lately and I figured it'd only be a matter of time but damn what a terrible time for it to happen, lol.
I have some backup grommets but I'm curious if there isn't a better material to use, like maybe a small O-ring. Something that is still a little flexible but more durable than the stock grommets. When I get home tonight I'm gonna try one of the #60 O-rings I got for me VAMO positive post, but I suspect they'll be a little too big for this.
Any suggestions?

Ouch! Yep, there's no mistaking that hot button. I ordered a few silicon grommets from surevapes.. they're only .39 each. They're meant for the vulcan but they will probably fit the AGA. I have one in my drunker tank. Out of stock right now though. I haven't over tightened mine since I ruined a phoenix and realized what was happening.
