Maybe it's the atomizer ? Mine wobbles with the tfv4, but doesn't with my velocity or crown on it.

For those really interested in how the VTC Mini is put together...
hmmmm. it just started wobbling on me a couple of weeks ago. it wobbles with pretty much all of my tanks (2 diablo rta's, silverplay nano, gob mini, source orb). i'll try an RDA later. it's still a bummer it does with my tanks since those are what i use as my daily vapes
i'll peep that video later too. thanks for the info!
Shimming it like he suggests in the vid with the adhesive plastic washer would solve that wobble.
yes, i've heard a shim or small o-ring can fix this. i'll give it a whirl!
but it almost feels as if the 510 connector itself is moving, because the atty is tight. i'll report back after i try the o-ring method first.The entire 510 is moving inside the keep slot inside the mod. I was referring to shimming the socket inside the mod as in the video I do not believe you have had the time to watch yet. You should understand when you see it.yes, i've heard a shim or small o-ring can fix this. i'll give it a whirl!
Agreed, but it is cheap, quick & easy from an assembly standpoint so why would they? I have heard many users say they would replace it with a VT 510 but I haven't seen a pic of one installed yet. Damn tight in there to install one & fit the wires for a fixed 510 install on case. JT really should shim them at least.
Address it because it's poorly designed, just because it is inexpensive is no excuse to not fix a problem area. The device wasn't originally so inexpensive.
Easy to assemble is exactly why it hasn't been addressed.
When an atomizer threads into a 510 the threading is generally loose fitting, if the atomizer is moving around then the connection inside the 510 is moving around.
This is a big problem for stable temperature control and puts unnecessary wear and tear on the connections. Lot of people have $100+ atomizers on the $35 dollar mod.
@MadVLN Check the 510 pin on the VTC Mini. By design, the 510 should snug your attys up tight against the enclosure. Only those attys with longer than average 510s show any problems with wobble. The SubTank Mini is a perfect example. If the 510 pin is jammed in an upward position, it will prevent most attys from snugging up against the enclosure. All my attys snug up nicely except for the STM.
I suppose it's also possible that the 510 has become "uncaptured" allowing attys to wobble. The video(s) should help you diagnose the problem.

for me the bit of wobble with my stm's doesn't affect the vape at all. it is annoying tho, i like things to fit well. just a bit of shim fixed it nice. i guess they should have allowed more depth to the 510 as the stm fits great on other mods.
I am First to agree with you that it is a crap design. JT will probably never fix it though.
They really can't without redesigning the case of the mod to provide enough height for a proper one.
It's a loved device by a whole lot of people, it would be in their interest to release a version two that addresses any known issues.
Time will tell I guess. I would pick up a v2 if released.

Best I can say is I agree, don't see it happening any more than I see them changing it on the Reuleaux.

I'd think if one has trouble / loose 510 fitting
using exiting piece #1 (in picture) as a template,
fabricate something out of a delrin type material
and insert it into the cast cavity inside... it would act as a supporting 'lug' and
it would anchor the other side of the 510 connector with minimal effort IMO
jus sayin'

was thinking carve something to drop down inside the cast
a little trial-n-error and it would fit tight and 'hold' the other side of the 510 pin (as you slide the mod guts back in)
super simple / ez-pz
I cant think of a good material (just now) but a simple carve with a dog/tang sticking out
copied from the piece (cast) that is there...
wood would work, but it would draw moisture/water
sole from an old shoe/piece of an old tire/hairbrush handle/etc. ...
And most importantly do so on top of the 510 assembly to force it downward thereby allowing more space for longer 510s. The video shows right way to go. Hardest part will be if it does not allow a proper fit. It has to allow it to slide in the slot cleanly. Any restriction due to too much shim and you are screwed unless you drill pilot holes to use a probe to force it into the slot. Allow for compressible tolerance of material over time & there really is no way to solve this issue permanently with the current design unless you can figure out a way to force an in-compressible material in in there past the existing battery sled. Sorry to bear bad news and look forward reading the account w/ pics of the first poster to solve this issue.I'd think if one has trouble / loose 510 fitting
