So the atty does not push the nail any more.
The only reason is because the inside insulant between battery's connectors has moved.

Put the cap into a table with the gold nail facing you. Push very hard the nail.
Then try to vape again. If it does not work, push the nail again.

Still no vaper. Its got to be something with the atomizer cap. The 801 adapter wouldn't work if something else.

The 801 works because the adapter has bigger inside moving part and make the connection.

Is the silver polygon nut (after the gold nail) threaded it hard to the bronze? Can you unthreaded? If not ok.

Look if the inside insulant to the bronze threaded piece is in the same exactly level to the silver polygon nut.

Tell me how lower is the center pole of the battery's connector and the bronze threaded piece.

Ohh Rejoice, I'm so sorry to hear that!
This may make Sakis kill me! But here it goes, when I first got the adapters I thought they broke because the pins was moving freely and just wasn't giving me and vape, soooo I took it upon my not so mechanically inclined self to fix it! I held the pin in the proper position and with a very fine tipped super glue bottle (took a couple stores to find) blasted the adapters on both sides to hold the pin just right, where I believed it should be. Was a little off, With a little precise fine adjustments (whacking) because hardned with superglue, got the pin just right, then used acetone + q-tip because the glue got into the rivets. hehe, But All fixed problems solved. I know it sounds scary but I'm reckless sometimes.

I could tell from the look on you face that you was an ornery boy. Now here is the proof.

The silver polygon nut was good and tight. My question I feel that maybe a problem is the white insulant. I had to go get my magnifier glass to see it real good. It looks a little warped or it maybe is suppose to be like that?
It stays connected to the gold nail. Is that right?
Or is it suppose to be on the silver polygon nail?

You didn't look it up in an Okie dictionary. It is not that unflattering in Okie talk. It is not mean. It is just a little ornery. It is more like a heckler. If you look this up look it up in an Okie dictionary. I apologize for the definition in the foreign dictionary.

The white insulant is ok, dont worry, but tell me if the gold nail (if you have it pushed), is in the same level with the bronse threaded piece? (where the atty screws)

I wish I had another GG to look at. When I push the gold nail the nail is almost the level of the top of the threads. I may have to wait until I get the transformer to understand. To understand what exactly is normal.

When you say almost? Is it 1mm lower?

Answer me this and then I will tell you another trick, a little dificult now.

As you saw with the little trick I told you (screw the atty and see if gold nail moves), shows that the central pin cant make the connection. Its because the inside bronze insulant is moved to the nail.

Can you tell me if the insulant is in the same level to the bronze? (look from the inside side of the cap, between the gold nail and the bronze
