got my v2 all is good but..

[Jason365]

I got my v2 today, no switch issues yet. knock on wood.
no burnt juice taste,

But I have an issue with the top adapter threads. They are hardly there. I was scared to screw it back together after inspecting the switch for delrin flakes.

The warranty states that cross threading is not covered. But why are the threads not as well machines as the battery cap end. That piece screws on perfect. The adapter piece not so much. I will post some pics of it later. As its working now and I dont want to take it back apart.

What is cross threading? I have seen this word, but I know not what it means - I'd hate to inadvertently void my warranty!

Get some Noalox.

Yes I agree, there are only 3 threads on the adapter end be very careful with this end. The way I see it you take it apart 1 a week maybe, just make sure you aren't in a rush.
You know the old saying "Take a step back before you take a step forward"

I would like to see a few more threads up top myself.

I've only opened the adapter end on my V2 maybe three times. Mine was a first batch so I had to replace the center switch thing and once or twice to add silver conducting grease. I'm going to look at how long / many threads are on mine. It was an early first run.

hmmmm...

I have one from the first run and only have 3 threads. The end cap only has 2 threads so I wouldnt sweat it much.

Opposite in function though, so the end cap is less likely to get cross-threaded.

I admit I'm not 100% sure either. But I'm assuming from its use on the forum that it means stripping the threads, like what happens with screws. The threads are stripped and won't catch/screw on properly.

What is the definition of cross threading?
A condition that occurs when a rotating fastener is misaligned with a tapped hole.

also

(′krös ′thred)
(engineering) To screw together two threaded pieces without aligning the threads correctly.

This happens when the threads are not aligned properly, but the threads still catch and you continue to thread with resistance.... the resistance is the start of cross threading.

The problem is the threads catch at the wrong angle, or crooked and the end user forces it.
