Help Reonauts!

[Myah_June2014]

Hey everyone, I just got a Magma today & went to put it on my Reo. Look at the gap That can't be normal, can it? I don't have the O-ring on but don't think it will make that big of a difference. Has anybody had this issue, don't wanna go any lower as I can hear it on the connection. Somebody, anybody plz help!

Both of mine have a gap. My BF magma is about the same as yours. My regular magma is worse! I never found an easy fix. Drove me crazy at first but it doesn't seem to affect performance.

It's driving me crazy lol.. Wonder if it can be milled or sanded down somehow? My brother deals with CNC machine all day & is a great fix it guy, wonder if he can do anything w/o ruining it?

I wondered the same thing. But don't have any connections. Will be curious to hear if he can fix it! I hope someone will be along to help more than I can. Just wanted you to know you're not alone

Cool, Ty for your feedback, at least I know it's normal (well maybe not normal, but I'm not alone). If nobody has suggestions other then milling it down & it won't mess the atty up I will see if my brother can do it, I will let ya know for sure!

My 5k is the same way. Just a slight gap. And it's ok. Feeds thru the pin and I have had no performance issue The gap probable helps from juicing the well and the bottom o f my dripper

Magmas have crazy long 510 posts, I can tell you from experience that if you try to screw it down to close some of that gap you can crush the 510 connection on your mod. No idea if they can be milled down or not, I just run mine on a mech mod with floating 510 pin to be safe. Damn thing leaks like a stuck pig anyway so I don't use it often. Too bad, produces great flavor.

I had the very same concern with my lpReo and RM2 when I received them. Looks exactly the same. Rob and others assured me that it's completely normal. After getting used to it, it's a non-issue. Never any leaks and fires perfectly.

Unfortunately, that's one of the issues with the Magma, the longer 510 pin.

I use mine on mechs with either a floating or an adjustable 510 pin. Even then, there is still a slight gap. Hopefully, the Chowderhead BF Magma is a bit shorter.

 

[Myah_June2014]

OK, Ty all. As long as it works lol. I hadn't built a coil yet so just wanted to see if anybody else had issues

And just so you no if this atomizer has longer then standard threads . When you try and use another atomizer you may just find they wont make contact in your mod anymore .You will end up crushing your center post gasket if your wrenching it down . I call atomizers that are made like this mod killers . Its a shame that anyone would make such a foolish mistake when designing a atomizer

a lot of magmas had the 510 to long by like .050 or more.
