Help with my Omega

[MASSACRE SOxCAL]

I took it apart to clean I got it all back together it works great but I noticed the gap where you push down to fire is bigger.I looked at pics of the omega to make shure i wasnt trippin but it is what do I do?
sorry no pics

Use a dime or something slightly thinner to set the gap when reasembling it. Remeber to push on the steel part of the contact as well, it will seat, you will feel it stop

Cool I will try the dime I have to go to work so will have to wait,It works just fine but the gap is bugging me I'm a perfectionist i guess thanks ccdz.

I tried the dime and it worked beautifully,hands down the best PV and customer service on the planet thanks chad.

now that's what I call a 10 cent fix

I know right,now that I know what I'm doing i dont have to worry about taking apart and cleaning.

My wife just bought me a used Blue Ice Omega that I took apart to clean and had almost the same issue. I followed Chad's video step by step, but when I snugged up the first hole and let go, there was no gap at all, it just stayed together! Two minutes later I found this thread, used an old CD as a spacer, and now all is right with the world! Ok, not all, but now I can vape through the crappy parts!

My thanks to Massacre and Chad for a quick and easy fix... I wasn't looking forward to 'fessing up that I broke it first thing!

Very good idea, I am sure I can find a few pieces of broken CD hiding somewhere. My Mastiff puppy love chewing on things . I have a "feeler" gage that I use

 

[upStomp]

Oooh...this gives me an idea.

How about a gapper tool that can double as a lock? Something that clips into the gap so it can't fire, but can also be used to set the gap size when re-assembling.

It could even have a familiar shape:

I like that idea a lot.

 

[cddz]

That is a good idea, wonder how long it would take before i lost it though.... How bout a preset perfect gap of .055in.....

I'll dust off my SolidWorks and get to work .

No prob TNT I love my Omega and I am recomending it to my friends,good idea on the cd for gapping cause I wouldnt want to ding it up with the dime.And upstomp you have a good idea as well with the clip a very good safety measure for attys.

That is actually an awesome idea! If it were made of Delrin so as not to scratch up the finish, it should be cheap enough to buy another when/if we lose it!

I have too much time on my hands...

The Ω-Ring

I don't have any calipers so I didn't do anything exact, but you get the idea. We've got an in-house rapid prototyping machine at work, so I may try this out for real at some point.

 

[Antidevil]

Very cool, upStomp. The feet on the symbol would make it easy to put on and take off, too. I think that fits the definition of serendipitous.

 

[VanderVape]

That little part would be very helpful. I had the issues last nght of where it stayed all the way down, to it looking like a little bobble head and wouldn't fire. Watched the video three times, then understood where the allen screws needed to hit. Searched for a dime and tadda!

Sorry the pic is so big.

The dime works everytime yo!!
That clearomiser looks bad ... by the way

Thanks. I had one left and wanted to see if it would leak or not. It didn't, but the apple pie in it from a different vendor started tasting like plastic, so back to my yeti's. lol

Do they make those clearomisers in LRs?
