Herakles not firing..

[RandomStranger]

I just recently bought a herakles tank and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Flavor and vapor production is awesome. I took it off and refilled the tank and went to screw it back on my kbox when i noticed it sitting weirdly at an angle. Didnt think much of it so i went to hit it and would not fire. I then pushed it and heard a click and saw that it was now straight and now it hits like nothin was ever wrong...what causes this odd tilting..? Anyone else have this problem..?

Sounds as if you cross threaded the connection when you screwed it back in. That click you heard may have been things realigning, which would not be a good thing. Check your threading carefully to make sure you didn't mess things up.

Agreed, almost positive some cross-threading action happened. Sometimes it'll permanently push the threads outta wack, but it's possible it's totally fine. A visual inspection should let you know what went down.

If you have other atties you can try (gently) attaching them to make sure they thread on okay. Don't "crank" anything if it doesn't feel right, as you don't want to potentially cross-thread more tanks (or more devices) depending on which threads got bent.

I checked threads and all seem to be fine. The tilting was on the tank itself..around the heat fin area
