Ok...
Should have been a little clearer. My understanding is that the contact post that is insulated from the adapter housing via a rubber bushing does move up/down-- which is probably what is keeping me from shoving the center post of my atty into itself.

& being as the adapter is newly threaded, it may need a little working before an atty fully seats or seats better-- & of course I assume we all know how to thread things correctly... & we should all know better than to void a warranty.

I use the noalox sparingly on the tube threads only--NOT on my battery contacts (by the way I use 2 flat washers & 1 lock washer under my switch post).
Minimal throw, No jiggle, 100% firing.

Should try noalox on the contact screw also. It works wonders...

I don't think the center post on the adapter is movable. It is delrin and is a hard plastic in the adapter and the atty has a rubber insulator that will give up much quicker than that adapter. You can move that insulator in the adapter by hitting it with a hammer but doubt you will move it with an atty.

Yes, a little working can sometimes be needed, but one must be careful that this doesn't entail screwing the atty all the way down to past where it is supposed to sit.
I get contacted nearly every day by customers who have overtightened their atomisers to the point when they stop working or cause shorts.

I actually thought the adapters were machined so that a typical joye510 atty WOULD NOT seat flush w/ the adapter-- this is not the case, you can actually pop out the center post/Delrin sleeve & cut off the air to the atty by over-tightening... but on several other 510 adapters, it won't seat-- close, but it won't seat.

Hey Lisa,

What I do, is keep some dead attys in my vaping tool box. When I get an adapter with tight threads I can work a dead atty in and out, to loosen up the adapter threads. Better than risking a good atty.

Johnny, that is EXCELLENT advice, I will pass it on to my customers, thanks very much for that (what beats me is why I didn't think of it)

...& if a spring issue arises have a look @ THIS. If you haven't already... or is PS shipping non-conducting springs yet?

Aloha!

Lisa!! Thank you SO much for posting that picture of the shorted atomizers! We've been trying to get a good one for a while now, and it just doesn't clearly show a shorted atty. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!

 

[Lisaf01]

You're most welcome, Casey.
If you want the bigger images just let me know, I'll email them to you.
I just opened a return from a customer today with some even worse ones in it, I'll take photos of these ones later too.

 

[Casey@PS]

I had a whole box of shorted attys that I've tried taking pics of, but they just don't get the depth. If you wouldn't mind shooting me some of those photos (you've got my email I think), that would be amazing! Thank you so much!

 

[Lisaf01]

Consider it done, Casey.
