Issue with the new 510s?

[redeyedancer]

It is. I waited until the change was made and he retrofitted the retrofitted mods before ordering one with the new 510.

Why wouldn't tightening the atty cause the screw to rise? If it's making contact with the positive pin on the atty, and that pin is moving clockwise, why wouldn't the screw move clockwise with it?

It cant move because you have a left hand and a right handed thread working against one another . Turn the atty to the right it moves down . If you turn the adjustable grub screw to the right it will do the o posit . The only time the adjustable post in the 510 moves a little is when you remove your atomizer . Hope that helps

Right. Exactly. But at the point where they start to meet and I give it that extra...say, 16th turn, won't they both turn together, snugging it up even more?

If your atty is screwing down, with pressure on the 510 grub screw. How in the world would the 510 grub screw come up? Your atty will stop when it hits the grub screw. Not rocket science here folks

Look up to my comment above this. As the two make loose contact, they'll both be turning in a fashion that brings them together tighter, won't they?

Also, there's no need to be a jerk about it. I promise you that I'm not dumb. I'll bet I even know more than you about some things. And if those things come up I won't make a comment about you being a dummy.

 

[coaldriller]

Not being a jerk, or saying that you are dumb, but they just won't turn together with one being the opposite thread direction. That's why one is reverse thread, to act as a stop, and be adjustable. Sorry this offended you, but like I said, it's not rocket science

I like the idea of using the atty base as a wrench like super x mentioned. It makes perfect sense to back out the screw one whole turn, then tighten down the base of the atty and loosen then tighten, loosen tighten repeatedly until you have your coils/air holes where you want them and knowing you have a tight solid connection between the 510/atomizer. I'm gonna have to try this with mine when I switch out atomizers.

Well the wrench method has not worked for me thus far. I can't seem to get the atty tight enough. I pull it out of my cargo pockets and the atty is loose. Not gonna give up though.
On another note, I found the source of my leak. I managed to puncture the feed hose. I couldn't see it unit I went to pull the hose off to check the tightness of the center pin. Replaced the hose...so far so good!!!!!
My only suggestion would be to make the hole in the delrin a little bigger so the hose goes over the tube easier. I used a file and widened mine.

What atty you using? All I can think the prob may be is that the center post on the atty itself is moving up when you tighen it loosening the atty in the end.

 

[SteamStack]

Maybe put some kind of grip material under the atty base so it holds/grips tight on the lp base?

Interesting read ..... while vaping my non leaking non loosing indestructible (for me) 2011 and 2012 connector equipped REOs with no O-rings under the attys and the air holes right where I like them.

I really really want one of those sexy looking Gold anodized Grands Rob put up ...... I do not want this new connector though.

Sorry Rob, I understand that some people can't have nice things but I take care with my stuff and have never ever had an issue with any of my old school 510s except once when you had some bumm gaskets in the shop.

I hope you have pile of old stuff sitting in the shop so if one ever fails I can request it be rebuilt with the old style.

The only thing I've broken on the old 510 was the feed tube nipple while pulling the feed tube off during cleaning. I appreciate that the new 510 is much stronger.

Well Tim the new 510 is awesome I find it rather strange that a couple of people having a problem out of thousands of reo users with the new 510 would make you not want the new 510 . Yes I have lots of the old 510 connections and I agree for most of us they were just fine . I can assure you with all these new 22 mm atomizers the old setup wasn't good enough for the modern vaper

Is the center pin of your 510 reverse threaded or is it one of the early ones?

That is an excellent question, FB. The problem described is exactly what happened with my first new 510, an inability to adjust the atomizer properly with small leaks.

RJ, if it is the incorrect screw, send it in. Robert had mine fixed and back out the day that it arrived in Main, he wastes no time letting wait for repair. I liked the fix and sent my other in for re-furbishing.

I have a bunch of REOs and have always needed O-rings on every one to get my Hornets and RM2s oriented correctly. While I agree that because of my OCD nature, I will need to carry a small piece of that Allen wrench or the whole wrench depending on if I carry my briefcase or not but the comfort in having a 510 connector that I can't crush with a large, highly-torque friendly atty is worth it. Since I just added some Nuppins to my atty collection.

I remember working with Rob and Budz Worx oh so long ago to get the ERA atty 510 dimensions adjusted to keep folks from shorting atties and now Rob has provided protection from just such an issue. I've just had 5 of my REOs converted and bought an additional 4 recently with the new connector. I am happy with my decision. I get that other folks don't need the modification but the masses/hooples are the ones this connector was added to protect. Hopefully Rob can spend more time building mods and not dealing with repairing shorted connectors. However, the Buna corp is going to see a masisve slide in their business.

Good to know ..... Really it wasn't the few users having issues, I didn't want it before it even became available. Once something works perfect for me I really hate changing things up.

I'm glad its working out for almost everyone though and applaud your efforts to make things better for everyone that needed better.

Take care

EDIT: I am absolutely NOT the modern vaper though I'm stuck in the old days with 14mm attys single coiled above an ohm.

I hear you Tim I am old school as well small single coil atomizers .

So the Nuppin RDA shouldn't have any shorting out issues with the top cap if we have the new 510 on the Reos? I'm just curious what this shorting issue is with the top caps. It's a new thing to me as I'm a recent Reo convert and haven't had to think about shorting with the caps on my old mech mods.

Thanks!

Any atty will short to a metal topcap if your coil hits it. No exceptions.

It has nothing to do with the connector the atty screws into (the 510).

[Filthy-Beast]

I'll add, as the RBA chamber gets smaller it easier to short a coil on the wall of the top cap because there is less clearance. Also metal drip tips can protrude inside the RBA top cap and again as things get closer it's easier to short on a coil or post.

Also the new Nuppin does not have a stop to keep you from pushing the cap all the way down to the posts. This will not be a problem on a Reo because the top of the Reo stops it, but could be if for some god awful reason you put a Nuppin on a ego battery.

 

[UltimateTimmah]

Thanks guys! That makes total sense. I always thought of those shorts, but, I read somewhere about the top cap on the Nuppin touching the base could cause shorts or something. And I was confused on that statement, especially since the v2 doesn't have that cuff at the bottom to stop the top cap.
