It's all good. This is a fun thread.
Seen this issue before as well. The white plastic (Delrin, Teflon?) spacer can become compressed after use. If you need to extend the positive pin a little (the long threaded pin that goes all the way from base to top nuts) you can pop the spacer out of the base from the inside and put in one of the extra tiny o-rings Jim provides and then reinsert the spacer. Also, be sure to recheck the bottom nut in the top cap after putting on a PV. Sometime the center pin gets pushed up a bit when you twist it onto a PV and the top will loosen (it's very sneaky - this one got me - when you take it off the PV it tightens back up so you only see it if it's on a PV Pretty good)
Thank you, not sure where to find a washer that small![]()
Glad to hear its still epic LOL. I am going to try cleaning that center tube tomorrow and hopefully have her firing up how she should.
I have a few questions before I get one of these please , I've seen Pyrex glass tanks for the short DID , are there any for the normal big DID ?

is the coil chamber small compared to a cobra or AC9 or other RBA's ? would you say the TH is hot and spicy or cool and airy ?
Should I get the 1.2mm top cap ? thanks
Yes, Jim sells them on his site. I would post a link, but Jim's site must be down right now.
All your brass contacts including the long center pin should be shiny brass when done. Any black at all will effect performance. If your cape cod is not doing it - get some autosol paste - that has grit in it and will clean them well. Just make sure to to wash then in Dawn dish detergent and scrub off all remaining polish w/toothbrush from threads and crevices where any might be - mainly the center pole and nuts.
