Just picked up a Nimbus from a local vape shop and after uninstalling the rather badly built dual coils it came with, I noticed the center post was twisting with my screwdriver. The entire post moves up and down. Is this normal for this atty? Is this still safe to use or should I try to get a replacement?

Thanks!

The nimbus has two "plasticy" insulators.

One is clearly visible when you take the top cap off around the center post

The second is hidden, you need to push the positive pin downward and pop it out completely.

After you have removed the top insulator and the pin in its entirety, you will see from the bottom another plastic insulator...

Pop that bad boy out and take a looksie.

After about three weeks my IGO-w and my nimbus both had this same issue.

The center positive post would spin when trying to tighten downy build.

I replaced the hidden insulator on both and now I'm good to go!

Hope this helps

That's exactly what the vape shop did. They replaced the insulators with new ones and all is good. :)

Where did you source the bottom insulator from? I am in need of a couple to repair my nimbus.
