I just got a Panzer and an Atomic rda today and it does not sit flush on top of the panzer and neither does the trident v2. Ive seen other peoples Atomic and it seems to fit flush. Whats going on ?

I think you can unscrew the 510 pin by hand. Take the top cap off and unscrew the 510 pin a little ways, attach your rda flush and tighten the pin up to make connection.
nah thats just the battery adjuster pin, i think the contact pin is stuck in place
Sorry, a bit late to this one. Unless the threads are damaged, it will sit perfectly nice. It's the exact same set up I'm using now. Are you able to push the entire brass and copper connection out of the top cap? If this is somehow stuck, it won't sit flush.
Best way to mount any topper is to remove the top cap, ensure the brass part of the contact is pushed right the way in, then screw your topper down. You should see the pin get pushed back slightly. Only now do you need to adjust the copper screw to make contact with the battery. If I try and put the Atomic straight on after using another RDA, it won't sit flush as it can't move the pin back any more as it's against the battery.

Unscrew the top cap, then screw on the RDA. That will allow the floating pin to push in and the device to sit flush. When you screw the top cap back on it won't go on all the way, that's when you screw in the copper pin to allow it to all fit flush.
It should sit flush unless your pin is off. I'm in love with that clone & combo!
I just got the black Panzer clone and mine does not sit flush either. I took off the top cap, unscrewed the battery pin and actually took it out, and none of my RDA's will screw down flush there is about a 1/16 inch gap I guess the connector is messed up. is there anyone that sells just the top cap?
All rip adjusted was the battery pin. That's not my issue with my Panzer. The pin for my battery still adjusts, but the part inside the 510 connection is to far in and doesn't make contact with my atomizers.
You will need to take a small punch of some sorts, remove top cap and batt contact. Give a couple of light taps until you threaded insert is slightly purtruding from bottom of cap. Dont go to far or you will lose your conection. Did it to mine, sits flush and works great!
If no punch, any cylindrical hard object of same diameter of 510 connection (slightly smaller preferably as to not damage threads) will work as well.
You will need to re adjust it for different atomizers. Just remove batt contact from top cap, give the contact a tap from the bottom.
I should just find a specific mech mod to use my Prometheus with, one that self adjusts like my Maraxus clones so I don't have to go through this very much!
You get what you pay for I guess! I live with it for now lol. Really liking the paps one but people are saying that some have an oversized 510 thread (atty will not thread until the last couple and sometimes not at all), wich makes me hesitate to buy.
Its a 3 part set for the panzer contact, batt contact, threaded insert on bottom for contact, then hole in top for floating pin. Sure I saw a thread with a quick google search to drill out insert to make pin float.
Yeah, someone suggested that I file the delrin of the inner pin (after pounding it out) and it should float. Seemed to work. I Love my Panzer, so far out of all my mechs it's my favorite.
My switch keeps coming loose! Put some teflon tape the treaded part of the plunger, but the other day I was out fishing it was coming off after I used it a couple of times lol. Today its fine!

I'm having the same problem. Tried teflon tape also and still same issue. Until I figure it out I just re-tighten it every so often.
