Please help - z atty pro - center post popping

[Frostedflames]

This just happened to me I woke up from a nap grabbed my PV hit the button and nothing happened popped the top cap off and notice the center post popping out. I have had my zap for about a month now so at first I was a little freaked out lol its my only rba and I literally can't vape anything else now I need to get some cheap clones or something.

Anyway I ended up taking it apart and putting the top post with the delrin and the whole body into some near boiling water for a little took em out dried them and press fit the top post back in it was a tight fit and it feels pretty snug. I just think over time liquid goes down the center and lubricates the center post. Rebuilt a nice coil and im vaping again was about a 15 minute ordeal 10 of those minutes in fear haha.

And here I am again being that guy necroing threads

The older ones were glued in, with a little super glue around the bottom of the delrin piece. They still popped up, occasionally; although I've never had one pop, personally. I believe the newer ones are just press fit.

It popped right back up after about a hour....gonna have to glue it meh.

This is bull .... quite frankly I don't think I will be purchasing anything else by zen.

Ended up gluing it with Gorilla brand Crazy glue like others posted, seems to be working out while yes it was a simple and easy fix. I still find it really ridiculous that on a $150+ RBA we have to deal with stuff like this. When I purchased it I was under the impression I would be getting something as reliable and well built as the Provari, not ending up gluing a piece that is vital to its operation in less than 2 months of use.

Makes me really hesitant to pick up that Sidewinder (I've read requires brass upgrade) I have been eyeballing or a even Zenesis.
