Got my copper plume veil clone from FT about 2 weeks ago only built on build when I first got it (dual parallel 26g .22ohms) has worked beautifully with no issues. I decided to do a new build on it last night & now it will not fire or get a reading from my ohm reader no matter what kind of build I put on there. I did 5 different builds on it none of which worked. The center post rotates not easily but it does move, which I thought was part of the design. I'm really bummed out cuz this is by far them best rda I own & when working it hits like a dream. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm thinking of getting a v1.5 hopefully they fixed this issue with that one if not I'll just get the authentic
Plume Veil center post issue

the center post shouldnt be moving-i just recently broke down a plume veil clone, and the positive pin is in two pieces-you should be able to hold the center pin and tighten up the 510 connection positive pin with a flathead. may be possible its just not connected.
Thanks!! I will try that when I get home. So the positive block should spin independently to the 510 screw? Is it reverse threaded? You say the positive post shouldn't spin but I thought that was part of the design to accommodate quad coil builds
I have a fasttech plume veil and recently experienced a spinning center post when tightening down one of my positive leads. Although I've never had the issue of the RDA not firing. Tightening the 510 pin might solve the connection problem, but you'll have to learn to live with the spinning center post.
The spinning doesn't bother me at all. I kinda like it but I just can't get it to fire
What mod are you using? It may just be the 510 contact in the mod needs to be adjusted to complete the circuit.
the postive block should not be spinning at all. the only way i was able to get mine from spinning was to not push it in all the way-which can also cause the 510 positive pin to not make a connection, which would in turn not fire.
this is the example of the positive center block and positive 510 pin that connects it:
and this is an example of how it should and shouldnt look-the incorrect one shows too much insulator-its seated too high which allows it to spin and also not seated enough into the base so that the positive pin can connect to it.
my first instinct on guessing what the issue is, is that the positive pin and/or positive block is just sitting there, if you can spin the positive block but the 510 positive pin it connects to doesnt spin, that might be a good indicator that it might be causing the issue.
As far as building quad coils, i wouldnt really recommend the plume veil as the most efficient platform to build that on due to space and not very good airflow setup on it for quad coils, but you still could.
I'm using an akuma clone but it wouldn't fire on my stingray or panzer either. Won't give me a reading on my ohm tester either
Thank you santoki!! That was the root of my problem. I held the center post in place & screwed in the 510 clockwise & sure enough I'm now getting a ohm reading & she fires!! You just made my day thanks!! I had no idea you could remove the 510 without ruining the rda
I'm having a similar problem on my Plume Veil clone. Out of the box it worked like a champ. Day 2 and a new build, and there seems to be a short at the bottom of the center post. Lights up like a little ring of fire. Seems to only happen when it sits with some excess juice on the deck. Dry it a bit and it fires, but seems to lag a bit. Any tips or anyone know of a replacement center insulator?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the same issue, it is caused by the positive post lifting up. Take your top cap off and remove the RDA from a mod and push down on the positive block and you'll see the bottom pin coming down. Last time I buy a cheap clone.
Yep. Mine does the same thing. My problem is that when I tighten the pin it sits recessed inside the threads. This is not a problem for my nemesis mech. But it is for my sigelei 150 watt. It doesn't make contact with the spring loaded pin in the sigelei . Anyone have any ideas on that?
