Please try if you can, maybe there is something wrong with my post or my caps. Or maybe there is just something wrong with me

Vaptamist.... Not..... Not until you are successful.

Where is everybody? Nobody is chiming in. Hello? Hello? Is anybody in there?

Oops! Guess my screen didn't refresh. We got David chiming in. Cool! BTW David: Thanks for the extra o-rings! And, the caps are beautiful!

Just got my ela today! Now, I love my hcigar nemesis, hcigar chi you, and smoktech magneto but honestly I could not stop holding the ela and just staring at it. I think I looked at it more than I vaped on it. What a beautiful pv David! Only tried it on my kayfun lite so far and it's awesome. Thanks!

vaptamist - Been using my new top cap for a few days now. No problems here. Just unscrewed the adjustable post from the original top cap, and screwed it into the new one.

 

[vaptamist]

The oring is a replacement for the adjustable post one, figured peoples might be a bit worn. I just re-measured all the specs, they are identical to your adjustable draw ones, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. Is there something maybe just down in there or on the adjustable post not allowing it to screw in all the way?

Not that I can see. I tried my adjustable post on both the satin and polished solid caps I received and it does the same thing on both - screws in until just past the threading on the adjustable post and then it won't go any further.

If I just push the post in until it catches on the threads, I get maybe about just under one full rotation as I try to screw it in and it just stops. I can get about 2 1/2 rotations on my stock cap.

Pics, sorry for the blur. Lighting is bad in my room.

Thanks! That actually makes me feel better knowing that other people's are working OK. I think maybe the issue is my adjustable post is out of spec, or that I've just damaged my adjustable post's threading over time.

That's strange. Maybe try the adjustable post without the o-ring, just to make sure thats not causing any resistance. Also with the o-ring removed, you might be able to work the threads in and out, in case there is a burr or something? It does sound like there might be something up with the post though, since it's stopping at the same spot on both new caps. Hope you can get it resolved.

 

[Idaholandho]

If in fact, it is a burr, they can be easily removed with very low grit sandpaper. I have used 2000 wet/dry very lightly on a few high end devices threads for like issues.

 

[anavidfan]

I was wondering are you having trouble with trying to put the new top on a satin unit? When I got my satin ELA I noticed that there were less threads on the top cap then on the polished. I can use the polished accent top cap cover on the satin, but I cant put the satin top cap cover on the polished. I compared the threads on both and saw that there are less threads on the satin.

I think snork also noticed something similar on his satin vs polished ELA.

 

[snork]

My Satin new cap has vaptamist's post issue. My polished one does not. They both thread onto the extendable tube fine.

 

[snork]

If I took a crescent wrench and cranked it in (as nature intended) would you all call me a fool or a genius?

Have you tried both of your adjustable posts on both caps?

 

[snork]

I had not.
Now I have determined that my *post* is the monkey's wrench.

I *love* my flower and mag.

 

[Cucco]

I *love* my flower and mag.

I am very surprised with myself. I did not buy any mags. Not sure why. I bought flowers and cross slots.

I knew I wanted a mag. I vascillated between cross and flower.

David (or anyone in the know), question on the 1-Piece Solid Top Cap versus original 2-Piece Top Cap.
Is there was a reason why the original top cap was made in two pieces, just curious?

 

[vaptamist]

The two piece allows you to use either the normal flat cap or the adjustable draw and swap between them. It's a two for the price of one solution.

Unfortunately I don't think that many people use the adjustable draw cap since it only works with normal 510 atomizers, and not tanks or RBA's.

 

[Mondo]

Just to chime in on the fit of the solid top cap - mine came yesterday and I've been using it ever since. It was a simple swap with the old one and the fit is just fine.

I must say, with the flat bottom cap, the KFL with a clear medium tube, and my new Super T drip tip, this thing is sweet.
