Precise ELA Telescoping Mod by Super-T!

[snork]

Good question! I just tried it and it worked too. Generally at Super-T it means it's available.

I think if you try to complete the check out or change to brass it will tell you they are out of stock. It's been that way for a while now. I'd like another set of each as well.

I've never seen the engraved tips available in anything but polished, never even seen the option for satin show up. Have one of each in polished ordered. I'd like to have one of those in satin as well.

I guess I need to try mine. I have not tried any of them yet.

Cucco did you ever try it out?

The problem is I dont' have any rhodium plated center posts to spare. I have the stainless steel adjustable holder for the center post(which appears to be the culprit, I'm guessing on these older ela's, the thread major diameter was a bit bigger on them), but I would need your old post to press out and press in. For those who ordered the caps for their newer ELA(this seems confined to the earlier first batch ELA's) you shouldn't experience a problem.

Since I only ordered a Strata for my current Satin ELA maybe I should just order a Solid Top Cap for the newer Polished ELA that is still pending shipping... Flower Power or Mag Wheel

The flower does a great job bringing in lots of air to the center. Especially good for 510 atties that have intake at the connection, like Odysseus and Penelope.

I didnt think there were engraved in satin , but in Vaptamists great macro shots of his satin ELA on previous page, he has one. I hope they make them in satin again.

They had them when the engraved tips were first released.............I own just about every SuperT T Tip, regular/shorties....my favorite is still the Contoured Wide Mouth Stainless Steel T-Tip...

Not yet. I have 5 to test on 2 ELAs. Yuck. I have never even taken apart the top caps before.

I think the Flower is awesome! Because of my history, I would have figured I would go for the mag wheel, but.......

Cucco!
Hi
I felt the exact same, loved the mag wheels but went with the Flower - Got it last week and it is a fantastic design indeed!

Hi David,
Im posting on behalf of my friend Theo. His ELA unfortunately did not make it to his house. Reason i am posting on here is because he has not heard a Email response from you. This is very un like you guys. Please check your email and help resolve this problem. His Order number is 16201. Thank you!

 

[Idaholandho]

I tried this too. Checkout will not complete

I emailed them last week about this when I ordered my Strata as I wanted to order. Never heard back

Or if anyone here has stainless accent rings and would like brass instead ide be happy to trade! my brass accents are in perfect shape and I can polish them up be4 I ship (they do tarnish rather quickly)...btw for those who seen my earlier posts about a good rda/rba for the ELA! lol since I missed out on the strata...I went with the Loki labs Omega rda Looks pretty slick on the ELA with adjustable dual 4mm holes, deep juice well...CLOUDS! loven it.

We've narrowed the problem down to the center posts, evidently, some of these older center posts are tighter for some reason in these new caps. All the center posts we have in stock now screw in no problem, it's people with older ELA's that are having the problem so it appears. If you send us the caps and center posts, we'll make them fit for you, even if we have to replace your screw in center post holder. I know it's a pain, but there is no other solution. I can tell you the caps are machined to the exact same specs (I double checked), so its not the caps themselves.

If you are having this problem, send your cap and screw in center post to:

Super T
Box 331
Sauk Rapids, MN 56379 We'll put a rush on them and get them right back out to you.

I received my top caps today and unfortunately it looks like I'm one of those affected. The center post threads in for maybe a half-turn then binds.

Just to be sure, when I send them back, will the modification be done to the center post threading or the top cap's threading? I have a second ELA on order and I want to make sure I can interchange all parts between it and my older ELA. If I send back the center post and top caps will they still work on my older ELA's top cap? Should I send that back as well?

Edited for clarification

Out of curiosity, I decided to see if my center pins were interchangeable and they are not. The center pin that came with my satin fits on the polished but the one that came with my polished does not screw in to my satin top cap.

Somehow the threading on my original ELA is different to the threading on the newer satin. I can not inter change the outer accent top cap cover on them. On the top caps and covers I can see a difference in the threading. I can visually see that there are more threads on my original ELA than my second one. That must be affecting how the center pin screws in. There must also be some differences in the threads on the center pins that I can not visually see.

I worry that if someday I want or need a new center pin for my original one that it may not fit. I also worry for those who got the new top cap. If they modify the center pin to work with the new top cap will it work with their original top cap and cover.

Does anyone know how often Dave stock in accents? I need to get SS. Thanks

Seems the question on a lot of peoples minds. I hope soon. Dave only has one giant CNC machine, so he is probably trying his best to get things done and will make some up as soon as he can fit it in the schedule.

Hey guys, is this the right place to ask troubleshooting questions? I have the flat bottom on my ELA. Every now and then it gets hot. My cousins said he even saw little sparks right now after i took a hit. I made sure i dont have any shorts on my build. Im running a Dual Micro coil patriot. Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

Also with the flat bottom, the button gets stuck on firing when i release every so often. HELP PLEASE!

Hi mate,

Unfortunately the only fix is to send it to Nighthawk.


JK..I am assuming it's the SuperT flat button and not the aftermarket? Sounds like your spring is bent somehow.
