Rda center posts turning

[element9633]

I have had 2 nimbus rda's and both now have center posts that will turn if twisted. Just my bad luck with nimbus'? No. Just noticed it with my Igo w6. Same thing. What am I doing wrong? And how bad is this and what are the repercussions?

I notice decreased performance but it may be in my head

It can definitely decrease performance, it can really screw up your coil as well as cause a short. I have an Igo W that does the same thing. Just be careful tightening down the positive screw and check your continuity before you fire it and you should be OK.

If mine gets out of place, I take a pair of needle nose pliers and twist it back into position.

So is this a common thing with rda's? I've only had like 3 different ones and it just seems like something that should not happen with a quality product

I've never had an issue with any topper other than the Igo, which is a lower end device. In my case I was the cause, I pressed the center post out to drill it and convert it to bottom feed. I never had that problem with it before.

Some center posts are threaded which eliminates the issue but any rda with a press fit post, theoretically, can have that problem.

I don't have a Nimbus, from what I hear they are a great atty, but I would guess it is press fit.

Hmm ok thanks b2l! Will someone recommend me a higher end rda that is "less likely" to have this problem? Preferably something that can do single double and quad builds

some rda's have posts that are welded. check out some non clones that have good descriptions of what they are made of how it's put together.
