So I am having issues with a zenith v2 rda that I had purchased recently. My center post rises up and pulls the 510 with it to basically make it to where it doesn't make a good connection with my cana mod or stingrays. I've been having trouble with it on both this rda and my Nimbus (auth). I realize that at times clones can be poorly made. My question is, Is there any type of adhesive that i can use in order to secure the insulators and center post? I heard that some people found a type of silicon that can be used in order to do this but was unable to locate the thread. I really just don't want to have to push the post down after every use if I can avoid it.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it's like the one that GVapers sells, the positive contact in the 510 connection is a screw that should screw into the positive post above which you attach the coils to.

I have a Trident clone that has the same setup and I tighten down the 510 screw so the post doesn't move. The problem I had was the 510 positive connection goes up too high, so the same issue you're having. I took out the screw and made a ring from copper wire, like a washer, that fits under the head of the screw to shim it out a bit. I used copper wire because I had some of the right size and it's fairly easy to cut a piece and form it into the washer shape. Anything will work though as long as it's the right thickness and you can get it to form the right shape. As with everything in vaping, don't over tighten it.

I wouldn't try to glue the post or insulators in place. That post can get really hot and it just doesn't seem the safest thing to do considering you may be vaping some of that glue if things go bad.

Hope it works out for you :)
