Wouldn't it make sense to make the stealth cap out of stainless steal as well to maybe prevent this from happening

I am going to the Philippines in Dec imeo would u mind if I had them make one in ss for me they could make it in the black ss I am have some of my jeep parts made in ss while I am there?
If you make one just for you there is no problem at all Adam. Please do it and post some photos too
Yes of course imeo only for myself I don't know if it is even possible for them to do it It was just a thought I haven't the time or expertise to copy anything. If you are gong to sell the stealth cap in ss later I can just wait for it. I don't any bad feelings you just get so spoiled with the gg products it scares you u might have to use somthing else in the meen time. Thanks for the help Adam
I am still working on steel caps Adam. I hope that I will solve the problems that I have now with them. You can wait a little more but if you still want to do it then its more than ok with me. i thank you too for your honesty
No problem imeo I will wait for u do make one. But like Poppa says maybe and ss to go into the brass first that stays there all the time. I was thinking I will just put an 510 to 510 adapter in the stealth in the future but they get stripped to. maybe a small ss one like the one you made for the ufs so u could use a drip tip "I think" It would be able to thread in and out when you want maybe. Thanks Adam
What if the connector was made out of a SS ? The Stealth could be brass with a removable SS connector. This would make the stealth adaptable to all the different atomizers and durable enough for the SS Iatty.
I see what you mean Poppa. But then we would have an issue with the connector. He would get unscrewed easily if we screw hard an atomizer on it
I understand, but if the brass threads are stripped how does that work?
You get a replacement cap and be more careful with it next time. It would take major modding to repair the stripped cap. Para might be able to do it, but There is not enough material to drill it out and either press in or tap in new threads. It would have been possible if there were not a channel around the connector, especially that deep. You may be able to use the same method Para does for repairing the GGTS connector, but you would have to be really careful. With the TS connector repair, the catch tank takes most of the side to side pressure. With the stealth cap, it takes all the pressure.
I could be totally off base here. Will someone more qualified jump in here please?
Thread it up from the bottom like the plastic insert that isolates the center pin. With the same lip it would retain itself.
I think this is a good idea. It would make it not a solid piece but it would keep the brass look (awesome IMHO) but still not have to worry about ever ruining the threads. And if you reverse threaded it it would never come lose when tightening an atty.
Now if making stealth caps out of SS isn't an issue then I guess this would only be a problem for those of us who prefer the brass look more. But it is an option if it isn't possible.
I know I for one am hoping that the SS Stealth caps become feasable. As beutiful as the brass accents are, if we can get steel caps at some point, now that will be the ultimate in "working art".
After seeing Imeo's first video of the Odysseus with a steel cap, I get the feeling he may be on the way to resolving that issue. I must admit too though that the idea of internal threading for the Stealth cap in brass via a solution like the insulator cap in the GGTS collector tank does sound appealing. Just not sure how realistic it would be to machine a part that small out of stainless though...

I will admit that I don't know the first thing about machining any metal let alone SS but I would think it wouldn't be that hard. Start with a SS tube 5-6 mm outside dia larger then 510 threads and ID 1-2mm smaller the 510 threads (however deep you cut the threads. Thread the whole center of the tube with 510 threading. In the bottom half screw in a derlin piece with a hole through it that the posative pin can thread into.
Then turn the top half of the tube's outside dia down to the thickness you would like the wall of the connector. And thread the bottom half to screw into the stealth cap.
In the stealth cap put a hole in the center that is threaded to the bottom half of the connector. Like I said before reverse threading would make it so it doesn't come loose when you tighten an atty down.
Maybe this isn't as simple as I see it in my mind like I said I have 0 exp working with metals but I honestly can't see how this could be any more difficult then the other GG parts other then the fact that it is smaller.
The issue is only with Iatty. And of course it will work with Iatty1 by making steel caps. I will find the way. I am mule. There is no way to not do it buddy!
Imeo,
I apologize for upsetting you, I do not feel that you are a mule. You are the one capable to make these parts by your design. Forgive me for commenting on the discussion.
