RM2 LP Shorting out

[Merlin21]

Good evening everybody,

Love my trusty RM2 however tonight it failed me. I was using all day and after dinner pressed the button and nothing.... After taking it off and giving it a look I noticed the ceramic base was above the metal lip of the base. Pressed it with my finger and it sat back in to place. Screwed it back on and the same thing happened. I can pull/push gently on the post and you can see the base moving up and down

Is there anything I can do to tighten it up or am I SOL.... I hope I am not as it is my favorite and everyday atomizer.


Thank you for any help folks

Are either one of your posts loose? Somewhere on here is a thread which shows a RM2 dissected. I'd search for ya, but there have been a few too many glasses of wine drank on my part to be effective....

Thank you both for the quick reply. I have seen that however the one I have is the low profile RM2 that doesn't have the slotted pin.... Not sure if it can be done with out unscrewing pin. Post do not seem to be spinning, I tried hand twisting... Ugh I need some wine too...

It's the same, I've used the handle of a file and a metal nail file before to remove that center post. You need to jam something in the 510 center hole that will bite on the sides and allow you turn it.

Since your deck moves my guess is the positive post and possibly that center pin is loose letting the metal disk that they screw into touch the metal base of the RM2

If the base is moving up and down the negative post is broke or stripped . I do have spares and there is another spot to use the post . If your up to fixing it your self pm me . Your welcome to send it in to the shop for repair as well

Just wanted to drop in and thank everybody for their help. I was able to fix it by taking it apart and putting it back together. Negative post (Long skinny one) needed to be tightened more. Also I guess the person who I purchased it from before had taken it apart and had the disk flipped upside causing the 510 pin to be recessed..... I can't believe how easy it is to squonk....lol.... My ring finger is bigger than the other ones now thanks to that work out.
