I got my Roller recently, and right off it worked fabulously, but lately I've run into a problem with the top pin, it seems to be just a little screw that you can adjust, but it does not stay put, and if I screw it all the way down it will not fire my Kraken, so I have to adjust it up, but it won't stay put because it just spins freely, so it moves and I can't keep it where I want it. Now when it fires the Kraken it fires weak, or not at all and that screw moves around. I think there has to be something I'm missing here. Anyone care to clue me in?

It is indeed just a little free moving screw. You're not missing anything.
And it's not adviseable to put an oring under the screw cos if you do, the pressure of the atty will probably cause the head of the screw to snap. So says the Atmizoo site.
Yes - I've just bought a used roller with a snapped screw head.

Okay, got it... bummer in the summer. I was thinking of putting a very thin little plastic washer under that screw head. Perhaps a better approach would be to find a better screw, with a thicker head to put in there.
Hard to know what to do. I'd be tempted to mail Atmizoo and mention you are running the recessed 510 and want to raise the pole screw and ask for advice. If you do so, I'd be interested in reading their reply.
First task is to take the pole screw out and investigate under the head. There you will probably see a groove for an oring to sit. That oring is for when you are running a "classic" 510 connector - to raise the pole screw. But the Atmizoo site mentions at least twice the requirement to remove this oring when using the recessed 510. So you need to investigate the underneath of the pole screw head and ask yourself about how it is going to handle the downforce of an atty - maybe a washer of some kind will work. Maybe it won't, and you'll be out of pocket for a further 20 euros for a couple of new screws.
Seems to me that the roller is designed with an atty in mind that has a very precise depth of 510 pin. And that your problem would not exist if the pole screw were reverse threaded.
A better screw, a flat head, slightly thicker, seems the way to go but be aware that it needs to be of good connectivity. And good luck finding it...
As for me - my seller does not believe he sold me a roller with a snapped pole screw head
Well I think that screw must be of some standard size, metric, with a standard thread pitch, and there has to be somewhere to get a screw that fits domestically instead of paying them another 20 euros for that one itty bitty little screw.
I can't argue with that. I will start looking around, but for them to design the mod with that very precise 510 pin depth is really not a smart thing to do at all. In the real vaping world that's not how it works at all.

Oh sure. He sold it because of that, and of course he's denying it.

Good luck finding one, and please report back. I've bought 3 Atmizoo mods in the last 2 months and want to learn stuff. It seems like not many here have Atmizoo mods so not much user experience to pick up on.
Agreed. At the very least, a strong, reverse threaded pole screw.
I'm probably going to keep it cos the price was good, get new pole screws and then send him the broken one. And also ask him how he reckons the switch is upside down too... did that happen in the post also?
I would wrap some Teflon tape around the threads as tight as you can and only one wrap.
