Ruining atty with telescopic mod

[ohnoitsthomas]

I currently have a Electric Angel mod, which I love, but once in a while I will destroy an atty by over tightening. The firing pin will completely collapse the positive pin on the atty and some how connect the + to the - ,this will create a short which will over heat my batteries.


Has anyone else had this issue or am I just way to gun ho about my mod being tightened? I recently purchased a 510 to 510 extender/adapter hoping that it has a more robust connection that will be less prone to collapse therefore preventing me from destroying perfectly good atty's!

I've had it with different PVs and attys, I use the adapters to fix the ones that have bad connections.

Can't you adjust the pin on the EA?

Yea i can its just that moves freely, the further I tighten the battery the further up the pin goes. I have been thinking of way to prohibit the movement of the pin with the use of O rings or electrical tape but haven't tried anything yet.
