So first off im sorry if this has been covered in another post but its late and im somewhat inebriated...... But I just got my russian in today and I cant get the one poste to not wiggle or move. Ive tightened the 510 connection as tight as I can get it but it still ends up moving. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

centerpin connected to the post is in two pieces, you want to tighten the pin that holds onto the build block.

I had the same problem but it does tighten down...

Actually the center pin on the Russian is a two piece. Unscrewit all the way, your coil base will come off. Once you get it out you will see it is two pieces. The outer piece is used to hold the base tight and has a groove for the screw driver. Install that to resecure the base and tighten it down. Then reinstall the smaller center pin...

Someone else helped me...

Good luck!

Really? All on its own or from YOU moving it?

The Post is sitting in a Nylon type Plate/Bushing/Insulator
This is a smooth/compressible/slippery material

Hold the Positive Post plate in position while securing the center pin. Attach Coil assembly. Adjust Positive Plate angle if needed/desired with a needle nose Pliers. Assemble and vape.

The post will only turn once assembled IF you have the adjustable 510 pin over tightened and attempt to adjust.

It was moving on its own and giving me all kinds of different readings, it was at 1.4 ohm and jumped all the way down to .45 ohm then if I just taped the tank with my finger you could see it jump all over. I took it apart and tightened it and rebuilt it and it seems to be better, not jumping anymore. Ill take it apart again today after I vape out all my liquid.

Thank you all for the help.
