Hey guys,
I bought my first rta system not really having any experience with them in the past, as I generally stick to rebuilding my Vivis/Protanks, and rotating with Cisco bridgeless atomizers when I feel like dripping. Anyway, I bought the Russian 91% V3 from vapordna at this link - Russian 91% Atomizer
The reason I'm linking is because I've had no issues with them as a vendor. Great customer service, good price, fast shipping, etc., and I also wanted people to know exactly which Russian I'm talking about, as this is one of the newer models.
Anyway, my issue is that one of the post screws is wobbling around in the build deck. It's the longer one sitting on top of a white base thing. I've researched the issue and people say that the center pin is actually two pieces, so you must take it out of the device, take apart the center pin, and go from there. The issue is that my center pin really is just once piece. I've taken it out of the device, and tried to disassemble it but it's just not possible, and I fear that if I tinker too much or in a stupid way, I could ruin the center pin with my pliers.
I've also tried screwing in the center post so tight that the wobbly screw part stays still, but that doesn't work either. Even if it the center post is so tight that it doesn't work on half of my devices, the thing still wobbles in there. It's pretty frustrating and I'm at a loss of what to do.
My fear is that this V3 (which is advertised as only having changed the drip tip to 510 standard and upgrading the stainless steel parts) has changed the center post into one piece without advertising that fact, which would make the device pretty useless as it constantly shorts out. Any advice/experience with the V3?
Edit - For clarification, my center pin is spring loaded, and when you look at it from the bottom, does not have a flat-head screw like the videos I've seen on youtube. If you look at it from the bottom, you just see a solid center pin without any screw (flat-head nor philips-head).
