RDA Safe Adhesive For A Top Cap?

[WillieB69]

Maybe this is the right place to put this but maybe not?? I dunno.

Anyway, I just bought my wife and I each a little Derringer clone from eBay. Hers is stainless steel and very well made. I ordered mine in black and it's mostly delrin plastic except for the base. Both came from the same seller. The really big problem is my top does not fit snugly and falls off. I was thinking of just gluing it to the body and then I would just pop the whole thing off when I dripped. I was going to superglue it but I got to thinking about fumes from the superglue causing issues.

Should I just give up and order another atty or is there a safe way I can attach the top without it catching on fire or crisping my lungs from glue fumes?

I've got a similar problem at the top of the goblin mini & some of the stumpys. I think I will use a dab of epoxy.

DuPont recommends using epoxy to glue delrin plastic but first the surface must be roughed up with sandpaper. it is too smooth for the glue to adhere to and sanding with create a surface the glue can grip. almost like trying to glue teflon

I thought about epoxy as well. I also have some high temp adhesive stuff I could try. I just don't want any toxic fumes coming off of it when I'm done.

Might just say to heck with it and order another. These were cheap little clones so not a big deal.

Gotta pic?
It's late and I'm tired can't picture what your sayin lol

Maybe a thicker oring or a wrap or two of dental floss/thread under the oring you're using on it now.

Not sure I'd glue it on. Those vapors can't be good for ya

I had some dental floss handy. It seems to be doing the job until I can hunt down a better o-ring.

Thanks!

I agree. The object of the game is harm reduction, not looking for other nasty crap to add in our vapes!

Glad it worked for ya. There's all kinds of MacGyver tricks you can use on mods and attys
