The threads on the airflow ring and chamber top of my gunmetal shift tank are really really stiff. Any suggestions? I've tried vg. The top cap and base work just fine.

Perhaps there is some tiny debris left over on the threads from during the manufacturing process?

Here's what I would try:

1) Use some white vinegar and warm water on a microfiber cloth and give the threads a good cleaning. Like muscles deep into it kind of cleaning! LOL

2) Try using a non-metallic abrasive pad (like a Scotch-Brite pad). I've seen that suggested (with good results) for other RBA threads (and for other kinds of non-vaping stainless steel threads). Then clean the threads afterwards.

If those fail, then perhaps something was not exactly up-to-snuff when your Shift tank was manufactured (tolerances?).

Another option....... If you have more than one Shift tank (lot's of freakin' LOLz, yes SMT, Ange more than likely has a few) try swapping AF rings and chamber tops between tanks. Who knows, might just work.

Good luck

Thank you! I only have four.








So far.
