Short Nautilus heads/Pole problems

[Susaz]

I've had Nautilus tanks since Sept 2014. One by one my heads started failing, I thought they were giving up because they were too old. Bought at my local vape shop a new box of 1.8 ohm heads. Two heads I opened suddenly stopped working. Fiddled a little with the pole and boom, they started working. But, the problem is the pole! There's some sort of ring around the pole that looks rusted or something. I wish I could take pictures. But these heads aren't working in any of them. So I assume that the pole has rusted or it stopped making connection. The floating pole is way down, tried to supplement it with a little metal and pulling the positive up, but the result is the same on all three attys and 6 batteries, with 3 different heads from the same batch. I don't know if anyone has experienced this!

None of my Nautilus tanks will work with my Provaris. May be time for a little redesign from Aspire. I haven't had any other problems so far. Hope someone can help with yours.

First time I've heard of a nautilus not working specifically on a provari, all of mine work flawlessly, have you cleaned the 510 connector thoroughly./
Does the center pin stick out below the threading on your nautiluses?

Scratch on the box authenticates ok. I never heard of this either, and I've had them over 8 months now, three useless clearos.

Mine look like their rusting/gunking too, though they still work. You can get replacement connectors and insulating rings. Thinking maybe I should get some before I need them too!
