Ah...looked like nylon.
Well then if they're similar in diameter to the hole it should be possible to just push the screw in.
I'm hoping its close on size I can probably just threat it with the screw without a tap as long as the ID is slightly smaller than 8-32
Maybe some of you read this too, maybe it's already been posted here but I caught this tonight on ........'s facebook page... a vendor, (maybe the same one who made that video?), while discussing whether or not the #19 was actually intended to be a clone of the Nzonic (which has a magnetic switch) said "They tried to sell me these as an Nzonic clone."
Hmmmm.... I sure wish someone could get a straight answer on *exactly* what it is that Sigelei is "fixing" that the pre-orders are delayed now? The #19 DOES have two magnets in them... they just put one of them in the wrong place... especially if they really are trying to clone the Nzonic.
One can always hope?

Perhaps they are just backed up with the approaching holiday and more than expected mechanical orders and this is what they decided to give as a reason
Or not
I prefer to think that they realized the slanted cap was a bad call and wanted to rectify the error they had made.
Since the switch isnt magnetic, I would prefer plain solid brass contacts. The magnets are pretty much pointless in the configuration they are in currently with the mods that are in circulation.

I have been having a few misfire problems with my #19. I sanded the surface of the magnets to brighten them up as they were dull looking and so far so good.
I also reduced the button throw by cutting a slither from a carto condom (don't have any o rings small enough) and slipped it over as per my photo below. Using a button top battery upside down the throw is now about 1mm. Saves the need for any magnets.

Hoosiervapes DID have them but they appear to be sold out too. I paid $33 for mine there and I love it.
Very interesting. I recently had a fraudulent charge on my debit card as well.
Last Wednesday I got a call at work from my wife asking why there was a charge for "Match.com" on our debit card.
Good thing she works at our bank and was able to cancel the card immediately.

I have to say the tubes and top cap have the best qc and machining ive seen from Segelei thus far. Beautiful mod and the switch is amazing, better than the paps 2.1 switch.
With that said, the magnets are worthless except for maybe hanging your kids homework on the fridge. The voltage drop is pretty signifigant. Without the magnets this mod would be amazing out of the box. Now, it isnt all bad. You can use your 13 and 8 positive insulator and brass pin in this mod. Also the negative magnet can be removed and you can use the solid brass negative post by itself. With those changes the voltage drop is on par with high end mods with brass connections.
The magnets come in a pretty pitiful state with no plating:

Got my #8 and #13 from Vapor Tek today along with some other vapemail, getting ready to sand the end caps to brass. The brushed finish on the tubes is really nice.
