I forgot to add that since the pin truly becomes once piece with the rubber washer....you can also sand the plating where the two parts of the pin make contact with each other.....making an overall better conducting pin.
I think I'm going to solder mine together and use a small o-ring underneath. :thumbs: Maybe even replace it with a solid pin.

OK so now I've got my 5 posts hurrah!

I've got the Natural on order with an Innokin SVD (And have only been vaping for a month so you could say that I'm currently experiencing the 'Kid in a candy store' phase that many newbies seem to go through)

I've got an AGA T2 to go on top - This arrived yesterday and I'm looking forward to wick and coil building. First question - Can I use the SVD to test the coils? In all the videos I'm watching everyone seems to test on a provari.

Battery wise I've decided on 18350's and I got a XTAR WP2 charger. Second question - How many spacers do people use to charge the small batteries in it? It came with just 2 and the battery looks a little loose in the charger.

Finally thanks to all the people who have posted on here with the little modifications you can make to improve the mod - I'm hoping all the posts make sense when I have the mod in my hands.

Here's my Natural. You can see that the machining isn't perfect. Overall for what I paid it's not a bad device.

You could try and contact the vendor you bought it from; maybe they'll replace or could send you a spare section for the one that is off on yours.

the only reason they test it on the ProVari cos it has a lot of protection, anyways u can test anything u want just take a caution ;) and im pretty sure u can test the coil with the svd and also can check the resistance of the coil :)

Is the 510 connection flush with the surrounding ring now? I don't see how the tank sits that flush with the standard extended 510 connection. Is this a revision? Or is that tank's connection inset?

I ended up sanding the positive and negative terminals down to where I could just still get a flathead screwdriver to turn. Basically took away a bit of material. Did this at the bottom of the negative terminal too, where it goes into the bottom cap.

Now, I can have the positive post lower, so devices sit near flush, and put my button top 18650 and still close up all the seams.

It's my 30 day vapersary so I figured I'd treat myself and pull the trigger on this. It will be paired with an IGO-L and they'll both be here on roughly the same day I hope. After I get comfy with coils etc on the IGO-L ill be ordering an AGA T2. Not excited about all this talk of sanding down pins etc to get stuff flush on it, I'll have to wait till they both show up to see what the deal is.

It's not such a big deal. You can put an 18350 battery in right out of the box and everything will sit flush and fine. I think the problem is due to the actual length of some 18650's. Mine is a 2000mah, which is just a tad longer than the typical AW 1600mah. I'd assume that one would fit perfectly.

The IGO-L and AGA-T2 both look great and work well on it. You'll definitely enjoy this mod. :)
