You should give it one last ditch effort before you chuck Chucky in the trash. If you can get it working, it's a really nice vape, and pretty easy to build, once you sort out all the places it can short.
For the wobbly 510 pin, you can get one of those Kayfun 510 insulators, stick it in the 510 hole, remove the o-ring from the pin, and screw it back in. I got mine from Lightning Vapes.
Another problem I had was that the post screws scratched the lip inside the chimney, so whenever the screws touched the parts that were no longer nonconductive, it would short. The parts kit that they're sending you should help with that - I heard the post screws in the kit have smaller heads, so hopefully they'll clear that lip in the chimney. When you fill, try not to tighten it all the way or back it out just a hair, just to make sure the screws don't touch the chimney, in case you've scratched it.
Also, check the threading on the post that screws onto the base (negative post - not the one that screws onto the plate). When I got mine, there was a lot of gunk in the hole and on the screw threads. That has to be totally clean, because if there's anything obstructing contact there, it won't be grounding, so it'll short. Clean the post threads, then screw it in and out of the hole several times, maybe with a little Dawn.
Those were the three places I was getting shorts from. If you get leaks too, try a little teflon tape around the threads at the top of the chimney before you screw it into the top cap, and make sure the tank insert is fully seated with the top and bottom clear o-rings in place (on mine, they didn't quite push it in far enough, so it leaked out of the triangles).
It's not all Bad! My FT clone is working Awesome 
No Shorts No Leaks If you get one that works It works really well. The Squape R is one of my favourite tanks
It's works just as good as a Rose V2 or an Erlkonigin.
There is a lot of negatives in this thread but, I'm sure there are plenty of folks like Me who got a good one and really like it

I LOVE mine - it just took a lot to get there.
I ordered a second one from Fast Tech. Hey, for $23.00 vs $170.00... I already made me all new "skinny" posts and new insulators like I put in my first one. Only this time I'm using Teflon instead of Delrin because it has higher melting temperature properties. But, since I'm either using Low Resistance leads welded to my Kanthal or straight Nickel builds for DNA40, I shouldn't be concerned about my insulators melting... Should I? I've been using it for couple of weeks now and my post insulators are intact so far.
SKU 1882100 that particular SQuape does not even exist anymore fasttech has had tons of complaints on that particular clone,Taifun GT,Orhard V4,Magma,Kayfun+V2|,Fogger 5 .I can build all of them with success,Kayfun little tricky when it comes to wicking .Im not bashing are throwing the SQuape under the bus I want 1 that I can actually use without messing up my mods due to leaking,but thank you so much for your suggestions.
That's the same one I have.
It was a pain - I complained to FT about all the stuff that I had to do, and how they weren't able to give me a replacement chimney, along with smaller post screws. They gave me 30% off. I guess they really didn't wanna take it back.
I've decided to sell my genuine Squape R. If anyone is interested, I'm asking $190, which is what I paid for it. Comes with S and W decks and I'll throw in a nano kit.
PM me if you want it before I put it in the Classifieds. Nothing wrong with it. Just tired of maintaining so many attys and mods.

I have tried twice now to order one from Fasttech and they keep wanting a pic of my credit card
I was going to the last time but it says paypal can't be used because of the triangle atty
Sounds weird - the crappy clone I ordered (when it was still called Squape Reloaded Style) was paid for using Paypal. Too many complaints and disputes maybe?
Yeah I believe they were hit with the cease and desist letter
Ah, yeah, I was referring to customers complaining about the crappy quality of the item, then starting disputes using the Paypal dispute system. But that's just me guessing of course.
Better?
This is your picture, I just flipped it over and trimmed it a little bit.
By the way, I like that you wound your coil with the leads over, a lot of people do it under which also works but there is more chance of shorting the coil to the ground tat way. Kudos! Good thinking.
