Interesting. juice control open, my Semovar reads 1.7 ohms. juice control closed reads 2.5 ohms. 2nd KF4 on 2nd Semovar reads 1.4 with juice open, E3 (no atty) with juice closed. Both with Semovar hybrid adapter, but would guess that does not matter.

Hope that helps some of you TP folks.

You could try slipping a small o-ring onto the 510 screw to add some resistance. Adjustable pins often have one for this reason.

Maybe I missed what he was talking about, if you try to screw it in all the way it just spins. If it's turning when mounting and dismounting on the mod then an o-ring should help.

Or perhaps I misunderstood. If so, I apologize.

Mine doesn't spin when fully tightened, the JC spring seems to exert enough pressure on the nut to prevent that. But if his spins even so, I would think that adding an o-ring and tightening it to compression would exert constant pressure outward against the screw and help to keep it still.

I got it wrong, the whole piece, the one with the 6 holes for the air spins with the 510 screw.
Ahh that's not right either, I had the whole 510 base spinning when I was looking at it. LOL
Mine tightens up just fine, I don't know what I was seeing the other day.

I recall someone earlier in this thread, having sorted out the free-spinning 510 pin...
Apparently if the airflow grub screw is backed too far out, it causes the 510 pin to spin...my guess is that the 510 pin can't thread all the way in, when the grub screw is too far out.

Yes, the AFC set-screw (grub screw) can get in the way, but even when the base is disassembled the 510 tends to spin when you try to tighten it.

It's not only the grub screw. My 510 used to spin. I just disassembled the base, cleaned it well, and when I screw the 510 pin, with my fingers I pushed the nut down. I'm sure if I force turn the pin it will turn again, but I kept on turning with a screwdriver until it stopped. I didn't exert anymore force.

I can't see why or how a spinning 510 pin is normal...
It has a little insulator on it, and threads into a nut...therefore it should stop spinning when it is properly threaded into that nut.
If mine were to be free-spinning, as a mechanic, I would take it apart and figure out why.

It should be snug...

It will freely spin because the threaded square block of steel that Y'All are referring to as a nut sits inside of a plastic insulator that has a circular outside finish.

Thus nowhere or nothing to stop its movement.

All very clearly illustrated in the parts breakdown.

Have a look see. Can be found on page 1

In My Opinion, Jim

Off topic, but HBcorpse, if that's you in your profile pic, it looks like you've got some clean art on our arms.

They're not free-spinning, but not super tight. They're tight enough to do the job. I actually like the idea of them being able to move, that way they don't chew up the contact on your mod.

I refer to it as a nut because Svoemesto calls it a nut.

The included diagram: part #11...UC counter nut.

You are 100% correct....nut sits in insulator(#10) which is circular and can spin.
