you can clearly see the difference

Ive noticed mine is "breaking in" and attys are sittinf flush much easier
Well, I've had the grey one apart, and the pin was soldered I'm place before it was screwed all the way into the brass ring/nut at the bottom of the 510, so it won't be getting any lower. I may dremel it down to remove the flathead groove so my attys sit a bit lower....or I'll just eBay it at a loss and get one with the new connector [emoji3]
Whose to say the new one will be any different? Have YiHi confirmed they are changing the 510 mech or just the brass screw to a non slotted one? All the mini's I have seen all atties sit flush.
Some atties are just junk with overly long 510 threading. Seen the same problems with Varitube and Fat daddy 510s.
Pretty much everything sits flush on mine except the abnormally long 510s, which as you said is the attys fault, even then its a small gap.
The grey one I have is clearly assembled incorrectly, so if I'm going to replace it I may as well get the newer one. From what I've seen the insulator will be a silicone type material on the new version as well as a flat pin...that being said, I'm sure it will operate exactly the same.
Couple weeks, its the non logo version however which I believe is the first batch.
Apologies for my radio silence glad you got this sorted I have zero confidence in most UK retailers and warranty claims but it is known as Rip off Britain!
That washer/insulator/gasket is the one that has gone to atlantis on mine
After reading your post I may well just remove the 510 completely and retrofit a FDV V4 510 that way any probs later on will be easily fixed with avail spares.
The 510 is epoxied onto the aluminium chassis I have to say one of minis has been the mod from hell partly my fault and partly design and materials.
I will post back when I get my life back.
You can see the missing insulator/gasket Technonut has posted about in the PIC below.
Does anyone know a good way to remove epoxy resin will heating it up be the best way?
i'm on the same boat.. thanks for the pics..
i've temporally replaced the missing (broken) upper gasket with a silicone red o-ring of 1.6mm thickness. no spring (another o-ring instead).
that was the only workaround possible without removing the top cap. fixed 510, but it works at least
After having a chance to finally play with my new mini, I can agree that the 510 connector is this device's weak point. I love everything about the unit, except the 510 and the price. Luckily I'm not too OCD and I've used a Vamo, so I can deal with the fact that some atties will always have a gap. I wish they would have cloned a Fat Daddy or Varitube 510 instead of trying to come up with their own.
Some sit flush, some not so much.

Thank you Nikki! I usually only have time to shoot these things at night on a kitchen counter with lousy lighting, and I'm too tired/lazy to break out the camera so I use the cell phone. For you and the mini I decided to make time to shoot them outside in the daylight. I also made sure to position them with only a very little green foliage showing in the background so you northern people wouldn't get too jealous.Are you trying you knock me out of my chair with this porn?

That looks like a pair of nice ....... i want to grab them.
LOL IanD! Probably better ask before you grab.
Just got confirmation that my SXmini is on the way from Ginger Vaper. New batch with 'no groove" 510. I will let you know if there are any other differences from the earlier batches.

This is the sweet spot wattage wise I think. I laugh every time I read threads about the 100+ watt mods and people saying they are future proof or even talking about going up from 100 watts because "it's not enough". It's really startling how some obviously don't understand the relationship between the coil ohm and power.
