I finally got some free time and switched out the Tilemahos V1 screws to the Springomizer.
It worked out perfectly! This new part has more contact to the wire so it hits like a beast. There is space on the side that I didn't see before inside the housing.
To be clear: The air flow is exactly the same as I had before the new part.
Pictures as promised:
The bottom of V1 and V2 housing with the channels lined up we can see the holes are different. But it doesn't matter... I thought it would affect the air flow, but it doesn't.
With the V1 pin and the V2 housing into the Non-AFC base we can see that the V1 pin is not long enough. But it is really because the V2 housing has a lip/stopping point so I can't screw the housing all the way in. With the V1 housing I can screw it all the way into the base.
Here is the new part with the V1 pin, the V1 Non-AC Base, and the V1 housing. This is how the pin should be.
I took pictures of the new part and the V1 base and you can see that there is space in between, especially on one side of the new part.
A picture of the actual new part.
0.5 Ohms after a test fire. I have some of the springs but I decided to go with titanium wire. Now it's rocking.
It was a good day. I got the Springomizer going and I made 240 milliliters worth of juice.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
