TL;DR at bottom for those who don't want to read history and just want a tip for their stripped triangle key or know the answer .
So I got my Mutation X V2 about a month and a half ago... And it has been the only rda I've used since then. That being said, I normally rebuild at least once a day out of sheer boredom or experimentation... It got to the point where my triangle key couldn't tighten down any gauge wire to where it wouldn't wiggle. I kept hearing others having success with screws from other attys... Yet of the other 8 I own none did >.< I hate(d, we'll see how this fix works) the screws for ruining an otherwise great atty. Frustrated and desperate to fix it, I picked up my jewelers clippers and snipped the few millimeters that was stripped off. All I can say is wow... It's a lot better now. Not only is it (obviously) not stripped anymore but since it's bulkier it fits a bit better and I haven't had it spin on me yet once, even when tightening down 20g. That being said, I still hate having to keep track of that hard to replace odd little key rather than being able to use a screwdriver... I've asked this question multiple times and people either tell me M2.5x4mm or M2.0x4mm (I know jack .... about screws and their measuring units btw so this is just regurgitated information). Which one is it? (For the authentic I think, got it on ebay from a guy with good rating, came in authentic box with extras n' stuff so yeah ^_^ ) Thanks in advance!
TL;DR:
Stripped your triangle key for the posts? Clip just the stripped part off with your heavy duty kanthal clippers, it'll work better than new since it's wider and fits the screw head more securely.
Also, what's the post screw size? I keep hearing M2.5 & M2.0 both x4mm... Which one?
