velocity RDA thread abrasion.

[aalmosawi]

So just today after waiting for weeks for my oversees order to arrive I got my velocity rda.

After taking it apart i noticed that it has an abrasion or rather small little bumps in the threads.

i suppose because the velocity has to be pushed in then screwed that may have caused it?

is this something i should worry about? can it be fixed somehow or will this cause me issues?

or is it too tiny of an issue to fuss/worry about?

i am sorry my phone camera is not doing so well but you'll get the idea when you see the not-so-clear pics

Just looks like "crap" machining. - the cap does not require a "push into place" than thread, it just threads on

Shouldn't affect use or aesthetics as it's covered up when the top is screwed on.

yup. its bad ...so then i take it i didn't do it. that's great to hear.
now i gotta find someone that will ship internationally so i can order me another RDA.
i still have the wismec indestructible but i like the velocity more. i'll keep chugging on it.

is there no way to fix these threads though?

If it does not interrupt the action of the threading there is nothing to worry about.

uh oh. then i was doing it wrong cause i was pushing then turning as if by screwing. i guess i dont know how to put this on LOL

Well you do have to "push it down" so the cap can slide over the oring and meet the threads (which is a very "good" push due to the thick oring)

But the line I see in the threads, pointed in the picture, just looks like a scratch on the threads from being machined. Like I said, it shouldn't affect usage, or even be aesthetically displeasing since it is covered when in use

Keep causing confusion.

Yes it is normal to push down to pass the o-ring. Carefully find the threading to avoid cross thread damage.

If the Blemished threads do not cause cap to stop and not screw into place, there is nothing to worry about.
Threads will naturally clean up some with use.

Looks like it got bumped around in a Box full heading to the paint booth.

If it works....................work it!
