I've got one that may also need a little of your magic, Rob. The center post (or sumthin) was loose from day one allowing an atty to wobble. No worries. Everything worked fine so I just ignored it. Now the wobble is getting much more pronounced and atty's go cold. Fiddling with the atty will get it firing again. Suggestions please?
As far as the wobble goes that could be your atomizer or the connection itself is worn I wouldn't no unless I checked it out first hand . If you have a atomizer - carto that isn't making contact you can unscrew the atty a half a turn and push the center pin up from the bottom of the mod and snug your atty down. Keep in mind this can be the atomizer or carto and not the mod .I see lots of cartos with center pins that are recessed . It would be nice if all the atomizer manufactures used the same specs but they don't unfortunately and I no there not testing them like they should.
Every 510 connection is set in my lath with a digital micrometer to make sure the depth is correct

Many thanks for your quick response, Rob. As for the wobble, it's been there since day 1 with all atty's. I use primarily standard resistance 510's. I'll try pushing up the center pin. If I can't fix it, I'll send it to you for a look-see. Many thanks!

This one is special and it's my work horse. It'll be tough to part with it :)

OK, off to you it is! I bought another sweet VV as a back up that's never even been fired up. It's time. You, my friend, are plainly awesome. Gotta play this one for you again :)

Great tune thanks for sharing :)
