show me a picture of the 510 and i will tell you what sort it is if i can

This is the one, it's 16mm in diameter.

This is the one, it's 16mm in diameter.

Can be useful to pick up some varying size 510 screws for atomisers.
I have had to keep loads for squonk mods and have changed a few regular ones too.(differing head thicknesses is key)
innokin coolfires use those rubber based 510 connectors so your often get a gap with long pins. They do help to stop juice from seeping into the mod though.

I have some 510 pins laying around. I measured the 510 connections of my Lite and Dvarw, the latter has a 0.5mm longer 510 so those atty swirl protectors should solve the problem. Thanks, now I have an alternative in case I need it. By that time the connector might have run in a bit, apparently it does soften up after some use.

I would say that's a modmaker 510 it may well be the 12 mm nut version it could be the newer 10mm but I expect it's not, lots of varients if you overwind the 510 or have a longer positive pin in the atty you will push the end off the 510 i.e it will collapse an easy work around is a swirl guard as mentioned

That's really useful information, thank you! It's just like I feared, but I feel that it's gradually becoming easier to screw the atty on. So I think it still had to break in a bit too.

I'd say it's the steelabs/moddog glitch 510, there's a silicon donut instead of a spring, as you tighten it down there will be more resistance

It would be simple enough to check by giving the core a poke with an non conductive object to see of its hard or soft when pushed against

That's exactly what I did. But I felt way more resistance than with normal spring loaded 510 pins and I wasn't sure if that was normal.
I've been using it for some time now and the the silicon donut seems to have softened up a bit. So far everything looks and feels OK, thanks for the info!
