Authentic Velocity Question

[tonystr]

My biggest spend on an RDA. I've got a question for any of you fellas with an authentic.

The top cap is wobbly and can be moved up and down on the subcap threads without turning it. Shud it be like this?

My authentic does not do that.

My authentic does not do that.

Does you top cap move up/down when pulled/pushed.

When i said up & down on the threads i didnt mean that it is jumping the threads, the cap is just taking up the play that is there.

I replaced the o ring and it's tons better, still a bit of up/down movement.

With it rotated to that level it does not move at all. It's rock solid. Only budges by rotating on the threads.

Only time it would move outside of rotating on the threads if it wasn't screwed onto the threads at all.

OK with mine at the same level there is a small amount of play side to side (wobble) and up/down, more than the tobeco clone. Waiting to to hear what avid say. It's defo NOT rock solid. When i first got it, the afc wud spin very freely with the lightest of touch. This can't be right. Maybe i'm too picky.

Yeah I don't get any movement from the AFC Barrel just the overall barrel from the deck if i try to move it but i would expect that of course being no threads involved.

THANX

So for sure you've got no side to side wobble and up down play on the AFC?

Nope. If I try it only moves the entire barrel of the deck.

Thanks for that. Waiting for avid to reply. It'll have to go back. The threads are really loose. FFS I always seem to get sent the shite
