How to adjust the centre pin?

[maustin42]

Hi,

I've just got a Tesla Invader 26650 box mod and my subtanks won't fire on it. I have checked the mod with a multimeter and it is showing 4.1v when the button is pressed. I'm therefore assuming the issue is with the connection to the tank. The tank works fine on my snow wolf.

So, my question is, can the centre pin on the mod be raised?



Any help will be much appreciated,

Many thanks,
Maustin42

It's difficult to tell from that picture, if there is a screw head in the 510 pins top it MIGHT be adjustable but from the look of that picture it's a fixed pin, If it's really a pain then you could replace the 510 with an FDV one from Stealthvape, should just be a matter of unscrewing the old one and swapping the red wire from the old one to the new, very basic soldering skills would be required...

Hey tubby, there is no adjustable screw head in the 510 pin itself, I was hoping for some adjustment inside to push it further out but can't see anything to adjust. I'll just order a replacement from stealthvape then. I can do basic soldering but it is a confind space so I guess I push the wire out the hole to solder it? Many thanks for your help.

Looking at the picture, the brass ring section below the threaded portion of the 510's body will probably unscrew, that should allow you to remove the pin from the 510 and allow easy access for soldering...

One other thing that might work is to remove the pin assy and carfully file down the thread section of the 510 body. You could try rolling a small piece of bluetack into a ball, placing on the end of the atty and fit n remove it...by looking at the squished bluetack it should show the distance between the atty and the 510 poss pin.

I have a kanger that has a similar issue, I take out the battery for safety, I then get the smallest flat blade screwdriver from the set I use for coils, the poundland set, I then just go around the 510 top connection to gently lift up back up, it works then, worth a look if you can do the same

You could always try these.. https://www.fasttech.com/p/2727400

They have been a savior to me on a couple of occasions, and come in handy for those really low builds on some drippers by letting the heat dissipate before getting to the drip tip.

Or you could go 'basic' on it. A fine file, or grinding wheel on a dremel, and just 'ease' the positive pin on the subtank.
Worked a treat with my zephs.
