Not sure how good these are: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10005381/1589801-stainless-steel-flat-top-cap-for-chi-you-king-mod
Hell, for $5-10 apiece, I'd surely be in for at least 20.
See, that's the deal. If that was actually stainless, I'd consider it. I find the Chinese consider "stainless steel" a term relating to finish tho, and not composition. I'll bet it's plated brass, or aluminum.
Very good bap, nice find. Thanks.Unfortunately for me being an all American, I don't have metric drill bits or taps
Nice going. It does look great. I will most likely have to cut them down also. What did you use to cut SS?
Thanks for the pointers Bap.Just opened my mail. Received 3.Before I attempt to pop out the pin and insulator, anything I need to know before destroying anything?
As bap said, everything is threaded - the center pin is threaded inside the insulator and the insulator is threaded inside the connector. So simply unscrew to take apart.I just sent a contact to fatdaddyvapes and asked him if a 510 connector was doable similar to these thread repair kits. I also sent him the link you gave bap with the adjustable spring loaded center pin.
I designed that to actually be a fit-all kind of insert. You can thread itusing an M10X1.5mm tap or use the brass ring to tighten it if the surfaceis not thick enough. It can also be grinded from the top or the bottom asneeded.I actually made a floating pin design but the spring that my manufacturerkeep on using looses tension with heat. So we dropped the product. i willtry to redo it and see where it takes us.I will let you know.Thanks for the support.
BapNicely done! Any thoughts of possibly using part of a two piece solid brass grommet? I've seen them in 1/8 inch size. Might save a bit of time.
Fat Daddy said he won't know anything till after the Chinese holidays over. Probably a week or two.
Yup! Thanks Kurtus I forgot to mention that. It'll be interesting to see what the turn around is.
No worries! Again, I'd like to thank Craig for the use of his plans.
