Morning.

Lovely bit of kit.
But....

Atty gap. Bit annoying and it can get to potentially damaging the connection.

Can I use 24mm washers or shims to keep things somewhat shipshape?
If so, which is a better choice? Steel, nylon or Neoprene. i can imaging the neoprene would just sook up any leakages and the steel might transfer any current in certain situations, but is nylon any use or has it too low a melting point?

cheers.

What you want is a packet of clear atty swirl gaskets from www.stealthvape.co.uk.
They also do a redacted washer which is dearer but will fill a gap of 1.15mm

Use an atty or dripper that fits :grin2:
 
You can use a spacer as mentioned , my NC2 takes ALL my atty's without any gaps.
Maybe you have a piece of junk in or under the mods 510 ( spring loaded ) stopping the atty from seating all the way down flush .
grab ahold of a small screwdriver and push down on the mods 510 pin a few times and see if you can get it to push down a tad further.
If that don't work I suggest what Miss Pepper said cos its prolly your atty's 510 being too long, hey if it's adjustable scew it in some more ,,,if you can.
Any way I'm out...
