Can one of you handy lot tell me if the centre bit of a 510 connection is a universal size. The brass/copper bit on the bottom of an atty. Normally blank or has a screwdriver groove across it

[markm]

Yes I can, sadly the answer is no it's not standardised.

Thank you mark! Back to the drawing board

S,

What are you trying to BF? Hmmmm?

Cheers

ETA:
I'm waiting on one of THESE
His English is not very good looking but the price and features of the atty are very attractive.

To be honest, I'll most likely end up with two or more. ( I tend to buy in pairs, One for play and one for use.)

Nah, I don't have the capabilities of making something like that. I got a zenith atty which needs centre pin drilling to fit the firebox. Got the hollow post but nothing to secure it to at bottom which allows juice up. I'm trying to figure the problem out. Hollow screws with flat heads would do it but can't get them for love nor money.

Try some Ikea Furniture Fastenings, that come in the Bed + shelf kits??

If you have a Metal Working type place near you then someone there would probably be up for drilling out your pin? Worth an ask!

[Deleted]

Too big lol. The ones I need are tiny weeny ones. Thinking of getting a vice and fine drill set and going mental on what I have !
Wish squonking stuff was more readily available!

If anyone wants to make me one, please, I beg you, feel free!

Mailed him direct. Fingers, eyes, toes crossed. I mentioned you izan. Hope that was ok

[geordie_vaper]

if you unscrew the 510 and take the pin out does it not work? when i purchased it that was all i got with it i never tried it on a squonker as i only had reo grands

[Deleted]

Hi geordie_vaper it needs a bf pin kit for it to work on my device. I've seen them for £30 plus shipping
I'm not getting rid of it cos I'm using it as a top fed dripper until I can either get a pin cheaper or a hollow screw. I think the reos use a tube connector? The firebox is a needle connector, hence needing the hollow screw. I have the centre post but nothing to hold it in with

I took centre post out of the zenith and it does work as a squonker but doesn't feed excess juice back into bottle and leaks to the side of the nozzle.
