I'm a little nervous...

I'm not usually one to purchase hardware without trying it out first, but I've been wanting a mod that's a little more sturdy than my Twists and since the Silver Bullet has glowing reviews from just about everywhere I've looked I just pulled the trigger on it. If it works out for me, the extension and a Kick are soon to follow.

One question: how sensitive is the center post in the 510 connector? I damn near destroyed one of my Twists with a Vivi Nova (thanks to my ignorance and its less than hardy center post). But while I've learned my lesson and have since become much more careful about how tightly I screw in my tanks, I was wondering how careful I'll have to be with my new toy.

Most all 510 connections have a insulator around the center post. Some a a cheap rubber and some are a more sturdy silicone. I believe the SB has a silicone insulator and will be more robust than the twist.

Buy with confidence. The SB is a tried and true AVP that will last you years!

If you really have large concerns you could pick up a 510-510 adapter that you can leave on the SB. That way you would wear out the adapter and not the connector.

I've read good things about the Silver Bullet. I haven't read about any problems with the Connector.

It would be hard for me to buy a Non-VVPV but if I did, the SB would be a consideration.

I had alot of connector problems with my roughstacks.

The silver bullet's connector is way,way better than a stock mass produced connector.

I have 6 Silver Bullets. A couple of them I run with a kick for higher voltage. I keep carto tanks on 5 of them and a dripping atomizer on 1. Never any problems with the connector, these are very robust units. If your intention is to run a clearo type tank on them do use an adapter to prevent the skirt of said tanks from damaging the top of the SB itself.

Do be sure to use Noalox on the body threads (not the connector threads) and clean it off and reapply maybe once a month, depending on how many battery changes you have to make in that time.

Thanks for the replies. I felt a little stupid for even asking though after I actually held the SB in my hands. This sucker would probably survive nuclear war... It packs a hell of a punch too for a simple fixed voltage mod. I'm really happy with it so far.

I've had my SB for maybe 2 weeks shy of a year now with no problems. After using a vivi nova on it nothing else would work on it, seems those shove that center pin down. I just popped it back up with a paperclip and it's all fine again.
