Brass 510 connector scratching-please help

[FundamentalForce]

Does anyone else get minor scratches or abrasions on their mods' 510 pins from attaching tanks? I just got my ProVari 3 and, like the rest of them, it has a scratched ring around the 510. I guess I should expect this being as steel is harder than brass, I'm just a perfectionist I guess. I also wonder if the kayfun is worse than other tanks by virtue of its screw. Don't want to give up rebuilding though, I'm also on the wait list for a Squape. Thanks for any help.!

Sounds like maybe what you are screwing onto your P3 might have a Burr or Sharp Edge on it.

Before I attach anything New to any of my APV's, I like to run my finger around the Battery Connector. Once in awhile it will have a Sharp Edge on it. So I give it a Couple of Light passes with some 400 Sandpaper to Ease the Edges.

Can I see a picture of what you are talking about?

I have Provaris that there connector pines seem to be maybe a little scratched.

Off and congrats on the P3 must of paid a arm and a leg for it.

I can send a pic in a sec, and yeah it was flipping expensive . Why I'm so OCD. Lol

don't know if that pic worked

I think that is normal if you are talking about the faint circle scratch?? It looks almost machine milled to me.

I have heard some people have had to file down the connector on some fake Kayfuns because of this issue, but not with actual Kayfuns. They all scratch eventually, though...
