Dave is back from his Easter Break, and no doubt that Tackle Box of his is full to overflowing.. In fact, in it I can see, a Glass Tank, a Galileo, a 306DCA and drip tip, as well as some footage from Turkey…
Dave’s Tackle Box
Posted in: Dave's Tackle Box, Shows
A fine comprehensive review of the 306 DCA Dave, but I think you’ve made it look entirely faff-tastic when the reality is that it far from. I have had three GSV DCAs and they have NOT needed any disassembly.
The most common problems involved with contact with a well used battery is that, more often than not, the pin on the battery has been pushed down by pokey non-regulation atties and adaptors.
This is a problem I have found with all sorts of devices. Rather than mess around with disassembling the DCA a far simpler solution is to ease the pin on the battery back into place. SImply grab any tool that can slide down into the battery twixt cylinder and pin and gently tease it from all sides until it comes back into play. This is advice that you will thank me for, not only for the DCA, but for the Vision eGo Stardust or any other 510 compliant device.
Points that you missed with the DCA: Aside from it being leak-free, you can adjust the airflow, and, quite importantly, you are no longer limited to the tiny range of drip tips afforded to 306 users.
I’m sure you’re right in many cases there Jaded, however, the connection problem I’m my case wasn’t the battery at all, but the brass connector of the DCA being recessed a bit. GSV themselves have a video on YouTube describing the process, so I guess it happens every now and then.
Obviously I’m aware that the attie connectors on some devices get compressed sometimes, but that wasn’t the case here.
I did mention the airflow too!
It was banned when I was there last year Dave,I could not get on except for the front screen and plastered across the screen was a government notice telling me so …..so perhaps they have relaxed there ideas.But that is good news mate..
Hehe. They could resist us only for so long…..
