Not such good luck with the second Xeta. First build try, and the post is cracked

I don't see any saving it?

That’s the weak point with the authentic ones also...

Just snug and done...

Sorry

i don't know exactly what i am looking at. but perhaps it could be silver soldered. but then idk if solder would be ok to have in there.

Spare parts now, that sucks. Haku has made a stronger post and is in the process of sending them out as they hose their customers down for shipping. Like Don said, snug and done.

I don't think you could, just not enough there. Spare parts and another order it is.

Oh man, that's an enormous bummer :( That's right. I read a couple guys saying that tightening too much can cause that :( I don't see any saving it either. :(

Yeah, I used to have this mental thing where I thought that unless my post screws were SUPER tight, the resistance would be wrong. Too loose may cause that, but now I just snug them up, adjust the coils into place and double check if they need a little more since the adjustment.

you were probably mistaking me for someone important , lol.
I've been jumping on and offline a lot lately so I must have just misunderstood something in my hurry. :)
yeah, that sounds cool :cloud:
I love titanium. I use it a lot in my other stuff and once you get it set up right it works great in the BB.

One time with the black one and the Exocet it started hitting weaker and weaker and I couldn't figure it out for a little while. I even plugged it into my PC to see if something had changed, but it hadn't. Right in front of my eyes was the practically empty boro and dry white cotton. :wait: I filled it back up and it hit great again. Replay does that too.

I dated this Cambodian gal back in High School, beautiful... head strong, driven... she told me of this story about when they first came to the US...

They got their car, was driving around and it died on them. For the life in them they couldn't figure it out.

She told me it ran out of gas LOL


Anyhoo lol

I am admittedly a notorious overtightener...

IDK if it will work, but maybe try putting your lead in on the other side of the screw until you get a new one?

that looks sweet, can't wait to get mine. but i am waiting, lol. a ultem boro would top that off.

wish i could take pics that good. idk if my phone, J3 Luna, is a pos. or its just the shuttle button, i have to hit it kinda hard to fire, and that jostles the phone.

CHEAP

The same as the red except for color. A pain royale to get fully seated the first time.

I've been with Sprint almost 14 years. With all their loyalty discounts I can just afford a Galaxy S series phone. S10 in this case. Excellent camera. Also, it's actually useful to me for work. All that power and reliability isn't just so I can say I have a good phone.

Question: I was messing with my jacked Xeta some more, and broke the post all the way off. I realized the post holes on it, nor my other one, are not threaded at all. So when you tighten the scew, the only threading is in the bottom piece that comes up to trap the lead. Asking because I don't want to order a couple more from 3F if this is not right? If it is, so be it, and I will try to be gentle with the nexted ones. Seems to me they should both be threaded though.
