Don't want to take my coils apart to confirm but I believe the 510 screw at the bottom tightens that specific post.
Edit: Unscrewed the bottom 510 pin a little and immediately noticed a wobble on the post. Screwed it back and all good. No additional screws other than the bottom 510 pin.
How are you liking the Stempod Si @David Root?Got an email, "shipped Feb 26". Arrives Saturday with a little luck.

What's wrong with the Sí?Is the Stempod OG discontinued or will it return/restock? I really want to buy one, but I also want nothing but glass or SS/Ti in the vapor-path. So for mi the Stempod Si is 100% a no go.
I think their objection is to the silicone airpath in the Si.What's wrong with the Sí?
Been wondering the same tbh, luckily already have one but know other people that want an OG too.Is the Stempod OG discontinued or will it return/restock? I really want to buy one, but I also want nothing but glass or SS/Ti in the vapor-path. So for mi the Stempod Si is 100% a no go.
Forgot what the screen setup is like. Is it like a dome basket screen that wedges in the tip of the stem?Anyone around. Just bought a used stempod si but screen keep popping out of short stem. How do I fix that?
Yes this one right here. I included the pic. Am I putting it in the right way? Which part are you saying to pinch? The extra screens he included are all flat unlike the one in the picForgot what the screen setup is like. Is it like a dome basket screen that wedges in the tip of the stem?
If so, just pinch it by the bottom corners of the screen and pull outwards or roll ur fingers outwards. Just form the basket to have some extended corners, or just get something pokey (not too sharp), and just push against the walls of the screen outwards. This will make it thicker so it stays in.
This guy I bought it from gave me a screen that is so bent out of shape. The long dimpled stem he sent has a screen with it as well and fit with no issues. I took that screen out and put it in the short blue stem and that screen pops out as well. I assume the holes or different size or something. I wish this guy told me this. I posted a pic of both stems@Reez79
Ah ok!
Those screens are slightly different from the ones I use, but same concept.
I'm referring to the base of the screen. So the right side of the screen in the picture presented, closest to the blue stem. The part that goes into the stem first. (you are putting it in correctly)
Try pinching a corner of the base and the wall, where those meet.
Basically, you're just trying to expand the base a little bit so it's wider and sits in better. So you'll do it to one edge and slightly deform it just a tad so it stick out a little further, and then do it to another side.
That way, the base should then be wide enough to slip thru that initial gap in the stem and then get caught so it doesn't fall out.
If that doesn't work, you can get something like a small tool, go inside the screen, and press against the screen inner side walls outwards. This will make the screen itself wider at the walls, and will help it to sit in the stem.
Edit to add screenshot:
So you can either pinch along the blue line and try to pull that out.
Or find something to press along the red lines (the walls of the screen), but from the inside of the screen outwards.
If they are the same size then why does the screen that came with the dimpled stem pop out of the blue stem as well? This screen has a rim and won’t stay either. Here’s the video of it here@Reez79 , I'm fairly certain both those stems are the same joint size. Can you maybe post the same picture, but without the screen in left one?
They're both "18mm male ends" from the looks of it, but the inner diameter can vary stem to stem.If they are the same size then why does the screen that came with the dimpled stem pop out of the blue stem as well?
