So I've been using this tank with a DNA 200 and yihi 350 j chip as well as a istick tc Out of nowhere today when doing my first stainless steel build, the tank freaked out. Subsequently I went about rebuilding it five times with three temp control materials. It's all over the place. The mods are all working fine with other tanks. I thought perhaps the bottom screw that holds the small screw in piece and the positive post got screwed up but I can't find anything actually wrong wi this. I blew the ring on the bottom part that the chimney slides on to and replaced it. But I can't see anything out of order. Anyone have an idea what may be causing this tank to freak out right now? I've got my builds down pat with no issue in a ton of other tanks and this one is a very easy build. Working...

I bought a new deck base SKU 2234303 to get it working. For mine- I believe the longer deck/base screw was crap and ruined the connection. Working...

It's the part these connects the two and is responsible for carrying resistance properly. The failure to carry temp signal reliably boils down to a bad connection somewhere. I'm surprised it would work for a week and then start bouncing around. I cleaned everything and reseated it but no dice. So the new base cured the issue? Freaking out is a colloquialism Johnny. Language evolves. Thanks for the help. Working...
