I brought a new C6 Host. Just arrived today. I'm having trouble fitting the driver into the driver pill.

1.) What do I put in first, the copper ring or the driver. If it's the copper ring read number2.
2.) I put the copper ring in first and trying to put the driver in but it will NOT go in. What do I do?

You solder the driver to the brass ring and then press it into the pill.

^^ I know you can get the pill and ring at survival, I'm not sure about just the ring itself. Wouldn't hurt to ask

No one's buying/selling anything on your thread. Your question was answered, so what do you still need help with?
Don't double post either, you know that by now..

I wish.....
I've been having to sell off whole c6 hosts because i ruin a stupid brass ring.
Attempts to source the aluminum pill or copper rings from my current host provider has failed.
The pill would probably be worth it to have cnc machined from scratch and probably be <$1ea, but i bet the rings would cost more than they're worth to have made.

I've just issued a refund for the order. I really don't know what's wrong with your build.

Some suggestions..
Test your batteries
Test your driver before installing it to see if it operates (on a test load)
Test your diode before installing everything after you confirm the driver works properly.
Install the driver and then test again to see if it's still operating inside the host.
Install the diode.
