Igo-L Thread repair???

[brysoni23]

Hello all
Is it possible to rethread an Igo-L.

The treads on it are pretty much shot it works ok if i hold it in place but its becoming a pain.

I would think so but they would have to match top and bottom to seal right. Or the leaks will be worse.

[brysoni23]

I forgot to add its the thread that connects to the battery

Same answer lol

It's more likely the threads on your mod are shot..

The IGO-L is stainless and it's probably worn the brass threads on your mod...

All other things fit on the Vamo ok. I tried a Boge cart and an AGA T, both fit fine.
Tried the Igo-L on an ego and it hardly screws on and if i tip it upside down it just falls out

[maccafan]

When you say hardly screws on, is it loose in the ego thread or does it not screw on?

[brysoni23]

It screws in all the way down but it wobbles around.
Same on the Vamo it screws in but if i knock it it just tips to one side. I've run my finger around the Igo thread and it feels ok, no bumps or anything.
So no idea what to do.

I've just tried mine on a few mods. I never really noticed till i read this thread, it is quite loose on all of them but does tighten up when fully screwed down. There's not really any way you could rethread it and it would cost more than it's worth to have a new conector fitted.

My threads were always rubbish on the IGO. Super loose, and will not connect with some of my mods.
I've thought about re-dieing my threads, but it hasn't been worth buying a tool for a £10 item.

Looks like it is slightly undersize...You cannot re-thread undersize threads on a male connector.

You can try one round of PTFE tape on the threads and rely on the contact between the base and the connector for your ground. May or may not work and it depends on how good the contact is between the base and the connector. Or you try a thin copper foil on the threads or wind some thin copper wire on the threads. Best thing would be to fit the igo-L to a 510-510 or ego-510 adaptor and trying various methods and leave the igo permanently screwed on once you get it working.

Thats what i was thinking macca. Sliver of tin foil then tighten up on a shorty 510 adapter. I know they're only cheap these igo's but what a cracking little vape.

[brysoni23]

I will give that ago Cheers Macca.

I've got exactly the same problem with my 2 Igo-l's. I've got a V2 LT that they wont even screw onto, every thing else, they do after a fashion, but wobble like yours.

Where did you get yours BTW??

[maccafan]

Or try this..

Get the aluminium foil off a ciggie packet and burn it..The paper backing will burn off leaving you with thin double sided aluminium foil..Use that and try...
