replacement 510

[flavourtank]

whats the best 510 connector to get?

i want to replace my cloupor mini one. ive seen gold plated, silver but what is best that will fit the best?

also can you get replacement fire button for them?

Without knowing how much wiggle room there is inside its hard to tell.
The smallest will be the shorty fdv I think.
Regarding fire button never seen the mini in person so no idea sorry.

Not sure you will find it that easy to change the 510 with the current pcb in there as its almost the full length of the box leaving no room.
As for changing the fire button its a direct action one that just presses the button on the board underneath so that would be a bit of a challenge too.

as you prob know the original 510 has 2 wires attached and was thinking of cutting them to get the 510 out and then resoldering onto new 510, or would it be better to strip it all down remove board so have room to fit new 510 then replace all wires with new wires?

Definitely as you will have to drill the old one out its been put in there really well.
Im in the middle of converting one to a dna40 so i had to get the old one out today in order to fit one of these link
If you try and drill it with the board in place there's a good chance of hit the end, then thats game over.

@windows would this be ok for 510 www.modmaker.co.uk/Fat-Daddy-Vapes/Fat-Daddy-Vapes-510-V3-Short-Body

so in pic below as you remove old 510 it will leave a hole does that need to be made bigger to fit new 510?

Two ways of doing it. Drill it out with a 9mm drill then use a m10 tap with a 1mm pitch and screw it straight in with some loctight or drill it out to 10mm and use the supplied lock nut. You prob wont be able to use the supplied earth tab as its tight for space but you can solder direct to the 510 itself.

Yes positive wire to the center pin, negative to the side.
If you want to send me a stamped addressed envelope I'll post you some. Otherwise you'll end up buying more than you want.

A little tip that caught me out on the fdv 510 was not using enough flux before soldering, just over do it with the flux before soldering the wires to the 510.
I know this link is for the sigelei 100w but it's very informative
