VAMO 510 connector threads

[Promethian]

I posted about dud threads on my Vamo last week and was pointed to stealthvape for replacement top caps, which were out of stock at the time.

Happy to say they are now back in stock so I ordered mine, and they still in stock if anyone else wants some.

Do these require any soldering? the threads are destoyed on mine and this would be perfect if it doesnt!

Unfortunately yes it does, but its dead easy to do.

The 510 connector is what lets down the Vamo, almost useless.. I've made solid top caps for a couple of mine which are much better, only problem though if I drop it i'll probably break the atty first now lol

Thanks for the vid, unfortunately if anything requires soldering it is beyond me, I have never soldered anything in my life, and have no tools or means to borrow any tools to do so

me ether but aldi are doing a soldering iron for £6 ish wife is getting me one tomorrow and just need a bit of practise with it can't be that hard as brother in law says that it is just like melting soft lead. You just have to make sure you take all the old solder of the wires with the iron and that u have a clean erea to sold to I have to do one for oh as the threads have all gone on that

[Mev]

It's very simple soldering as you're only soldering the cables back to the new topcap. There's a tiny brass screw in the underside of the cap to which you solder the negative cable and the positive to the center pin. Don't mess about too much trying to clean up the wires of old solder, they're only fine wires so you don't want to be heating them too long and they will be fine.
If I can set up to take a little video I will of soldering the top caps.
