K100 510 connector stripped!

[stu1873]

I have been using my Empire K101 quite alot for when i am out and about but the 510 connector has been struggling to allow me to screw in any of my Protanks in recent weeks. It was still allowing me to fit any of my 510 stainless steel atty's until today when my choddy seems to have stripped out the threads all together.

Is there anyway that i can sort it or will i have to buy another one?

You want a bottom tap. That's not a come-on

I believe this is one of the right size (can someone confirm?):

[edit:

Hmm, actually, the thread cutters don't seem deep enough compared to the Amazon.com one that usually gets linked:

[edit again: actually, forget it, that's not a bottoming one]

I've not yet lost a device worth enough to invest
