510 Threads knackered

[GeRs]

Hi,

I have gone and messed threads on my 510 connector leaving me with just the ego type connector. I can still use the 510 if I hold my Atty in but it ain't too practical juggling my battery and Atty cos I need to use both hands.

Is there a fix or does anyone know where I could get an ego to 510 adapter? (If such a thing exists) I can only find 510 to ego adapters.

Thanks

Hi GeRs - you should be able to find something here which will sort you out www.stealthvape.co.uk/electronic-cigarette-box-mods/e-cigarette-accessories
Having said that, maybe it's the time to consider upgrading your battery - the problem's only going to get worse with time and more wear . . . ?

Thanks chykensa will check it out.

I have a vision spinner 2 getting delivered any day now. I was just wondering if there was anyway I could salvage this ego as an emergency backup cos its not to old.

Evods, old-fashioned CE5s and Mini Protanks will all fit your eGo (outer) threads, so you can still use it, although it's a PITA!! There are certainly other alternatives on Fasttech et al. which will fit too, so you just have to avoid 510 atties from now on!

chykensa the only ego-ego/510 adapter I found worldwide is this one :-

Hi GeRs , you could try one of these:

ego fitting for your battery

Thanks Di will try out one of those ninja things as an emergency backup.

GunJack Saw that ego-ego/510 adapter as well but as you say out of stock. :-(

My spinner 2 arrived when I got back in anyhow so happy days for now. :-)

GeRs and anyone else interested....reply from Rob @ stealth vape when I enquired....

We'll be getting these at some point, likely in a month or so. Our supplier didn't have them last time and we really want some as they're a good fix for vamos etc with stripped threads.

Cheers

Rob

Cheers GunJack .

Thinking these might be good even if thread is OK to protect the built in 510 threads, or maybe I'm just being paranoid.

Still not sure how I damaged them, I clean threads daily and never over tighten atty's !!!

GeRs, sometimes these things happen, especially if the 510 on battery is soft metal, and either batt/atty thread is slightly off-pitch. I started looking after 2x ego twists both stripped 510s

My Spinner, which is about 11 months old, is beginning to get very loose threads. I generally use Protanks on them with a beauty ring, but am now considering getting a couple of Evods so that I can only use the outer threads which still seem to be OK. Shame, as it's a great battery and really handy to slip in a pocket when I''m gardening and a Mech Mod would be overkill!

exactly what I do, but charging them is a bugger

Just recently picked up a Kanger charger from zeldamum and it fortunately screws on nice and securely - don't know how much longer this will continue though
