So... I broke it.

[ChillerVapes]

My VTR has been playing up for ages, it would missfire due to the silly rotating 510 connector.

I decided that I would attempt to clean the contacts by popping the spinning disc off so I could get underneath.
I got it off, only to realise that it was fixed to the 510 connection and will never go back on.

So, because I have tempted fate for so long by only going with my VTR, my one and only backup is my 650mah ego c.

I just got some new batteries for it on Monday too!

so, has anyone got any old mod sitting lonely unloved and long forgotten about they are willing to part with?

I can't spend too much but I do really need "something" until I can either do something with my VTR or can afford a new mod.

Here's a lovely pic of my knackered VTR lol.

same thing happened to me!
I have an embarrassment of mods at the mo, fancy a year old SVD for the cost of the postage?

Why the hell does nobody offer me stuff like this hahaha very generous of you though @paulymeqtballs once again you've restored my faith in humanity and I won't kick anymore kittens for at least a week

[ChillerVapes]

Where do you live? Tease-smiley

And you don't tag people properly - double  Tease-smiley

But, on the upside, its not an SVD, but I could offer you a year old cheese sandwich for the cost of postage!

Oh yeah, and you kick kittens.

Never mind though - will you not have some shiny new batteries and grommets soon?

Where do you live? Sunderland like it says under my name. You know the place what seems to keep beating you lot so  Tease-smiley


And you don't tag people properly - that might have something to do with having a small drink after work  so the spellings outta the windowTease-smiley Tease-smiley

But, on the upside, its not an SVD, but I could offer you a year old cheese sandwich for the cost of postage! That's too posh for round here the neighbours will be thinking I'm putting on airs n graces

Oh yeah, and you kick kittens. yup but not really hard

Never mind though - will you not have some shiny new batteries and grommets soon? Yip also tried smashin one of the laptop batteries at work to see what's in them and they're crappy Sanyo ones so that's him wondering what's happened to his laptop when he gets back from training tomorrow hahaha

it's snapped clean off, I think it was welded to the 510 connector.


In that picture, the atty is sunk in, if you try and screw it down, it simply spins as you spin the atty.

edit to make more sense (The hole you screw the atty down into spins when you try and screw the atty down)

Not be the most elegant solution but if you jb weld one of these into it 
it might keep it going a bit longer. Does it still fire the atty or is it kaput altogether? Shame as they're lovely mods just seem to have lots of problems with the threads stripping.
Edit: just noticed your edit, if it's not th threads wore out you might be able to just add a drop of jb weld onto the outer casing to stop it spinning as it's stupidly strong stuff. Thought it was the threads knackered when you said it was just sitting in it. Whoops. Be a shame to chuck it.
