NV mini pro broken

[sleedale]

:'(When I recoil and wick it won't screw back together again. It seems that the first few threads on the bottom bit (where the fill holes are) are stripped, although lower down they work, but I can't get it to fasten together properly and this morning it popped apart and ruined me tank full of raspberry lemonade 

I have looked on the NV site but can't see any spare bits......is it worth contacting them, or should I just save it for spare parts (although for what I've no idea)

shame cos I like the tank

sleedale you haven't had much luck lately! Can't hurt to contact the vendor, at the worst youv'e wasted time on an email or phone call, at the best you could get a result.

The crunchy threads on the NatureVape Mini Pro & the Fastech RG200 are my only problem with them.

Angie has just replaced all her T3s tanks with the RG200. I put Contralube on all the threads before first use and repeat each time they are washed.

If you have to replace the whole thing, the NV mini is actually a re-coiled mini HyperTank - II and you can get those a bit cheaper than buying another NV one. I got a couple a while ago to use the NV coils in and the cheapest I found them was here:

On Fasttech as well for around £4.20 each, swap the coil over.

Thanks for those, prr think I will try NV, dave thanks for the link and smifee if I get another one, I'll try to remember your tip.
Atm just trying to avoid vaping burned cw on the iStick

Like the sound of the raspberry lemonade not to sweet is it , time for a change after being on red bull for over a yr.

I really like the NV tanks and been using 2 of them faultlessly for about 7 months (although I do get a little crucnchy thread thing going on now). I saw the RG200's on FT and they looked exactly the same so I ordered one about 2 and half weeks ago to see. In the meantime one of my NV's has broken - the thread end of the centre post/tube/air sucky bit (sorry, don't know the technical term!) that screws into the bottom bit where you fill through, has somehow bent a tiny bit and now it leaks everywhere

So, question to smifee and DiscoDes - are the RG200's exactly the same tank NV use for theirs? If so I'm tempted to order some more now (so I'll hopefully get them before December!!) Was originally waiting on my RG200 to arrive so I could compare before ordering any more, but wasn't expecting my NV to break before I had a chance to see

spacey I had a couple of NV tanks. I ordered one from FT to see what they were like.

I couldn't see any difference and there was no difference in use.

So Angie ordered 10 from FT and has replaced her other tanks with them.

Contralube has solved the crunchy threads. I get it from Maplin and use it on ALL threads. It doesn't contain any abrasive so doesn't wear any of the threads.

Fantastic - cheers smifee

Will just go ahead and order some more, and also some contralube.

spacey to be honest I don't have one, but I have read a in few places that they are the same. I have a one on the slow boat from FT at the moment.

If you don't have any Contralube recommended above just put a TINY smear of vaseline on the threads.

Thanks DiscoDes

Am happy recoiling my NV heads, so being able to pick up the exact same tank so much cheaper makes the wait worthwhile!!

As far as i'm aware the rg200's are identical to naturevapes, I have two fasttech versions as I love their shape on my istick, its a match made in heaven granted they haven't got beautifully machined threads but most tanks are similar.

Hope you can get sorted but I would recommend having a couple of spare tanks as they are only £4 on fastech, then you wont have to worry in future - you'l have backups

[sleedale]

For the money I will order a couple of them from fasttech, I too love them on the iStick Pepperty, shame they don't do them in lovely coloured glass tanks

[X&Y]

I have the NV mini, the mini hypertank and several RG200s.

They are all identical

Don't expect to use the coils that come with the RG200s though, firstly they are rubbish and secondly the last set I got wouldn't even screw into the base.
