Aerotanks Problems undoing

[phtumshk]

If you dont have a vice try putting the ego adapter in a drill chuck.
Youll get better leverage on the drill chuck than with pliers.

Na the mini needs the 510/ego adapter. Which isn't a bad thing as it protects the threads on the stick.

Bought a mini last week and it is 510

letsavit your talking about the aerotank mini aren't you, I thought you meant the istick mini, sometimes it's best to give me a minute to catch up lol.

Ha ha. Yea mate im talking aerotanks as the title of this thread.....but reading back I can see why the confusion happened



anyway i stick normal and mini both the same 510 but think you know that now mate...

Yeah none of these are mini's they are aerotank v2 and aerotank mega

I've managed to get a replacement bottom for the v2 but the mega is stuck solid and its been like since I filled it up for the 1st time so Can't do nowt with it

I think the main problem has been the istick adapter so will probably need to change the thread title, still not happy with how easy the aerotanks stuck together solid though

I think that would be good if you did Greeny1210. . . because they're not.

I wouldn't mind betting that a fair percentage of issues Vendors have is where something has been overtightened - I try and drum into any ' converts ' I've made not to do it. My vaping friend can't cope with filling an Evod, I do it . . . so happily there's not an issue with them.

If you have a normal sized areotank and mega then you don't need the adapter? I assummed as you was using the adaptor you had an aerotank mini....confusing myself now.....

can you post a picture of everything?

Yeah It seems I didn't need the adapter but nothing comes with instructions, I just presumed you needed it for some reason

Pics below, the silver one is working kind of but keeps playing up, the aerotank2 which is on it seems fine now
both isticks still have the adapter stuck solid and the blue one wont work at all
the other tank - aero mega will not come apart where it should at all to fill up, only the top half but you can't fill it up properly

Hope you sort your issue with your istick greeny 1210 .I see your from Sheffield. If you are an owl you may have more issues on March 21st lol

[Ripshod]

I had an aerotank mega stick on me just once. Ended up using a rubber glove (marigold - pink) on the top section with a small allen key in the air hole for leverage. Never over tightened it again I tell you.

[Greeny1210]

All Wednesday aren't we!!!

Better not 21st of March is my Birthday lol should be okay as we are not at home thankfully

[cjam52]

Can't wish you luck pal being a Miller. .lived in sheff for 10 years and still traumatised with all the grief I took pal

[letsavit]

Greeny1210 Right I can see what you have and are talking about now......

You don't need the adapters so just get some bloody great big grips and take them off, as I said before do it square to the threads as not to cross thread or take out your i sticks female thread......You can then get to the postive pin if required (brass thing on the istick in the middle off the 510 connector) you can then raise it with a small flat head screwdriver to get a positive connection. You might not need to do the latter with the Aerotanks straight onto the i sticks, depends if the adapter has pushed it down and has a deeper 510, the male thread.

The mega, put a small screwdriver in the air hole and turn anti clockwise until it locks, this will give you the leverage to take the base off without any damage. Wrap an elastic band around the main tank section to get some grip if you have to.

If your silvers sort of working then sort the mega and blue first, don't take yourself totally down.

Good luck.
