Threads for 510 on eVic loose, bad, crap?

[Phone Guy]

This is my second eVic, and it seems the 510 connector threads are weak and easily stretch or get damaged.

My kayfun is hanging on by a single turn at this point. I bought an air flow control ring to act as a in between, but that's so ugly. Wrong diameter. What are my options?

Am I the only one who has had problems with the threads of the 510?

No, but by the second one you should have it figured out.

Hold the Kayfun in your hand and feel the weight. Now look at how small that 510 connection is. Unfortunately the Chinese do not make any hardened SS top connections.(510,etc.)

What you need is this:


You thread it inside the eVic top collar to just above its edge. The Tank support needs to be down enough to allow contact, but up enough to stop the tank before it bottoms the threads.
This helps to stop thread stretching and gives full lateral support.
I use these on both my eVics, now 1yr old.

I do not use the 22mm tanks on them tough simply because they don't fit clean. 22mm tank & 19mm Mod.

Are those beauty rings from a kanger tank? What are they?

It's a standard eGo threading cover.

eGo Cone Cover for DCTank

 

[crxess]

Yes, that is it. It will screw onto the ego threading and fits inside the eVic top cone.
Gives much needed support to the 510 threaded devices.
510 made sense when Cartos were all the rage, but these tanks are much larger and WAY heavier.

I'll definitely have to pick one of these up. I have been backing the head cover out a quarter turn or so to secure my kayfun.

You know, this being my second eVic head with issues, I'm not sure that would have prevented anything. I have the squared top cap that is NOT tapered, and I absolutely do not over tighten the atomizer to the head.

The square straight cap offers way more support than the tapered head, I think the threads on the evic are just....well crap!

 

[roffles18963]

Start using Loctite on all your 510 threading then.

 

[Phone Guy]

Ummm ok...
I'm having a Sheldon moment....

Sarcasm? Or you meant like a noalax type lubricant?

Or are you suggesting I glue the atomizer to the threads?

 

[roffles18963]

Loctite manufactures a thread repair ointment as well as glues. It's not the same as Noalax.

My threads are still fine after almost 8 months of having my evic, and I switch tanks pretty much every two or three hours (RBAs to RDAs to evods/Protank II minis and full sized Protank IIs).

 

[ImThatGuy]

My evic is going a little over a year and the threads are fine.

 

[rasmith1959]

My threads are fine after using mine for the past 8 months that I've had it. The thing to remember is only tighten your clearomizer til you feel it touching the center pin. No need to tighten it all the way down as it could lead to stripped threads and other problems.

I was worried about the threads on my eVic after reading several threads in the forums about them wearing out. So I bought a 510 to Ego adaptor with well from Madvapes.

I think it looks good and matches my device.

Have had my eVic for about 2 months and no problems (I make sure to be gentle with my screwing), but I will have to pick one of these up soon just to prolong the life for sure.

Greetings, all!

Just so I understand, with the cone cover installed, will the stock top ring still fit on, and how much does it change the aesthetic with a tank attached?

I have a Fogger V2, and from what I've read here, I'm a little leery of using it on the eVic...

Thanks!

I use the bottom ring that came with my Unitank. Thread the ring all the way down then screw on the Igo until it contacts. Then back off the Igo 1/4 turn and screw the ring up to contact the Igo. Now while holding the ring screw the Igo down tight. Nice and secure.
