510 nico trouble Please Help

[Löki]

I got a 510 nico mod and it works very well but I burnt out the atty I was running with it, Switched to a back up atty and it no longer works. After looking the mod over many times it would seem that he center part of the atty does not make contack with the center part of the mod's conector. I have tryed building up the mod's center contact with solder but I'm rather shaky with small job's like this. So i'm looking for idea's as to how to get the new atty to make the proper contact. I went out and got 2 more attys and it's the same deal the center contact of the atty just does not stick up enuf to contact the battery conector of the mod.

Please help Any advice would make my day. Pic's of idea's would help alot im sure..

Thanx

Does the original burned out atty still make contact? If it does you probably have two different brands of attys. If so it would probably be easiest to switch brands.

How are you checking for contact?

After pulling my hair out for awhile I was told that the old 510 nelf connector's are known for this problem and to just build up some solder on the center contact and It would be good to go, But you see the mod was made for me and I lack the motor skills needed to do this job with out destroying the mod all together. Also I can see that the maker of the mod had tryed to build some solder up on the contact but maybe it worn it self down or maybe I knocked some of the solder off putting attys on.... ( ? ) ......


The attys are all Joye, It's just the first one I was useing the center contact sticks up alittle more.

It may be easier to just put a drop of solder on the center of the atty, rather than try to drop it into the connector on the mod. I understand not being able to do it yourself-maybe if you could find someone else to do it that'd be easiest. I've done it a few times on mods also, you can then take a file and file it down a bit so it flattens out. The main thing here is to be sure you get no solder touching the outer edge, regardless of which way you go. I suggest the atty just due to the fact you may get the connector too hat and melt the silicone insulator wring, in which case you'll be in trouble. One thing to also remember if you do this, only screw the atty on til it works, if you overtighten it it may make matters worse. Hop[e this helps

O.O

Yes that works great ! Thanx you guy's rule.

Did it actually work? I didn't suggest the staple because of the design of the 510 connector. Your more likely to get a short than a vape.

Now I know I've been here too long, that's what I would have done. Funny the stuff you pick up on when you're surfing the forum.

Yes it works I'm using it right now. I did not use a staple, I used a very small lead from a tiny broken LED. But it's working well and I will for sure keep a close eye on it.

I read someplace about conductive glue maybe I could find some and use it so it never move's.....?.....

I wouldn't recommend gluing the atty to the battery connector. The atty will eventually fail, then you have to break the glue apart to get it off. Unless you are talking about gluing the spacer to the connector.. that I would also not recommend. What would happen if your next batch of attys actually don't need the spacer?

Just be sure to trim the edges enough that it won't short anything out, tighten the atty down onto it, and leave it be.

You could glue it to the atty. Easier and goes away when the atty does. A drop on each side and you don't have to have conductive glue. However any glue you put in there has to withstand heat without emiting fumes.
