510 to Ego adapter on Vamo loose?

[cocacola31173]

I have been using one of these on my vamo so I could use my Evods and T3's on it. Recently though I noticed it doesn't seem to screw in right. Whatever I put on it seems to wobble and I can't seem to get it on straight. My tanks still fit fine on it without the adapter. I have had it for a while. Do you think that its just wore out and I need to get a new one?

Thanks!

Well.. if I was designing an adapter, I'd make sure to use as metal that is softer and less durable that the devices you connect it to. The threads probably just wore out.

Yeah, that's what was happening right before I crossthreaded my v2. The threads are very very soft unfortunately.

So far I've noticed that my Ego tanks thread on more securely--probably because there is a lot less leverage on the threads. To be honest, I'd probably just carefully attach your Ego-threaded tanks directly to vamo and conserve those 510 threads.

As an aside, that is why I think that 510 will slowly become obsolete. Ego threading just seems more stable, both on the battery/device and whatever you connect. I mean, how many people cracked their Protank at its base?

Me! After I crossthreaded my vamo the base stem on my protank broke off and is now stuck in the 510 threading of my vamo.

510 makes lots of sense if you are doing cig-a-likes with standard cartos but EGO threading is more sensible for mods + tanks.

I put an air flow controller on my Vamo to ward off thread wear. An added bonus is that it actually works and tightens up the airy draw on a Protank.
