anyone else had/had this problem before

Well I've had my vaporizer for about 2 months now but now the threading on the tank has gone weird like it take me about 5-10 mins to screw the tank on after every refill. Is this anyway to prevent this on my new tank?

Do not over tighten the tank onto the battery.

A mod with stainless steel 510 threads and a spring loaded positive pin and an atty with stainless steel 510 threads. Fixed pins and brass sucks. Manufacturers are getting better with the connectors they use, but there's still way too many that still use junk mod/atty connections. Keeping everything clean and not over tightening will help, but in the end FIXED PINS AND BRASS SUCKS!!!

Yeah, had an aluminum mod. It was 901 threaded. Steel attys screwed onto aluminum threads was dangerous. It would strip easily.

Brass and copper are also popular metals they use, and are also soft, easily-stripped metals.

Stainless steel is the way to go for durability.

tl;dr : yeah, it happens. Be careful, don't overtighten, and try not to drop your mod.

Also, if it seems to be grating while screwing in, try cleaning the threads with a Q-tip moistened with alcohol. Then make sure they are thourally dry. See if that helps.

Oh man, there`s a "other stuff" joke in there somewhere.

I will resist, I will resist.
