Atlantis tank seems to be screwing on wobbly???

[Nivek13]

Yesterday i was screwing my Atlantis onto my istick and i noticed it was screwing in a bit wobbly, almost like the pin on the bottom that screws into the mod is bent a little bit...It still screws on all the way and fires fine, but im a bit concerned if that pin is bent. I did drop it the other day but i find it hard to believe that such a short stubby pin could get bent just from dropping it a few feet..... Has anyone else had this problem??

Yeah, it could be either the 510 connector pin on your Atlantis, or the 510 connector on your iStick, got bent from the fall. Do you have another tank to see if it connects without wobbling?

I'm not aware of anything that you can do to remedy your issue. If you were using an American-made product instead of an iStick, you probably could have returned it to repair the 510 connector. Most Chinese manufacturers don't repair their products.

Have to figure out whether it's the tank or the battery that's bent. Could even be that the bend is happening where the tank base attaches to the rest of the tank. Maybe if you take the tank apart and put it back together it would sort itself out. Try putting just the base on the battery and see how that looks.

If it's the tank base that's bent you can get a new base for $11. I googled it, think it was Vape Mall where I saw it. Cheaper than a new tank anyway.

When i screw my nautilus mini onto my mod it goes on fine, so it definitly has to be the Atlantis tank base.... it has such a short pin on the bottom i cant believe it could bend.... Like i said though at the moment it still screws on all the way and fires no problem, do you think this can cause any issues??? If it comes down to i need to replace the tank base i would probably rather just save up the extra 20$ and get the Atlantis V2 or Atlantis Mega.... unless you guys think theres a better sub ohm tank on the market..?

If it was mine you stole you're welcome. I stole it from someone else when I joined here.

So you're just 3 days into not smoking. How's it going? I remember being there. The only way I made it at that stage was replacing cigs with all out obsession over vaping. I spent the first few days permanently logged onto ECF and switching tanks and flavors constantly. And planning all the other stuff I was going to buy. The rest of my life went on hold for a while.

I also kept a diary on the computer recording everything I did and wrote up detailed plans for what I was going to do. Like designing wooden stands for mods and wall racks for juice. I made those things eventually.

If your sure it's the tank pin grab a pair of pliers and gently bend it back. Grab it too hard and you could mangle the threads but if you're already looking to replace the base sounds like you got nothing to loose.
