best cheap 510 connectors?

[jamess71]

I want to start making some mods and need to get some battery connectors. I'm out of work and pretty much broke so money is tight. I don't want junk though either.

As of now the only 2 suppliers I know of are MV and GP. Are the GP $.99 decent? I'm also thinking about selling some mods to support my new hobby and want parts that will not fail. Thanks so much for any help.

I've used the bare brass 510 connector from MV, and a few other options.

An 801 to 510 adapter. Much more 'meat' than a 510 connector.

A 510 connector pressed into a cutoff section of carto or battery tube.

and A bare eGo connector. Makes a mod that is eGo compatible.

Good luck.

Hmmm ego connector, best of both worlds? is that 801 - 510 adapter the one from GP? THanks Rocketman. I'm going to order some tonight. Now I'm off to dollar store and Rat shack to scope out some parts.

I have ordered the 801/510 from GP, and Heaven-gifts (2 weeks shipping) and ordered from Digikey and allelectronics for odd and end parts (USPS First class for a couple of bucks).
