Hello all I’m new here, but I occasionally do read post for help . Anyway I tired to pull the center pin on my morph 2 230w and I accidentally ripped the top pin off . Can this be fixed ? Atomizer can still read it,but I don’t trust that . Any help is good, thanks all

Hi and Welcome,

What problem did you try to resolve by pulling the center pin?
If it still works, what don't you "trust"?
Can the part you removed be pushed firmly back into place?
Where are you located?

Cheers
I

Hello, the original problem I tried to fix was Atomizer Short message, I tired to pull the center pin up because i thought it was an atty & pin connection issue. The top pin can not be screwed or snapped back on, it snapped off like like a cookie. I wanted to use glue or some type of putty to reconnect it but I’m afraid what if the mod will stop working or blow up idk. This is my first mod, I’m use to Internal battery pens, I’m from NY.

Everything that is left on that pin is positive. The only difference between what you had before you broke it and now is that before you had a solid pin & now you have a pin with a hole in it (it looks more like a squonker now lol).

As long as the mod still reads your atty, you should be fine. In fact, it looks like that before it was broke the positive pin was wider. Now that you broke it, it is thinner, so there should be no way that it will short by contacting the negative 510 threads on your atty. However, if you do temp control, you may have a problem as it may not read well enough.

However, if it bothers you, then you only have 2 choices...

1) Throw the mod away
2) Find a 510 connector that is suitable for that mod and replace it. In the USA, FatDaddyVapes and Varitube sell 510 connectors. In china, Fasttech sells many 510 connectors. This, of course, entails opening the mod and doing some soldering (not much, but you do have to do some soldering).

Option 2 may not be worth it to you. I don't know. You will have to open it up, take many measurements and buy the 510 connector that is a best fit for the mods.

Well you didn't mention that you had "atomizer short" both before and after the pin was broke. In that case, you have an internal issue and replacing the 510 (if you even want to try) will likely not work. The mod is probably ready for the garbage bin. Do yourself a favor and buy something other than Smok. Has a solid reputation for making great looking junk anymore.

I'm so sorry i was not very detailed in my both my post. you guys are super helpful, you are right smok is kinda crappy lol

One thing you can try is to clean the 510 on the mod really good with rubbing alcohol and Qtips. Let it dry and see if that fixes it. If not, it's probably trash.
