Desperate times call for desperate measures!

[erikbal]

So I've had an MVP2 and a vv v3 for almost a year now with no problems. The other day the MVP was sitting on the coffee table with my nautilus on it and the dog hit it with her tail and knocked it over, like she has many times. This time when it landed the tank came off of it. She must've hit it just right because now the threads are stripped. My v3 barely holds a charge anymore so it's plugged in pretty much the whole time I'm home and when I'm out and about I have to carry both the MVP and v3 with me and charge the v3 off the MVP. What's scary is my v3 has a lot of play in the whole top piece and if that breaks I'm screwed. Money is pretty tight right now so I'm doing the best with what I've got. I really want an istick but haven't had the spare cash. I've been smoke free for over a year now and want to avoid going back to the cigs at all costs.
Well anyways theres my little novel lol. Anyone else ever been in a similar situation? Thank God I have the v3 as a back up but it's the only one!

If the outside ego threads are still good on the MVP, you could use an ego threaded tank on it to get more use out of it. Toppers like the Kanger evod use the ego threads. Good luck!

Yeah that's true I didn't even think of that. I have a couple ego threaded clearos but don't have any replacement coils for them or anything. My Nautilus has been my main tank for a long time now and I do have spare coils for that. The local vapor lounge might carry the evod/protank coils though..

Consider using an ego to 510 adapter.

I was just thinking about that but I'm not sure they make them do they? I know they have 510 to ego but not sure about ego to 510.

i always keep 3 in rotation.2 eleafs and a mvp. i also bought steel hallowed out sleeves for my 5ml and 2 ml nautilus's just for that reason.running out or not having a vape available makes me nervous lol.


like others have said, find an ego threaded tank.the kanger oldschool coils can be had for pretty much a buck or so



Edit by classwife : System glitches today, please note that post #3 is the real OP of this thread

the old kanger coils can be had for like a buck or two

eGo to [eGo] Adapter

ETA: and save up for a backup as your first priority.

^^^What Susan said. If there are threads left on it anywhere, (510 or ego) you should be able to rig something up to get by for a while. Best of luck to you.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I was wanting to get an istick anyways before the MVP broke because I want a little more power and the battery on the MVP doesn't last like it used to. I was just hoping it could wait till after the holidays or at least till Christmas.

Fatdaddyvapes 510 v3 with 22 mm washer. Less than $10 shipped. If you have a dremel and can solder....

Let me play devil's advocate here and throw in something that nobody's mentioned yet. You said that you're worried about going back to smoking...

According to your profile, you're in NY state, where the internet tells me cigarettes are $13 a pack. If you can afford to go back to smoking, you can afford the istick you want. It costs 3 packs of cigarettes. When I smoked, that was 3 days worth, and less than that for a lot of people here. Just save up three days worth of cigarette money instead of buying the cancer sticks and you've got yourself the shiny new toy you've been eying with no more hardware trouble.

Not trying to be a bad guy or anything, I just know that when I was broke and smoking, I was motivated to find that money SOMEWHERE and I always managed to. Addicts usually do. So you may be able to use that motivation and scrimp a little somewhere else that's less important to you.

I live right near the seneca nation of Indians reservation so I can get packs of cigarettes for about $3 a pack. Although I will do whatever it takes to not go back to smoking.
