Difficulty with my Ego Battery and 6ml Dual Coil Tank

[BethAnn]

Hi...

My supplier sent me a 6ml Dual Coil Cartimizer tank. I have a ego battery. I'm having the hardest time getting this battery on and off the tank. I can't really tighten it up because the bottom of it turns with the battery. I'm afraid getting this battery on and off I'm going to lose all my juice Any suggestions on a easy way to do this? I hope I explained it well enough

Id say ask your supplier if they have any adaptors to lengthen the connection on your battery. My sister had the same issues with a couple batteries.

that's funny cause my supplier told me to go here for help...LOL. She just said using a paper towel may help??? but it didn't really help for me

I'll post a pic of it in a minute.

My favorite local store carries every imaginable adaptor a person could ever need and then some. When you cant screw it down all the way its usually cause you dont have enough thread before the tank hits the battery. Or it could also be not enough thread. Those straight through adaptors to change thread length are a couple bucks. If your supplier doesn't have any find a local store to show it too. Just a minute ago somebody posted VaporSearchUSA in another thread. Might be useful here.

Thanks someone3x7...here is what i have. When i go to try to screw the battery off the whole cartimizer and drip tip rotate with it...grrrrr!!! I'll check out my local vapor shop and see what they have to help me out....but in the mean time for the folks who have experienced the same thing...please chime in

Picture doesn't zoom in well, but, looks like too short of a thread. As for my experience, I'm usually the one that solves my sister's problems when something sparkly catches her eye. She has yet to get something there wasn't an adaptor for.

Edit: oh and you will also need a sleeve to cover that gap.

Hold it by the drip tip to twist it off. I have had this happen as well and that is how it works for me.

Does your tank have a recessed flange shape on the base? There are 2 types of cartos, flanged and round, here is a link to a flanged carto ...

My tank has a recessed flange shape so that my rig does not rotate around my flanged carto.

When i hold the drip tip and turn it the whole plastic tank turns too???

Tolver..I don't know...I'll post a close up pic

With tanks the tank is basically hanging on the carto with a couple seals. I'm sorry I may have misunderstood your question. I thought it was getting stuck when tightening.

 

[someone3x7]

So from bottom to top you have the connection, the cartomizer in the center (which needs replaced occasionally), then the drip tip. The tank merely hangs on the carto. Its not welded into place.

Edit: Which is to say, yes, when you turn the tip it turns everything.

Hmmm. I know if I hold the tank it will just spin, but holding the drip tip works. I gather cause it is firmly wedged in the cart. perhaps some pressure, sort of pushing the drip tip towards the battery and turning.

Poot...just spilled some juice getting this off! Anyway, this is what it looks like. Now i just need to know what i need to fix it

This is where I bought my tank, you can see in the image that it has a recessed flange inset, and the supplied carto has a flange on it. Once the carto is set into the recess it is firm and prevents the tank from rotating freely.

It looks as though your carto has a flange but your tank does NOT have a recessed flange shape? If that is the case then I can see how your setup may rotate freely. Perhaps a different tank will give different results?

You might consider a clearmoizer like a rebuildable ce5. They are a lot less hassle and give a nice flavor. I think I'm rambling too much though. My apologies.

Edit: last ramble, I just rememered my local store had an adaptor for that too. So you could grab and twist the adaptor off instead. Fit nicely up to the bottom of her tank.
