EGO Threading Stripped

[socalbeatnik]

I was trying to respond to a problem I am having with my Ego thread being stripped on a forum that I had found on this board.
So the problem is I have had an ego for about 3 months now and the threading is now stripped. The only tank I can get to tighten down is my Kanger Pro tank. I have been searing for some kind of solution to the problem w/o nhaving to buy a new head.
There is a forum here regarding this issue and someone posted a picture to a mount adapter that looked like it may work to solve problem and I was trying to get more information on where I can find one, the information on his post didnt have enough information to locate it.
So Looking for information on how to solve a threading issue on EVic

I don't have an evic, but if there's a 510 connector on top then think this might work for you.

Thanks, this is a problem for me as well, and with the same symptoms.

I know I am re-asking, but I have an ego-T battery with stripped threads. I am using various regular 510 attys.

How does the adapter/converter affix to a stripped thread? and is there any other way to make a connection?

I tried copper wires to make the atty screw tight but it did not make a connection.

You need an eGo to eGo adapter:

Thank you Katya ! I appreciate it.

The adapter fits on the outer thread. Perfect!

My pleasure!

They are sold out ATM, Chinese New Year, but send them an email and ask to notify you when they are back in stock

AFAIK, they are the only vendor that carries them.

Thank you, I noticed, I should have checked this thread before searching for them. lol


I have never had threading strip before. I suppose it is a good reason to try something new.

The only time I try something new is out of necessity it seems but I am always happy I do. So....
I am wondering if a tank type atomizer will work as well? Outside fittings? I can hold the atty on and make a connection so, I am thinking and wondering, as long as the tank can screw on the outside and makes a connection I can use it.

so... what does a naked thread look like?

Don't think they allow full nudies in Burbank strip clubs, it's not like NOLA!

If it's the 510 threads that are stripped, you can try tapping them - 7mm X .5 Metric HSS Right Hand Thread Tap M7 X 0.5mm Pitch - Amazon.com

If it's the eGo threads that are stripped, use this - 12mm X .5 Metric Right Hand Thread Die M12 X0.5mm Pitch h - Amazon.com

Yes, if your battery comes equipped with dual (510/eGo) connection, you can use eGo threaded heads on it bypassing the 510 threads (and vice versa). As long as you make an electrical connection--center pin to center pin), your atomizer will fire.

Thank you spaceballrules and katya.


The ego battery does have dual threads, inner 510 and external Ego.

I am planning on buying the ego to ego adapter when it is in stock,but until that time, I bought a clearomizer, which I thought should screw tight on the outer threading. Unfortunately, The center pin will not hold tight, as there isn't any threading in the C4, so I am not able to screw the clearomizer on. Shouldn't the c4 just screw on the outer eGo threads?


*Thinking out loud*
I have had small ego batteries last for months and months. This one, even though it had the ego-T stamp, I bought from ebay at a ridiculously cheap price. I am wondering if the threading off to begin with and even if I get the adapter it won't work either. If so,then I'll know if it is a factory second, Fortunately the adapter is cheap and if I could get it to work I would be ok with it. It fires just fine. It even picks up a charge hanging on the charger. (For which,I am sure there is an outer eGo threaded charger for that too. )

If your battery doesn't fire, try cleaning the threads with alcohol and wiggle the center post in the battery to raise it a bit. Use a mini screwdriver or a paper clip and wiggle it a bit--from all sides--very gently, just to raise it a hair.

But honestly, at this point, I suggest you get a new battery. Don't buy a cheap knockoff. Get a good variable voltage battery like eGo-C Twist, a Vision Spinner or iTaste MVP and you'll be much happier. Promise. If you prefer set voltage eGos, get some 1.8Ω heads. They will work fine with 3.3v batteries.

Also, try some new toppers--Kanger BCC clearos are nice; T3S, T2 (if you like top coil), eVod, mini ProTank 2 (if you like glass). CE4s are old technology, don't have replaceable coils and they were never great to begin with--IMHO.

There's nothing worse than lousy hardware--takes out all the fun out of vaping.

You are a treasure trove of good information Katya. I appreciate you!

I do like set voltage and I do have my eye on the basic eGo tanks. The clearomizer wasn't what I would have chosen had I not been trying to fit a thread.

OH so true!

I have an ego-c twist that has threads that no longer work. I would like to try and fix it using the 12mm X .5 Metric Right Hand Thread Die M12 X0.5mm Pitch you posted. I looked it up on Amazon.com, but how do you use it? LOL
