ego to 510 adapter?

[Nathan Hartwell]

No... I didn't type that wrong.
I was wondering if anyone makes a EGO to 510 adapter?

Long story short. I have a vamo v2, and the 510 threads crapped out... EGO works fine though. I'm basically limited to my clearomizers now. Which is fine, but sad.

The same question was asked a couple of weeks ago, and I went on an exhaustive search that ended up with zip, zero, zilch, bupkus, and nada.

There is the possibility of tapping out the threads and restoring them, though. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/30256-taps-dies-901-801-510-4xx.html

Agreed. No such.

They have 510 to ego, and conductive thread epoxy...

Once your 510 threads go kaput, you either have to replace the top cap, or go with ego threaded devices...

Unfortuantely they don't sell the components individually..and the old "consumer" mantra of cheap, if it breaks chunk it and get a new one

You can pick up a Vamo V5 for $32.43 from fasttech, wait a few weeks to a month, then have spare parts in case the next one goes kablooey...

put on threads, screw in, hold in place with a vice or something...let cure...hope it holds

This is one of the main reasons I bought a handful of eGo threaded clearomizers/tanks...so I wouldn't wear out my 510 connectors as fast

The GS-H2, GS-H5C, T2S, T3, X6S, MT4, KWX10, protank 2 mini, Protank-II mini style, vivi nova V12, RC200, RC400 all are ego threaded and work very well

Good luck

Yep, I'm the guy who asked, or at least one of them. I searched for days. I've looked at so many sites that have tons of adapters and found nothing. I did find ways you could use an ego to 808 then an 808 to 510 and other such frankensteins but it would break off at a slight breeze. I just ended up getting a new dripper with better 510 threads. My PV threads were just large not stripped but my dripper was stripped and I had a 510 to ego that worked for a while but it finally gave out. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I don't have a vamo, but will answer your question.

EGO/510 adapter

Review on site says they use to protect vamo threads.

The only way I have seen to fix your problem is to purchase an"air flow controller" that has 510 male threads on one end and 510 female threads on the other end. You could use the conductive thread epoxy to connect the male threads on the air flow controller to the female threads on you mod. You would then have good SS threads to use that would last for ever.
The threads on my Evic are very soft and I put an air flow controller on it to save the threads. The air flow controller is about 22mm in outside diameter.
I don't remember which vendor I purchased it from, but I have seen them on a few sites.
Hope this lets you salvage your mod.

Here is a link, another good idea.

That is the item I was speaking about. If the epoxy will hold it, the mod can be saved.

That will eliminate all chances of using eGo threading ever again, there is a 510 to 510 connector if that is all you plan on ever using

Saw that it is not ego to 510

This is just your standard 510 to ego adapter. While it will protect threads because it is being used instead of the threads on your device, it will not work when the 510 threads are shot as in your case.

The air flow controller is a good idea, but, again, it will not work if the threads are gone. Be aware that you will not have a catch cup since the top is flat. Depending on your vaporizer, it could get messy. They all have some seepage or condensate which go through the center hole of the 510. Some vaporizers do not have a center hole (some of RBA's). I have seen catch cups for sale, but cannot remember where.

Conductive epoxy might work to fix whatever adapter you choose. It can get pretty hot down there, so the epoxy might break down quickly under the heat load.

Sometimes a quick fix is can be taking a strand from an 18 gage lamp wire and wrapping it around the thread of your adapter.

the 510 is a weird thread size so you might have trouble finding a tap-not that it would help you at all.

It might be possible to go ego to 901 to 510, but it would start to look a little strange.

This may just end up being a FUBAR, or you could start vaping ego style vaporizers like Evod's or T3's.

BTW, I do have some of these ego adapters and they all have 510 female threads so you would not be without a 510 connection.
