Eleaf Istick 50W, center pin is lost?

[UFUK SIKER]

I don't know how the hell it happened or where it fell, can't find it!
But this is what it looks like
Obviously, its erroring as "no atomizer" when anything attached
Any fixes or parts available for this problem?

Can't find any place that sells the pins. I would contact the vendor and ask them.

Oh, and welcome to the forum...good luck.

I think you only have a couple of choices.

1. Contact the vendor to see if you can get a replacement.
2. Take it apart and replace the 510 connector.

Try the first, it may work. The second could be difficult but may work.

I believe the 510 threads are press fit into the top cap. You would need to drive or drill that part out and replace it with a different 510 connector. The threads on a 50w are stainless steel so drilling might not work.

I successfully replaced a 510 connector in a 20w istick with one of these.

The center pins are not spring loaded so you might have some connectivity problems.

I had to drill out the threads with an11/32 drill bit and cut the bottom "skirt" off the 510 connector with a Dremel to get it to fit. Then solder the connections.

Someone here made a replacement top cap that was thicker and used a Fat Daddy's Vapes 510 connector that is SS and has a spring loaded center pin. Fat Daddy Vapes 510 Connector V3 | Sun-Vapers San Diego

Good luck!

Definitely contact the vendor, I don't think that center pin is supposed to just come out like that. How long have you had it? I would consider contacting eleaf warranty services and having it replaced if the vendor does nothing.

Almost any vape store would have some broken Isticks if they are a good store. I had a bunch given to me from our local store but they were not worth the grief fixing them and I threw them out. If not old a good store where you bought it will replace it. CHEERS!

First question any vendor and ismoka (eleaf) will ask is when did you take it apart... No one will just replace it after you've opened it and lost stuff but it sounds like GandyMarsh has an excellent solution right up your alley. Good Luck UFUK.

Sorry, but where did the OP say that they took it apart? Even taking it apart wouldn't cause the center pin to fall out. It should be soldered to a wire. My guess is that it twisted while screwing or unscrewing a tank and the solder broke.
