I had a question (ok it's kind of a multi part question), this isn't completely istick related but maybe someone here can help me out. I love the ego adapter than came with my istick, the ring on it perfectly fills the gap that would normally be there when using any other adapter and a beauty ring. And it also keeps me from screwing the adapter down any further than needed. But my only problem with it is that it isn't sealed. Are there any safe ways for me to seal it myself? Like maybe soldering it closed? Or would the metal that you usually use with a soldering iron not be safe? I have other sealed adapters but I just don't care for them as much as this one. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated!
Please keep in mind that thousands of people are using the unsealed 510/ego adapter with no problems. I use a variety of tanks on my iSticks. There has been no need for a sealed adapter. When adding liquid or changing coils I use a Q-tip to remove the drop or two of liquid that had settled on the adapter. A drop or 2 of liquid from the bottom of the coil housing is normal. I have accidentally unscrewed part of a few tanks while still attached to the adapter. Liquid ran everywhere. There was liquid in the adapter but none on the 510 pin. The reason is eliquid is relatively thick compared to water. The hole in the bottom of the adapter is tiny. The thickness, in addition to the pin in the bottom of the adapter, prevents the liquid from getting to the 510 pin. I rinse and clean the adapters in almost boiling water once a week which is overkill. Unless your tank is leaking a lot of liquid there should be no problem. If the tank is leaking heavily there may be a problem with an o-ring. Excessive leaking can also be caused by tightening the tank or coil too little or too much.
