Nah! Scrub that,

Yes scrub that, we are talking about the 510 pin, which is made of copper and probably a flat head screw, don't know about you but I have quite often shaved the edge of off a flat head screw (if it is a philips/posi head then not so bad). I wrecked the copper battery adjustment screw on my black Kangxin VF and can now only use the other battery tube, luckily it'll work with only one battery.

No, inside the tube at the other end is an adjusting positive screw, the battery caps were sticking out after inserting the battery, so I tried adjusting the positive end, and didn't realise they were reverse threaded so ended up ruining the screw, and the connection. Copper is softer than steel or brass, even though it is more conductive.

Regarding Bob's flask, if it is the battery cap.
With the cap being copper and the softer material,i doubt the threading in the body of the mod is damaged.
So it's probably a case of obtaining a replacement cap.I'd be asking Kangxin if they would sell me a pair of caps.
I think this is why shortly after we obtained ours,they went on to brass as per the original.

Edit: we were obviously both typing at the same time Bob:)

How difficult is access Bob,if you remove the top plate?
It's not a massive fix if you can get in there.And you could fit a spring loaded SS 510 at the same time.
There's a lad on FB Wayne socrates stone(i think) will probably do it for you.

If it had been the caps, I would have asked for free replacement ones and in brass not copper, as I said I didn't risk playing with the other adjustment screw and now have the battery in the secondary tube, but the cap still won't sit flush and sticks out slightly, but at least it works, those Kangxin ones were not as good as the Waidea one, which i have not had the slightest of problems with, might even get another of those, and retire the Kangxin ones.

Keep the parts mate,we might need them;)

Will do, I wanted to get my older Vaporshark DNA30 fixed, but the cost of sending it back to the states and then the cost of parts, works out to roughly the same price as getting a new one, so not bothering with that either.
