G Priv got damaged... Any suggestions?

[Avid Vapor]

Hi guys

So I had my G Priv in the door pocket of my car and it dropped hard while I tried to step out and close the door. Bc of the hard fall the top steel ring (on the 510 connection) got very loose and popped out 1/2 inch or so. That made putting my Griffin there very difficult. I know I should've stopped and gotten the mod checked but I kept using still trying to twist back the cap by applying pressure through the screwed on Griffin.

Now I'm at that I pass where it would even read the atomizer. I'm posting pictures below, I have no clue what to do or what pictures I should post so kindly help however you can and ask for whatever details you think would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

Cheers!

Well, it looks like the 510 connector got pulled out and is busted. As it happened from a fall, I doubt it will be covered under warranty. If you're in the US you can contact madavapes, who does warranty work for smok, but they will likely charge you for a repair. If you're handy you can take it apart and see if you can fix it yourself, or hopefully someone who has taken a G Priv apart will be by with some guidance.

You might also want to view this review by DJL who did a full tear down on it. Maybe you can get some ideas that way.

From the pictures and the review it appears to be another press fit 510 and with it being lined up straight pressing it back in would difficult without properly supporting the casing it sits in.

I might be able to persuade my local electrician to open it up but if there was a guide for opening it up that would be really helpful
