geekvape aegis solo battery cap, is that normal?

[Alexandros Fotiadis]

Hello, yesterday i bought the geekvape aegis solo and i couldnt help but notice the battery cap doesnt seem to screw all the way in, it doesnt even sit flat on a table. Does this happen to all the solo's or i got a dull one; should i return it; Thanks!

What battery do you have in there? It's not a protected battery is it?

just a regular LG HG2(the brown) battery, the battery height doesnt affect same thing happens without a battery.

Is the oring causing it to bottom out, or the threads not cut on the plug/opening? Either way, if it's new, return it, I don't think that's normal..

its not the oring, the threads are not cut on the plug, it screws fine but the cap sticks out..

I don't have the solo, just have the old 100w aegis, the plug screws in flush with the base. Not sure yours is a problem other than an annoyance, but I would still return it. If nothing else, it probably doesn't seal correctly and the battery has to be just a bit looser inside, a little wear on the spring and it's going to be not making contact.

i also own the first 26650 aegis and the battery cap does screws flush. I am not sure if the battery is a bit loose it doesnt rattle or anything but i hate the fact that is so wobbly when i place it on a flat surface because of that protruding cap, i will return it i am just afraid that the shop will me that is how some solo's are designed or something like that.

This happened after you installed the battery for the first time?Is there a chance you crossed the threads?

I dont believe that the threads are crossed or anything, oddly enough i asked for the guy in the shop if i could open and try the mod when i bought it and he seemed to used some force when he placed the battery i guess he was in hurry, even if the threads are damaged it wasnt my fault so i am gonna return it

 

[greek mule]

Exactly,it's the employee's fault.I'm sure they will replace it.

Return it, definitely I think. Good luck.

I realize that this is a slightly older thread but...

I wanted to pop in and say that with my Solo it's really easy to get the battery compartment cover cross threaded by just a tiny fraction. Although it will screw on perfectly well, it isn't actually flush when it happens and will definitely leave you with an unstable mod. I found that a little dielectric grease on the threads fixes this nicely.

I have a Solo, and for what it's worth, I have to really compress that o ring before turning the cap. It 'feels' like it would like to cross thread. That is, the o ring is so thick that if you don't compress it, it just doesn't want to engage.

Don't know if that's relevant to your problem, or not.

The same thing is happening to my aegis 100watt solo! Cap pops off for no reason and when I put it back on it is like it doesn’t catch.. it just spins and spins it takes 20 minutes or more for it to catch
