I replaced the connector in mine with a connector taken from an old 510 atty. It fit perfectly. The trick is removing the connector from the atty without bending/damaging it. There are some places where you can order one online, such as here: 510 Atomizer Connector, Assembled.
**EDIT POST**
Where are you located. If in the USA PM me for an address and send me the broken connector and I will send you a replacement part. Outside of the USA you should contact Uwe and he will send you the replacement.

Some people use that, or one of the 'weld' style pastes. I think tinning the outside with solder and presure fitting it with a vice is probably more efficient. How you choose to do it may depend on how much play there is between the fitting and the mounting hole.
trying to stay calm but do we have any estimated time for shipment? this has been nearly a year now and am sure the troops are getting restless but just ain't saying so out of respect for Uwe....don't want to lock anyone into a date but this is stretching out just a little too long to say the least
Just think it is hard for us folks to understand why it takes soooo long to do a pressure mold...almost 5 months? you would think in that amount of time you could manufacture a pressure molding machine....but heck what do I know...just looking for an estimate...... 2 months? 6 months? another year? no mold = no news....ok...... what is the estimated time to receive the mold and we can start from there.
To our house we'll ask for another ETA later on.

Honestly, when he posted that, I did some research into turn around time for a pressure mold. What I got was 1-3 months depending on the complexity. I'm just not sure we're ever going to see this thing. The money is gone as far as I'm concerned...if the mod shows up, great...but I'm not holding my breath.
At this point in time disappointment sums up this whole operation and how it has been handled...don't want to start a grip session but feel like those who have ordered the Kronos have been held hostage by amateurish and irresponsible behavior.
To me, no matter how perfect the design of the Kronos is supposed to be it has all been negatively overshadowed by a distant organizer that seems to be aloft to a community he portends to serve. nuff said.

Glad to see progress is being made. I bet Uwe is more ready for this to be finished than we are to get them.
@Jed,
if you are in a rush you should buy in a shop from stock and not participate in a project.
A project is totally different from a shop. At the beginning there is an idea. Than we start to design and to build. In that process a lot of things can go wrong or cause delays.
The first milled boxes were from a poor quality and we decided to make a pressure mould. That is an expensive task and we are very carefull with that. The second injections are now on the way to me and we test again. when all is clear we go into production with the boxes.
The other parts are here since a long time.
In a project the active member work in their free time to give passive member the chance to get an item which they otherwise would never get or never get for that price. When I read you comment I don't wonder why nobody will participate, including me, as an active member in a project again.
It is easy to argue from a TV chair with legs up.
