Glue?

[Dendrobite]

Okay, I got my Joye 510 starter kit in the post yesterday. After about the third or fourth time pulling the battery out of the PCC, the plastic tip over the LED popped off. I can get it back in there, but it pops back out very easily, and I'd rather it didn't. My first thought was to put a tiny bit of super glue around the edge but something tells me that might be a bad idea for two reasons. 1) I might accidentally seal off the tip and reduce air flow 2) Super glue is widely regarded as one of those things you should endeavor not to inhale.

Any suggestions?

Also, do they make extra tips in case it falls off when I'm not looking? Seems like one of those things people might want to switch out and personalize.

Thanks.

First and last shameless self bump. Almost lost the tip a few hours ago. Could really use some input here.

Can you just tape it in until maybe someone can come along to help you? Sorry I just don't know. Can you contact the vendor?

I know they sell steath caps for them. It is a plastic cover so you can't see the light.

Canbump you in hopes someone else knows..

Brilliant! thanks. now I know what to search for.

Sorry Dendrobite but I cant quite picture the problem... are your referring to the on/off button on the battery? And, if so, then you wouldn't be inhaling any super glue fumes through the cartridge , tank, etc... the vapor is produced beyond the battery and on/off switch.

I think he is talking about light at bottom of battery.

If it's a automatic 510 battery you shouldn't glue it. If it's a manual battery that requires you to push a button to fire it, then feel free to use super glue. Another suggestion I have is to contact the vendor you bought it from and try to have them send out a replacement and tell them you will send yours back once you get the replacement.

not sure how to repair this but as far as super glue goes it is non toxic once dry.

I like the idea of contacting the manufacturer. I don't know if they'd do it, but it would be nice.
For clarification, it is automatic and I'm referring to the semi-clear plastic cap over the light at the tip of the battery.

I wouldn't think there'd be a problem with gluing it, unless air needs to flow through that end for the switch to work.

I contacted the manufacturer. They agreed to send me a replacement after I send in my battery. I'm going to wait until my secondary battery comes in before sending it out. Thanks again for all the great advice.
