GLV is sick...

[Jeremy386]

My GLV doesn't "hold" the cartos anymore. They wont screw down tight, and when I get it to hold in place a slight bump causes them to fall out. Have tried several different Cartos across a few different orders. They used to screw down solid, so I'm assuming I've got a problem with the GLV side of the connector.

Anyone have a suggestion to a temp fix?? I'm going on vacation in a week, so sending it in for repair isn't an option unfortunately.

Thanks for your help/advice.

Take the plastic nub on the bottom of the head off and push pin inside up gently with a small screwdriver

I think the OP has a different problem other than pin contact. Almost sounds like the treads have been stripped out the way I read it (pics or vid wld help). But I'd contact (better yet... phone), Jay and see if he has a viable suggestions other than sending it back for repair for the time being.

wrap tinfoil around the out side of the connection on the atty. make sure none of it is touching the center post. that should hold for a day or 2. call me tho so we can get you fixed up.

I had the same problem with stripped brass threads. I made do by inserting foil or on some of my cartos that had a double notch, prying the threads open with a flat blade or screwdriver. I couldn't possibly survive a day without my GLV so ordered a 2nd backup unit which I got yesterday and love the new pin adjustment feature! Jay, mine is on it's way back for thread replacement, pin upgrade and resistor replacement. It sounds bad but I've had mine since last July and it hasn't been out of arms reach since I got it!! I owned thousands of dollars worth of ecigs before this one and will never own anything else!

Mine is starting to get a bit of wobble in the threads as well. Sending her back in for nex threads and a Hex upgrade.

I have to ask, what is the nex threads?

 

[Scottitude]

Most likely a typo. Either that or a contraction of "new" and "hex" i.e.: n'ex.

If it's a typo, shtuff happens; if it's a contraction, it's pretty creative.

I'm leaning toward the former.

Just an FYI I am working on threads that will not wear out. Ill be testing different metal types to come up with a better brass fitting. The threads last along time but I want them to last a real long time. any time metal rubs against metal you will get wear. I want to make that wear happen to the atty first.

I try to keep an adapter on mine so Im not screwing and unscrewing all the time.Less wear and tear on the threading.
