Help me out I "think" I stripped my threads

[Danieldaniel]

Thank you to all who are trying to help me. I recently bought an ego-t ecig that I've used quite a bit. I've really enjoyed it until now. It seems as if something chipped away on the tip of the battery. Let me try to explain.


I screwed on the drip tip too tight earlier, so I was really trying to get it up muscling it. I still never got it off, then I tried unscrewing my battery, and it won't screw back on. It's like the threads are messed up or something, because my battery charger won't screw onto it either! I can see something inside the tip of the battery slowly chipping away, it's like a little copper-looking like piece that doesn't even seem like it matters if it's their.


Found how to post a pic from photo bucket here are my pics:
Look closely at the brownish or tannish looking piece, that's what's chipped. I'm not talking about the little dot in the middle, what I'm talking about is like a circle of metal right onto/around the threads, you
Can see it in the pics

If you have any questions on what it looks like or how it may happen, ask away!


Some please help me fix it, thanks for your time.

A well focused picture would help knowing if they are stripped but yeah, they are made of a very soft material, copper or bronze covered with a thin chrome elecrolitic deposit. It's quite easy to strip them and they are --for the common mortal at least- unrepairable. My eVic threads became unusable with wear in barely a month, and I didn't "muscle" anything on them. It's about the biggest issue around vapers. The first t come out with a user replaceable thread on a Mod will get a Nobel prize.

Gentlemen, Always spin the device to the topper until just snug and not the other way around. DO NOT OVER TORQUE! as there is no need.

Another good Idea is to keep the threads clean and rub them with the ever so slightest coat of light machine oil using your finger.

You will save yourselves a lot of headache.

Jorge, At least with the Provari, you can send it in for repair. Can't do that with most all others.
