Hints to fix adapter?

[Michelle43]

I dropped my GGslim, and at the time it had a 901-510 adapter on it with a 510 carto. The carto top broke off but the metal threaded part is still in the adapter.

Any hints to get the threaded metal part out? I tried a needlenose for a few minutes but I didn't want to damage it or make it worse so I quit that.

I need to find a way to unscrew the broken metal carto piece out. Thinking maybe a potato like broken lights bulbs, but I don't have a potato now to try it.

Not a big deal I can replace the adapter, but if anyone has a tip I would like to try it.

Perhaps a small jeweler's screwdriver could get a grip on it? I got an adapter out of a Mega cylinder atomizer using one.

Hi Michelle,

I assume you have the adapter unscrewed from the Slim. If not this may help relieve pressure on the center conductor and make removing the connector easier.

You might try a pencil eraser or some type of blunt knife tip that might be able to dig into the aluminum of the connector. Shouldn't take too much to get it loose.

Thanks
Rob
