Second V2 started shorting the pos post, no visible tubing in the hole so I cut 1/4 inch of 2mm teflon tubing, pressed it over the wire and down into the hole. Temp fix but it is working again.

The one I have that broke, I was also noticing the PTFE tubing dropping down and getting closer and closer to the holes. Definitely going to replace mine when I pull it apart!

Any of you guys have found a stronger 510 connection or know where to buy ? im thinking about changing my lines connection and been thinking abotu using the boge cartos connections but i doubt they are any stronger.
Had a hard time finding a connector that fits, regular 510 atty connecter was too loose, ce2 too big, finally found one in my junk box but don't know what it came off, it was longer and had a mini O ring and I had to cut it to make it shorter.

Well that is not good news. That mini o-ring indicates it came from some sort of clear cartomizer of some sort ... most likely...

Has anyone found a replacement 510 connecter that fits the line? I had a hard time finding one, ended up using one that had a little oring, I think it came off a ce2, had to modify it cutting off the part with the oring. This connecter has side air hole and makes the line sit higher.

Still no luck but theres a guy in the UK that started offering repair services , im gonna ask him what/where he get the conector plus he say he have 2 types , one is the same used in original design and the other a "much" stronger one.

Hi!
my Line is leaking from the bottom because when i put it upright and the tank is half full, it leaks, bad. so i had dissembled it but doesnt want to risk breaking the bottom connector, so i left it intact. my question is, can i just apply silicone without taking out the bottom connector and the tank? As in wiping silicone at the bottom of the tank? will it seal the leak?

thanks in advance...
