That's a common problem I hear about.

I use protanks, but I use them on miniprotank bases so I don't get that problem.

Vamo Body Parts
google 'vamo parts'

Ya beat me to it.. I even use the Vamo tops they have for modding!

Very cool and it looks like an inexpensive fix.

I want to thank castle rat and everyone else. I got an ego to ego 510 atomizer adapter and it works. Thank you all.

If you got 8 months out of a Vamo, you're doing great! buy something else as a reward to yourself!

Um, this may be a dumb question, but couldn't you just run a tap over the threads?

I know this is an older post, but the short answer is yes you can.

The main reason why it might not work is the shallowness of the 510 connector (and the fact that you cannot pass the tap all the way through the threaded part of the 510 connector) which means unless the issue is with the first few threads on the connector, a tap often will not fix the issue.
