The threading is shot and pipe tape and dental floss won't help any longer. I thought the bending adapter would help, but that doesn't help with stripped threads. Anybody have anyother solutions that would allow me to keep using my beloved istick?

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I wouldn't hesitate Joel, but my daughter-in law has the same problem,and so do quite a few people.I don't want to purchase another problem. Was just wondering if anyone had a permanent solution.
New 510 and a soldering iron? Doesn't the istick have an 18650 internal batt? Might as well replace that as well while you're in there if so.

You can buy a new one then put an air flow controller or 510-510 adapter on it and never remove the adapter. Other than that, poorly cut threads on mystery metal will strip over time. You can try this-
FatDaddyVapes - Classic 510 Insert W/ Bottom adjusting pin - NOW AVAILABLE!!! :: DIY PARTS / KITS - A to Z Vapor Worldâ¢
It really is a disposable mod, though...

Thanks for the suggestions . I might wind up tearing it up. Guess I might bite the bullit. Like ya said stevegmu, disaposable mod. Thanks again guys.
You might as well try to replace the connector. I know I will if mine ever fails. Drop into the big istick thread and ask for tips.
Or just give it to me.

Looks like a replacement unit is your best bet. Order a new on and then mess around with the broken one. Those FDV 510s look pretty nice for 5 bucks. I may have to order one to put in my Hana
Definitely going to look at the FDV510. I did order the ipv mini, but I love my istick. Want to thank you guys again for all the suggestions. I'll make this work one way or the other.
The aluminum around the 510 adapter worked. Thanks for heads up on the link Matty. Lovin' my istick again
Mine came with an adapter. I'd heard about thread issues, so I put the adapter on & never take it off. It's 510 & ego threaded.
Did mine this morning. It's on a silver one and looks great, pics to follow. The top cap is really nice and only adds 10mm in height. I used the FDV v4 510 it came with a 15mm cap that can be replaced by just unscrewing it from the 510 and the center pin is spring loadded, I need to get a couple of 22mm caps on the way it comes down to asthetics for me and the 15mm is lost under a nauti mini.
Maybe...since I'm "newer" here than many...I still calculate vaping equipment prices in "analog" terms.
So $30 = less than 5 packs of analogs. And, for me, after 2 days they would have ended up as butts/ashes in the multiple ashtrays I used to have scattered throughout my house.

Am I understanding this correct? The top cap and fdv510 are just fitted on the istick? There is no soldering or anything to do? If so, where do I purchase?
You'll need a torx T5 screwdriver to remove the screws. The 510 positive and negative wires must be snipped. The 510 pos & neg wires must be desoldered from the board. New wires must then be soldered to the board and then the new FDV positive pin and negative nut. The new top cap would be secured with the stock screws and the FDV could then be installed. If you're comfortable doing that, send me a message.
