After dropping my k100+igo-l (partially due to numerous cocktails but mostly gravity) my Igo won't screw on straight. I am not sure if I knocked something askew or managed to strip threads some how. Separate Igo (that was not attached at time of drunken neglect) does the same thing so I reckon it's the mod. Threads don't appear to be stripped. Any way to remedy/troubleshoot the issue?

Probably be the top cap or the 510 connector that got damaged .
Look to see if the 510 is an insert of some kind , or is actually part of the top cap .

Might be able to persuade it back , but I doubt it .... things never go smooth eh !
Look to verify the fault , then sourcing a top cap/510 for the mod .

If not repairable , keep it crooked for when you are drunk in future ! :)

You may have a portion of the 510 male threads that are broken off in the mod. You can try using a pencil eraser to unscrew the broken portion out of the female threads on the device. You might also have some success using an awl or some other slender, sturdy metal stick to see if you can catch part of the broken threads and unscrew it. A super small allen wrench might work.

The Protank I was notorious for having a weakly threaded 510 base that would break off when dropped or knocked over.
