Kanger Protank threads snapped clean off

[lamarrk]

Interesting your viva broke at the thread connector. I've had to replace 2 of the plastic tanks from dropsies, seems they always crack at the bottom tank thread.

Makes that bottom part totally useless. I did save the parts for that "just in case" time.

I dropped mine last night, broke the base off AND screwed up the threads on my Sigelei #8. I am freaking out. Anyone know where I can get it rethreaded??? (MODERATED)

In the same boat here. Dropped one and it must have just landed right. I believe the threading on the Protank base is its weak spot. I've hunted all over but the only places I know that carry just the base are the two you mentioned. I may order a couple extra when they become available again.

Yep! Mine snapped off in my VAMO in shorty mode at work today,
Guess I'll have to get a lanyard for my pacifier...

The same thing happened to me and so I fabricated a fix. I took an old cartio tube thing ripped it apart and drilled it out (so the protank atomizer will fit through it) and ground the back side down flat, then I took a die grinder tool and made a indentation on the pro tank base for the new thread piece to fit in(if you don't do this the threads would be too long and it wouldn't make a connection. Once I had it all lined up I shoved a piece of rubber in the base where the atomizer screws in( so I wouldn't damage them) and then a soldered the two pieces together. So it seen stronger than it was originally and vapes great! It sounds complicated but it only takes 30 to 45 minutes. If u want to do this and have any questions let me know ill try to help if u want any pics ill try to post them
