Lost my LED cap... help!

[Scorched]

Sooo, I dropped my 510 on a cement surface. Good thing they are pretty durable, it doesn't seem to have taken any damage...

other than the fact that the cap covering my LED popped off and it is nowhere to be found. The unprotected light is just plain annoying. On top of that, I don't want any type of liquids to get into my battery from the top side now, that is a bit distressing.

Does anyone know if I can order some caps from somewhere, or if there is a solution?

use a cap from a carto if you have one. if you don't, i can send you some. or go to your local hardware store and look for a plastic/rubber cap that will fit.

Mix up some 2-part epoxy and fill in the end of the battery tube. Most epoxy is semi-transparent, so you'll still get some light coming through. If you don't have epoxy, elmer's glue will work well enough to keep stuff out of the tube and cut down the brightness a bit. Just be sure the glue is fully dried before using it, as elmer's is water-based, and it will conduct electricity (short out the LED) if it's still wet.

bubblegum? just cut a piece of plastic or something and glue it on. batteries dont last forever anyway. dont go crazy trying to fix it.

I used hot glue on mine once... it actually looks pretty cool.

I know some of the flat round gemstones they sell at art stores fit in the end and with a little glue would prolly stay in forever. They also look really cool with the light behind them. The only bad thing about the fact that I use mods is that I can't do this anymore. maybe I'll have to get some stick on ones and decorate my mods instead .

Whenever I lose battery caps, I just stick on a dot of clear silicon caulk. Works like a charm and diffuses the light more or less the same amount as the stock caps.

Edit: Or switch to a 401, haha. I've dropped mine on the sidewalk way more times than I did my 510 (which is now collecting dust. I actually considered tossing it today but decided to keep it as a monument to my start to vaping.) and the caps are still as snug as ever. When I dissassembled a dead one I found that they had about twice as much surface area in contact with the inside of the battery wall. Sorry for the plug, but I love my 401.

That is a great find! Lucky for me I only use my Silver Bullet, and don't have to worry about broken parts.

Well, that looks like a pretty gnarly site but I might just have to go with topping off the end with some goo.

They charge $12.00 for shipping on an item they could easily fit into an envelope and ship for 40 cents. At that rate, I might as well get a new battery xD

Was going to ask the same thing, dropped my in a bar while drunk last night. Woops! Probably going to try some two part epoxy.

I might have one that was on my 510 passthrough you can have if you want and I can find it. I think I can. It would have a hole where the cord went but that is small and could be plugged. It is blue I think, or green, and it should fit. PM me if you want it and I'll send it to you.

Can I just have your passthrough?
No sense in wasting a passthrough. Plus I've never experienced one.
