I think my center post inside my tank holder is up to far I cant screw some of my tanks on and when I can get my nautilus and try I have to push down and then screw while still pushing and hold my breath that it is going on straight. I have had mvp about 2 months and it just started doing this yesterday...... Hope somebody can help

have you cleaned the threads with a qtip and some isopropyl alcohol recently? Sometimes its gets all gunky/gritty in the connection and that makes a problem. I have never seen an MVP have a 510 connection that got to high, you should be able to gently push it down a mm or 2 its a floating pin - but the well is so deep, I would think gunky/gritty threading that needs a cleaning to be more likely...let us know 
I just cleaned the threads real good and it was pretty gunky but still cant get tanks on and they were working fine before my nautilus I have to push down and turn at the same time and my davide doesn't thread at all it just spins....I put a kayfun 3.1 clone on it the other day could that have done something to it ? How do you push the center post down ? thanks for your help
It sounds more like you cross threaded it maybe. Is the center pin sticking up super high? Are you not able to put the davide on because its hitting that pin or will it not catch on the threads?
it will not thread at all same with the clone too and it worked fine yesterday, what does cross thread mean ?
Did you check to see if you need to adjust the post on the kayfun? The kayfun has a adjustable post. You might need to adjust it for whatever reason. The bottom pin or post on the kayfun can be adjusted with a flat head screw driver. You might need to tighten it up more so in that case you would tighten the post where it moved closer to the tank. Having a adjustable pin like it does there should be no reason you can't adjust it to fit. Maybe for whatever reason the pin got moved. You should with a few adjustments on the kayfun get her fitting again. Hope this helps.
It sounds like you cross threaded your connection. The only plausible fix is to get a 510/eGo adapter and *if* you can get it to catch and thread you put it on and leave it. You would then screw your tanks on and off of that (carefully as not to cross thread that too)
510 Battery to eGo Atomizer Adapter
If you have a local B&M they should be likely to have them as well - around 2-3 bucks

Cross threading means that when you screw something in the threads are not properly aligned and they go over each other. Cross threading can damage threads and cause things to not properly mount together. A close inspection of the threads on your MVP should show wether or not they are damaged.
sounds like you cross threaded the MVP if it works on your kids. In other words you may have damaged the threading where you screw the tank on. If that is infact the case you may be out of luck. Or you maybeable to salvage it with a tap/die set and use it to gently fix the threads.
The tanks should just screw right on no prob. If they take force I bet you cross threaded it.
Can you take pics of the part the tanks screw in to/on as in pics from all angles so we can kinda see if that is the case?

Cross threading means your threading got off track. What was the last item you had on there that worked? see if you can put it on. If it is a threading problem you can get a 510 to 510 and 510 to eGo adapter for your MVP2. They are like 2.99 to 3.95 each.
Did you get a tank on crooked right before this became an all the time issue? Is it *only* the 510 (inner threads) or *only* the Ego (outside threads) that are experiencing the problem?
You should never use any force to push down and you should not ever really crank tanks down tight. Turn them gently until they catch - barely snug.
whenever I put a tank on a mod, instead of just screwing it on to the connector I back the tank up, turn it to the left, when making contact with the threads to get it into the right thread.
CreepyLady I have that adapter but I can't get it to thread..... hubby checked it out and he says it looks like that is what I did guess I will be getting a new one so I will be spending my weekend with the old spinners unless I spend 30 bucks more at local B&M. Thanks everybody for the help
