My box mod thread seems to be stripped

[Lori Brown]

Hi guys. Hope you've had an amazing Holiday Season.
I've only had my Dovpo box mod a few months (I love building my own coils), but none of my tanks seem to be able to thread soi wondering if it's stripped? If so, is there a solution? Someone was saying there might be an adapter to help, but what are your thoughts? I feel like, since y'all have been vaping a long time, at least one of u wonderful folks may have run into this problem before, as well. Thank u so much.

You can try an adapter, but it may be too late. If your connector threads are already stripped then the unit will have to go into a repair shop for a new top connector to be fitted.

I never use the connector on the top of the device, instead I keep an adapter screwed into it all the time. That way, you never have any connector problems. I don't care about a little gap between the APV and the head, if I did then I'd get a fashion piece to fill it (a ring / surround).

There are several adapter types you can use, which are all of the 510-to-510 type as you want something that doesn't change the thread system:
- a 510-to-510 short solid adapter
- a 510-to-510 short thru-way adapter
- a 510-to-510 long thru-way adapter
- a 510-to-510 eGo adapter (aka 510-to-eGo)

If you're not sure then use the eGo adapter, it allows you to also use CE4 type heads if you want. I've found them trouble-free for most purposes. It screws into your APV on one side, your head of choice screws on the top (the other end).

If your threads are really stripped bare, no adapter will help, like Roly said.

But check this video--go to about 5:30 min and look what he does with a piece of a business card.
