My MVP 1 is shot to hell--stripped 510 threading

[catlady60]

I give up on my MVP 1 - the 510 threads are darn near stripped. No matter which clearo or tank I try to put on, it won't connect. I tried to wrap the threads in aluminum foil, but it plugged up the air vents in the Protank and wouldn't draw. So I guess, until I can find someone to fix the threads or replace the ego connector, it'll be relegated to a portable charging station. I'm waiting for a mod and a charger in the vapemail, so I'm not going to be completely modless and having to vape egos.

Can't find any 7mm x .5 taps in any hardware stores around.

I did find a temporary fix. I wrapped aluminum foil around the threading of my 510-to-eGo adapter, screwed it in, and it connected. I just have to keep the adapter in until I find a more permanent fix to the stripped thread problem.

I feel for you. The same has happened to mine just this week and only 1 of my drippers still work on it. Luckily I have a few more batteries around so using other things at the moment. When i get enough money will be investing in something new. Good luck with trying to find a fix

Why don't you just use the ego threads with a ego-510 adaptor?

I solved the problem. It took an ego to ego adapter from kidneypuncher.com for me to be able to use the MVP again.

Sorry to hear this. It's so strange, this is the second thread I read today were someone was having problems with their MVP. I thought people loved those.

Never loved mine. Came dead out of the box, took it apart and its a piece of junk when you look inside , there where two VERY thin vires going from a cirquit board to the 510 connector and the soldering job was Lousy to say at least. I fixed it with new better wires I soldered myself in place , but it never worked for me as others said it should. Now I never use it nomore. would never buy another one.

But I have a Itaste VTR and Love that one and use it every day. I dont want to look inside of it though ;-).
