My new Joye 306 atty stuck in its protective cap.

[bushmaster]

I was breaking out a new Joye 306 and when I attempted to pull off the brown protective cap, the external case of the atty stayed lodged in the cap and the innards of the atty was all that came out. Bummer! It seems to have worked out okay though. I used a small screwdriver to tap the case loose from the inside of the protective cap(I had to cut the end off the brown cap). I inspected the exposed wiring on the atty and it seemed okay, so I pressed it back together. Checked it with the multimeter and it read good, so I'm vaping on it now. All is well. I had one stick in the drip tip before and that ended up being a total loss. First time I've had one lodged and come apart in the original factory cap.

The Chinese...they don't like us. Im glad you got it repaired.

Gil, I actually threw it in the garbage when I saw that it had been......eviscerated. Then I thought it might be worth the effort to try to save it, so I dug around and fished it back out. Glad I did. Attys don't grow on trees, ya know.

I often use Gorrilla glue to fix them when i break them like that just a tiny bit will do and it holds real well

Thanks, Darrel! I thought I was the only unlucky soul to experience this. I'll have the Gorilla Glue on hand when it happens again. Good heads-up.

Ive done many that way drop them and they break apart Ive broken more than Ive had die on me so i started to think i needed to find a way to fix them I tried using a punch on the side to kinda dent the 2 parts together but that didn't work so glue was next seeing as the juice isn't in contact with that part I figured it was ok. Ive had no Ill affects from it

I've pulled a few apart. It seems I like to jam my drip tips on too tight sometime.

I pulled apart a Cisco 306 last week by mistake. She's still working but a little crooked.

Have to give the gorilla glue a try, thanks Darrel

Give it a bit of a crimp before the glue dries. Just don't soak it to clean it. Might dissolve the glue. PGA vs gorilla glue. I have some testing to do.
