Need Help with Mod Build - Altoids Box

[Von Khoe]

I'm going to attempt to build a mod using an altoids box. How does the 510 connector attach to the tin securely enough to not pull out when you tighten or loosen the atty?

Sweat the sodder on perfect connection, expoxy will eventually crack from the torque caused by you screwing the tank on.

I can't really describe how to sweat sodder on so here's a video on how to do it,
