New ECF member, K100 thread issues.

[jamespcrew]

I've browsed ECF quite a bit for information before registering just now and I went to the "General Technical Problems" sub-forum to inquire about my problem, but I can't create a thread because I don't have enough posts required. I figure I'll just state my problem here.

I started vaping with an eGo C-Twist battery, like many others, and a while ago decided to get my first mechanical mod, a K100. Everything was fine at first, until I ran into a problem with my Protank 2 that I used on it. The Protank 2 came with a messed up bottom cap that had less than desirable threading causing my K100 threads to become messed up. The retail location was kind enough to replace my bottom cap and my issues were solved until I noticed that my K100 510 threads were messed up. I can no longer reliably screw anything onto my mod without it being loose and or/ lopsided.

I was wondering if there is anybody or any site that has replacement K100 parts? I understand that everything is press-fit on a K100 and that I can knock out the top cap of my K100 and put in a properly functioning top cap if acquired. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Yes, ECF requires 5 posts as a spam prevention. You don't have to make dummy posts! Introduce yourself, ask questions, or join any conversation in progress in the New Members Forum.

Welcome to ECF.

Yeah, I have may have titled my thread incorrectly haha. Definitely really want to solve my K100 thread issue, but my thread title seems like I'm just confused about the New Members Forum. Dangit.

Where have you bought your K100? Have you tried Hoosiers, Discount Vapors, Gotvapes? I believe they all carry the mod... I may be mistaken, though--I don't own one.

 

[jamespcrew]

Yeah, I've tried all major e-cigarette vendors I could think of. I purchased mine at a retail location and, unfortunately, they don't cover my problem because it is believed to be user-error. I baby the heck out of expensive things and I promise my problem wasn't due to misuse of the product.

HoosierVapes has the K100 and K101 mods for as cheap as I've seen them online, but I was hoping I didn't have to resort to purchasing a brand new device to solve my problem. Thanks for your help, it's late here in California and I appreciate you responding.

I saw a FS ad on the local Craigslist for a K101 + Trident RDA for $40, so maybe I will end up going that route if I have to buy the entire mod. I figure I might as well get an RDA and some more spare parts out of the purchase.

For what a K100 is and what it costs the only way to get parts for one is to buy another K100. I'm not aware of any place selling individual replacement parts.

 

[Katya]

You could try to contact these guys:

Mod / Ecig General Repairs

Send them an email and ask if they can help and how much that would cost. I've heard good things about them.

Just a thought, but you might try to get a 510 to 510 adapter, get it seated onto the k100 and superglue it in place... Might solve the wobbly problem, might not... But, since the K100 is buggered up anyway what's to lose?

 

[hypeflyadvertising]

The C Twist is a good one to start off with I suggest you upgrade to a mechanical mod now.

 

[jamespcrew]

Huh? A while ago I started with eGo C-Twists. I then moved to my K100, which IS a mechanical mod. This thread is about how my threads got messed up.

Worked on my Vamo after I buggered up the threads from having it drop 4' to a tiled floor from my shirt pocket... A couple drops of superglue onto the 510 adapter solved the prob nicely...

That was a spammer that made that comment my friend, the whole reason why there's a limit on where new people can post when they join up now. Imagine that type of automated commenting everywhere
Sucks that it's the newbies that have to suffer the spammers the most though...

I don't know about your K100, have you reposted in other sub-forums since you can now?

I changed your thread title for you.
