I remember when I first joined ECF there was a lot of talk about how these threads might be delicate/ prone to wear and some folk advocated using a heat sink to cut out wear on the threads direct.
I noted this, but when I started serious photography in the early 1980s L39 and M42 screw fit pre set camera lenses ere still common and I had a lot of experience using relatively delicate threads which I carried forward - fingers crosssed I've not cross threaded and atty - yet.
My phone baulks at macro, but here's the original 4+ year old istick 30W - I guess I've been lucky

The 30W has a stainless steel 510 thread (and a spring-loaded center pin), that's why it lasted you 4 years. My 30W threads are fine after all these years too because of this.
The original 20W istick had chromed brass threads and no spring-loaded pin.
Same ting with the Sigelei 30W, chromed brass threads. Except the Sig 30W is at least easy (somewhat) to put a SS 510 on and worth fixing IMHO, since it is an 18650 mod. So I did
Vapocalypse ready. 
I've got a 60 that comes in and out of rotation. I like that I can swap the panels.
I'm easy. What can I say.
haha. Memories, I remember stripping the threads on mine. Finally got the atty on and didn’t dare to take it off again. Top fill wasn’t common.
Trying to squeeze every last drop out of the tank before refill.
Dry hit city...

You could say I have a preferred combo - lol
Last winter in Spain with its hard floors, tiled terraces and outdoor cafe/bars was a hard one for the Old Brigade and two died in action when they hit the deck, but one warrior ( the only one I then had with armour plating) survived with only a minor nick ( pic 1 ), even when it got knocked of a ladder platform when I was painting a ceiling.
This year's Masterplan then became to equip all my Nauti Minis with latticed metal sleeves - the last one arrived yesterday and that's the set fully covered now.

Nice work there!
Thanks for the info about the chromed brass threads on the earlier iSticks I didn't know that as I came in with a 30W - that explains a lot.
Fielding the Reserve Team this week - first off a Zenith atop a Pico (85W) to back up the Mulus which is still behaving itself with Tigon Coils.
We will return to the point as the week progresses - but the eagle eyed may wish to note the gap between the Pico's battery cap and the Zenith!
As ever have a great day all!

Jammin' a bit last night, and planning to do more today. I sold Valeri and maybe Bonni as well, as well as finishing Josie (fingers crossed). Lots of test playing today. So up on my Fender Vaporizer (I think that's highly appropriate) is a PyroV3 on a copper CONSRVR mod, and a Wasp Nano RDTA on a badass Tesla Manhattan clone (voltage drop under 150mV).
Rocky Mountain (OK, High Plains) breakfast in real time.
Domino's cinnamon twist thingies from last night's pizza order, with some Solimo Dark Roast and some unflavored DIY in a Kanger Aite Tank on my RNV Pyra.

I put a FDV 510 on my 20W to fix the stripped threads.
20W kept running for a few years before the old "Too Hot" error sent it to the trash.
Back on my GR1 with some gold leaf Acapulco. So yummy!

Gorgeous Minikin Kodama. Have you checked out the Stabwood thread? Would love to see more of that mod on that thread and any others you have!!
