Pin drip on eGo Twist

[Purplepeeps]

Hi,

I have one Twist that keeps dropping the pin. I have to pull it up to make a conection, with any of my smaller aspire tanks that don't have pins.

Can I remove the Twist pin and slide a O ring under it?. Don't want to pull the pin out if it will wreck or not go back in.

Thanks in advance!

The pin has a wire connected to it. With Joye eGos it is almost always the clearo center pin that comes up short. Most of them you can pull out easily with needle nose pliers or some that are slotted 'unscrew' with a screw driver.

There have been some o-ring fixes for batts.

Thank you for your help!

It worked like a charm!

It's a common problem, and not a new one. On many devices, the center/positive contact post on either or both of the connector halves gets pushed in a bit or doesn't protrude far enough to make electrical contact. In the old days, we used to fix this with staples. With some creative bending of a small staple one could ensure there was contact.

Nowadays, there are circuit spacers--sold by MadVape--that work much better than our staple mod and are much more elegant. And require no tinkering; no pin pulling, no o-rings, no sweat. Just drop one onto the center pin of your battery's 510 post and it will ensure proper contact with any atomizer you screw onto it!

Circuit Board Spacer

I have an MVP 2 that wouldn't play nice with certain toppers and those spacers solved the problem. Madvapes has a coupon code: ECF5OFF.

Katya,
Thanks for the tip on the circuit board space. Rather ingenious idea.
