Prodigy V2 adapter fell apart, Anyway to fix this?

[maf2k8]

Went to screw on my 510 atty this morning and it kept turning and turning and turning...Took the adapter off and noticed, HEY! The brass fitting is no longer sealed into the stainless adapter housing!

Pics below...

Anyway to fix this? I already put in a ticket.

What bothers me is i just mailed out some items BACK to PS, if i would have waited about another hour, i could have tossed this in the package also.

Im not sure but it looks like it was a press fit.

about 2 weeks but havent used the 510 adapter ( i normally drip on 801 ) but i started using the 510 as of yesterday because i wanted to give it a try with the V2, all was fine all day yesterday, then this morning i wake up, screw on the atty and it kept spinning.

So the adapter itself, is about 1 day old from when i started using it.

That happened to me with my 801, so I tapped it with a hammer and that fixed it for a couple hours. But I already contacted casey and will be sending this back for repair.

I just orderd a V2 a couple days ago.
seems Steve will go out of his way to make things good for ya.
at least you can still use it

I cant use mine, it completely fell apart. I might try tapping it back in to see what happens. Luckily i have my 801 and 901

I think on one of thier "how to" videos they show acouple with the same problem, stating they get tons back like this from overtighting.

Yeah i seen a video like that but i think that was about the atty ripping apart, not the actual adapter coming apart. and in order to get my 510 attys to fire up, i had to tighten them down regardless.

I had the same issue on a 510 Protege adapter. It still works with the centre in loosely.

I was going to send it in, but it seems to have fixed itself and it stays in the SS housing. Don't know how it fixed itself, it just did

I can say though, it worked fine once applied but getting the atty screwed on required me to take the adapter cap off, apply the atty, and screw adapter cap back on.

yeah mine did seem to work for a short time ( 20 mins ) while it was like that, though the atty/cart would spin around sometimes. Then it just stopped all together, plus if juice ever did gather up in the well/adapter area ( though i always keep mine clean ) , it would leak down onto the switch and that would be a mess and another problem all together.

Looking at mods these problems common?

Well i think its more of "A few bad adapters slipped out the door" then it is a problem.

While I know most will just return it,you can place just a bit of solder on the rim of the stainless using Stay-Bright solder and flux ,it will tighten the hole to hold the brass. You could add just a touch,fast like,to the brass just where the stainless rim rides but do not overheat that plastic center pin. Hope this helps. Welder
