ProTank2 floating pin problem

Hello!

I recently downgraded myself to using my old ProTank2 and istick 20W from some of my harder-hitting mods. (It's a long story).

Anyway, the problem I'm facing has to do with the protruding 510 connector on the bottom of the tank. I can physically push it down before screwing back in the coil head so it sticks out nice and far. But by the time I connect it to the iStick, it pushes it's way back up so that I'm not getting a connection. On a few tries, I've been able to just ever-so-lightly screw the tank onto the mod and I get a connection for a bit -- but any reasonable use (setting it down, adjusting airflow, etc.) knocks the pin back up and I lose connection.

The only reasonable fix I can think of is some way to force the pin to stay down. I'm not sure if this is a superglue fix (maybe dab some around the pin so it holds in place?). Any other ideas out there on how to keep this .... in place?

Many thanks.

Your pin is broken. Instead of fighting it, I suggest you buy one of the new airflow control valves and just replace it:

Kanger Air Flow control Valve Base Replacements

Any one of them will work and will improve the airflow in your ProTank 2, converting it into an Aerotank. Win-win.

Good luck!
