Really upset iatty wont thread into stealth or ss ggts

[AdamAnd]

Just got home from shopping with my kids I have two iatty,s and they were working just great until an hour ago they now thread loosely into the stealgh and the ss ggts if I take apart a collection tank from the ss ggts it threads right in I think the the brass threads are softer and have I don't know I go away on business this coming Thursday for a week and I don't know what to do please help any ideas would be greatly apoericated thanks

So it won't thread into the stealth at all?

And on the SSGGTS are you using adapters or do you thread it directly into the connector cap without the collector tank?

Yes using the adapters

 

[AdamAnd]

It seems like it is loose not threading like its to small I can't understand it at all

 

[AdamAnd]

If I stripped the threads on two iattys is what I am thinking

 

[raceengine]

I think you've stripped the threads on the brass stealth connector and also the 910-510 adaptor on the ssggts since it can thread nicely if you remove the adaptor and collector tank on your ssggts

That's what I was thinking I think this is getting really expensive I wish all the parts where stainless steal

 

[AdamAnd]

Just tried with another adapter and it screws in loose as well I am thinking its the iatty threads?

I don't really know the toughness of brass so I can't comment on the stealth cap but I do know my iAtty tore through 2 510 adapters and an aluminum connector cap. Because of this when I use my iAtty on my stealth I bairly tighten it down and on my SSGGTS I just keep buying adapters. However I would say the best way to test the threads on the iAtty would be to try to thread it onto the SS connector cap directly. Remove the collector tank and adapters pull the connector cap off the ggts and see if the iAtty threads on. If it does then more then likely it is the adapters and your stealth cap.
Like this

 

[AdamAnd]

Yes did that and it works great but to airy

 

[AdamAnd]

So u think I stripped the adapter and my stealh threads I hope not just got the steakh

If it threads like that then more then likely your stealth cap and your adapters are stripped. Like I said I have gone through 2 adapters and am on my third. I buy them at MadVapes.

Also I have found that this 3rd is lasting the longest of all my adapters but I think the reason why is because I almost never take it off the iatty. Instead I screw the 901 to 510 adapter onto the iatty then the 901 rethreader onto the adapter then I screw the whole thing onto the GGTS when I remove it usually the adapter stays on and the rethreader is the only thing that comes unscrewed.

Thanks for the heads up on the stealth cap I will have to remember to be extra careful with it in the future.

 

[AdamAnd]

No problem I should test everything because I seem to have bad luck with these things I hope I can get a old of a new stealh cap by Wednesday or its going to be trip

 

[ChaosAffect]

One I could see, but both at the same time? Seems like it might be a PICNIC problem, bro. Can you give us pics of the threads?

 

[AdamAnd]

I will try toget some pics later but I have to make dinner know for my kids thanks everyone

Brass is relatively soft compared to the SS threads on the iAtty. When putting an iAtty on the stealth, you should loosen the center pin first, then screw on the iAtty until it is snug on the Stealth cap. then tighten the center pin of the stealth until it is snug as well.

Yes indeed, the iatty strips everything. I just use 510 to 510 adapters on my SSGGTS, been through about 6 of those. When you get another adapter, remove the top brass piece if the GG, screw in the adapter to the connector, and attach the iatty. You'll still have your CR there for air flow. Works great, plus you only ruin adapters, keep plenty on hand.

We had a long discussion about it when it first came out; encouraging caution because the steel threads on the Iatty will "win" every time. I recall a few folks crossthreaded their Provari and stripped it bad.

on a provari? ouch! that's gotta hurt

 

[silentt]

yes those iatty threads are the manliest threads ever, no connector stands a chance.
