Rock solid fix for stripped 510 on vtr

[ninjazx6e1]

I just wanted to share for all of you who have a stripped 510 on your vtr.

drill out the stock 510 connector ring
carefully grind down the raised ring under the original 510 connector
drill and tap hole with m10-1.0 tap
get a 510 v3 landing pad from fatdaddyvapes and a 22mm washer
solder the center pin of the 510 v3 onto the vtr fire wire and reinstall into the 510 v3 base
screw the 510 v3 w/22mm washer directly into the hole you tapped into the vtr

your vtr is now better than ever and will also now have rock solid right on ohm readings everytime

awesome fit with a protank 2 or 3 with airflow control valve

510 v3 and 22mm locking wasker from fatdaddyvapes - $7.00
m10-1.0 tap from local hardware - $6.00
and 1 hour of my time and i love my vtr better than the day it was new

So; there's something called a tap and die kit that I might be able to get in a hardware store!
Good to know.

can somebody tell me about numbers?
The first one says "Die stock: M25"
and the second one says '1" (M2.5)'
Is there anything in the second one that the 1st one doesn't already have?
All the taps and dies listed in the second one are already in the first one;
the only thing different in the second one that I'm not seeing in the first one is 1" (M2.5)

Interesting, but I'm not sure what the photos actually show? Welcome to the forum.
