Smok Zmax Mini Repair Question...

[batmanbob31]

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and I hope I posted this in the right area... if not please forgive me.

So I have been vaping for a month or two now and I have been using a Ego-Ctwist and a kangertech Pro tank 3 and love it.

Today a buddy of mine gave me his broken Zmax and I fixed it.

The threaded part where the Atty screws in was loose and hanging on by a wire so I used super glue to hold it in place, the glue I used is rated for 200 degrees f.

Am I at any risk of fire here? I held my hand to the area I glued and didnt feel any heat but I dont know much about all this and figured it would be a good idea to ask....


The first pic is the part I fixed and the second pic is just the zmax.

Thanks,
Bob

i could see that part getting over 200 degrees F with long periods of use.. you would feel the device get pretty warm before it reached that temperature however

Good old Smok quality. They make nice cartos, though.

Your repair will probably work. Good idea to roughen the metal surfaces with sandpaper and clean with alcohol before applying the epoxy. Good job!

Thanks for the fast replies guys, so you think my fix will work long term?

hard to say depends on the weight of atomizer on top of the repaired connection. just be really careful with it and it should last for quite a while.

Just be careful about inhaling fumes from the cured SuperGlue if it heats up. Epoxy may have been a better choice. There are food grade epoxies available.
