I was rockin a vivi nova and a 510 adapter thingy on my lava tube when i dropped it. The 510 adapter was stuck in my mod sideways. magically i got it to snap dwn and I thought all was good. However now my 510 slides out of my lavatube effortlessly, and i've come to the conclusion that my threads were striped... does anyone know of a poor mans fix for this problem? Or am I .....ed and have to buy another mod.

What is stripped?
Is the connector on the cartomizer or the female on the lava-tube?
If its the lava tube you are FU61ED but if not, It's all good, Just buy a new carto.
Oh and WELCOME.

I'm a noob at this stuff, the threads on the lavatube(young june 2.0) are worn out after me forcing my adapter into place after the drop.
sorry to bump an old thread, but there is a fix for stripped 501 connectors that I discovered as I stripped my last GV Splitfire and needed a way to use it...
I wrap the stripped thread with teflon tape which creates a temporary thread so that the top end part of it screws in for some stability. It's not 100% stable, but it works as a temporary fix while you get some new tanks.

Small amount of cyanoacrylate (SuperGlue) on the stripped threads and glue it back into place as a temporary fix?
If you're going that far might as well buy a new connector from madvapes.

well, teflon tape is readily available at home improvement stores all over, and it's a 30 second fix. Extended my last splitfire before reinforcements arrived today (thank god).
just had this stripping problem w/lava-tube, I just squeezed the end w/threads with a pair of needle-nose pliers and was back in action.
Anybody know if you can make a SmokTech dual coil 1.5 OHm tank/cartomizer work on a 1st gen lava tube?
If not is there an adapter that can be used??
Thanks all!!

Bummer...feelin' your pain. If it happens to me, I'm online ordering something new, hallelujah! "Honey, I have to, my other one broke." 
. Or, as I like to call it, a blessing in disguise. Best of luck, happy shopping and Vape On!

I'm pretty sure the threads are half of the electrical circuit (likely the ground). Now i've never tried to pass electricity through teflon tape, but i dont really see it being conductive.
