Sometimes battered threads can be saved if they are not too badly battered...........

Screw in with force and use lots of eliquid as lubricant and unscrew with needed force and screw back in and out again a few times......

worth a try and using the 4 screw driver idea mite work too.........

We are in dire need of precious ejuices over here as we will be experiencing ejuice drought from the 15th Dec and hottest temperature over 1st Jan 16.. I would not recommend ejuice as lubricant.. :w00t:

If you do not want to use ejuice as a lubricant you can try a few drops of cooking oil just enough to keep the threads from being dry when trying to

restore the damaged threads........

Understood.. ur advise is for thread which may have been damaged.. but lubricating it and screwing in with force could help to restore the damaged thread. :thumb::thumb:
Appreciate it man.

Thread starter kindly take note. @ ity1098

You are talking about the treads inside or outside?


Sent from my lovely vape heaven

The treads on the connector is spoil. The part where we screw into our mod

Also, the female connector which the shaft will fit is also gone. Cant get a clear shot on the interior

Yes I would be careful not to ruin the female threads on your mod with this atomizer------get another base for the atomizer or get another atomizer and

put this damaged one in trash-----or get a cheap box mod or tube mod and screw damaged atomizer on and off as needed-----and if you damage the threads

on the cheap mod then you won't feel too bad.......just some ideas........

Get a heatsink and use the heatsink to screw into your mod. That should prevent the mod from stripping.

This idea of yours is very good never thought of that----you could also use one of those 510 to 510 ego connectors that come with some of the mods.....
