Suggestions for keeping the head from stipping

[bingo6104]

Since I have been making my own juices i have been swapping out heads a lot.I do have a twist i have been using but i mainly use my eVic. What suggestions do you guys have for a adapter to go on the eVic? Even if it is air control it wouldn't matter. I just don't want the threads to get stripped out. Thats a costly replacement

I've had my first gen evic for 9 months and swapped out a lot of tanks, etc. The threads on my evic are still fine. I don't over or under tighten.

Tank Airflow Controller

That is what I was thinking to use. What are you using with it? Does it do well controlling the air?

I use mostly pro-tanks, and the cig-tech clone tatroe tank, and it does a good job at air flow, but I mainly use it for a thread protector. Here is where I got mine at, their discription is weird, but its the same thing. (In stock)

DCT Tank Airflow Controller - Cartomizer / Clearomizer

I swap constantly. Mostly Ego threaded devices though. I use a Tank support to avoid over tightening with 510 devices.

I bought and use two of those airflow controllers ontop of each other (second is really just for asthetics and give more weight that balances the device in my lanyard more comfortably. Love em, no fears w/ stripping and there is a nice bonus with these. There is a part ontop thats also threaded, and can be screwed up and down to raise the height of the adapter. I'm finding it useful for my genesis, since I like to tilt it at a specific angle w/ my device, and with this I screw in my tank until it starts tightning, screw it in further until I have the air hole almost where I want it, raise that adapter's screw till it touches, then give one last tighten on the tank to secure it in place against the threads & adapter.

Can you post a picture of your set up?

Sure, I assume you're asking to see the adapters at work.



There are TWO of the same adapters here, one ontop of the other, each composed of a thicker base and a shorter top that screws in. As you can see, the lower adapter had the top unscrewed (raised) a little bit. I just thought it looked cooler. With the top adapter at it's shortest length, you can see a gap between the tank and the adapter.

Here is what it looks like when I unscrew the top adapter's top to meet the height of the tank, which is screwed "almost" in place where I wanted it aligned (in my case, air hole facing opposite of the vape button), then the tank tightened slightly to secure it in place against the adapter. (it looks cooler with the igo-l, which has a more streamlined industrial look and is the same width where the aga-t2 is wider)

Thats it, the only catch with making contact between the tank and the adapter, in my experience, has been with my protanks, if they touch the adapter, it reduces the air flow since it comes in through the bottom, though it can also be setup like the first picture so they do not touch if desired.

Oh yea, the other reason for two adapters, when the device is in my lanyard, the two combined adapters raises the tank high enough so it's air hole is exposed above the lanyard instead of resting hidden against the back of the holster, which was another reason for me to add two. Keep in mind, they add a reasonable amount of top heavy weight to the device, which is why I didn't go stacking 20 of them into some kind monstrosity.

You can use the eCa top cap if you want it flush with the Aga-T2... I use the black one when my eVic is in shorty mode...

Awesome thanks for the pics!

I just bought three, one for my eVic, one for Provari, one spare for a mod I'm working on...

I bought it from Indy Vapors
