I have no idea. I tried the same thing. I wanted to make a holder for screwing 510 Fluxos and Phoenix into for pulling tubes off and reassembling. I don't like doing it on my Provari; so I've been using an old 808 cig battery with an 808/510 adaptor.

I have a bunch of dead 510 stick batteries from "the old days" that I use for things like that. They're finally good for something. :)

I know this question is totally off topc, but figured my esteemed colleagues here would know.
What is the thread diameter and thread pitch for a 510 and ego ?

I took my phoenix and ego batt to Home Depot, and couldnt find anything to screw on either?

Any thoughts?


510 threads are 7 mm x .5mm

The Depot has a "Thread Checker" little guage in their hardware section but alas, nothing seems to fit it...
Leave it to the Chinese to come up with a proprietary size and thread....:confused:

It's the only way they can survive. I'd a thought some machinist would have measured it and made some "accessories" and tooling for it. Copycatting is fair game, right?

Can anyone tell me if this looks like an 808 connection? (I wouldn't know, if I saw it)

Let me look at a 801, nope it looks a little bigger, must be a 808

Thanx my friend....

Danno:
Can we confirm if the new "Reborn" Phoenix XL's has a sealed 510 connection as shown in Chris's OP:

The reason I ask is because I just received these 808's (apparently) and they dont seem to incorporate the sealed connection. Keep in mind I know nothing about 808, but if this is a Reborn 808:

Wouldn't it also be a sealed connection? Just asking is all....


I was under the impression a 808 connection was male threaded like a 510, but slightly larger..
I guess this is not the case...

808 is male on the battery, female on the delivery system. That looks exactly like the 808s I got yesterday. I have a suspicion that these are the older style, but they still work great! Ordered Friday afternoon and got 'em yesterday! Great service!


Thanx awsum for the clairification. Mine were received in error as all my stuff is 510, but EVERYONE makes mistakes, and I'm not upset. GV ALWAYS makes good, and thats why I do business with them.

If however, the 510's are not sealed, as shown in Chris's OP, then I must reconsider their purchase, as I have plenty of old school in reserve. I was counting on the sealed connection, among other improvements.....
