Threads on 510 connector going bad

[Phone Guy]

So I've got 2 mods where the 510 threads are going bad and atomizers are starting to NOT catch anymore.

An SVD and an eVic.... I'm sure replacement "heads" not available? (Are they? )

What are my solution except buy new mods?

What I did on my Evic when I felt the threads getting a little loose was install an "air flow controller" , not for air control but to put something on the Evic that would not have to be taken off and protect the threads. I can now screw tanks on and off using the female threads of this item and not have to worry about the mod's threads. I now put them on any mod that has weak threads and just leave them on.

Or use a 510 to 510 adapter

This air flow controller is about 19mm or so in diameter(the exact diameter of the top of the top cap on the Evic). This will make it stable on top of the Evic and help stabilize the weak threads of the Evic. It also will give a bigger base for the tank to sit on than the standard 510 to 510 adapter. If you take the top piece off of this air flow controller it has male Ego cone threads for tanks like the mini Protank.

Another vote for airflow controller.
That's what I did on my svd.

Thanks... Thats what I was looking for. I have the straight 23mm cap on my eVic!! and that adapter is 19mm oh well.... looks like I may end up back to the tapered head

Another trick that works with the Evic is when you screw the air flow controller on the Evic and it bottoms out in the 510 connector is to turn the top cap of the Evic up to the bottom of the air flow controller to support it at the outermost part. That is what I did with my tanks on the Evic until I got the air flow controller and do the same now that I have the air flow controller on it. I do the same thing on my SID. This trick will work with any mod that that has a screw on top cap like that. I think the large tanks not screwing all the way down on the top of the mod is one thing that causes the threads to give up. That is a lot of weight on the little 510 connector that is trying to wobble around.
After you put on the air flow controller and screw the top cap up to it, then put your tank on the air flow controller and tighten it. If there is a space between the bottom of your tank and the air flow controller, you can screw the top section of the air flow controller up to the bottom of the tank to give it more support.
