Using 510 Adapter on a Mechanical mod! Be careful!

[StrappedKaos]

Hello all,

I would like to share some advice for anyone that is using a 510 adapter to save threads on a mech mod, since clones are becoming more popular and people are using adaptors/ air-flow controllers to prolong the thread life this is a vital thing to remember.
UNSCREW THE MOD SO THE BATTERY IS NOT IN CONTACT OR TAKE OUT THE BATTERY BEFORE SCREWING IN THE ADAPTOR WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR tank/rda/rba WHAT HAVE YOU CONNECTED. IF YOU LEAVE THE BATTERY IN AND IT SETUP UP AS READY TO VAPE YOU CAN CAUSE A SHORT WHILE SCREWING IN ADAPTOR.
I unscrew the bottom cap a little so battery is not contacting the adjustable/floating pin and screw in the adaptor then screw the bottom cap on which will adjust the pin and will not allow a short or at least help with the short. reason why I tell all is that I did it twice and both times I screw in the adaptor I felt the center section of mod get hot fast...I know thank god I was paying attention or could have been bad and want to help others understand how dangerous it can be! vape on everyone, Strapped!

^ whats that supposed to mean?

Trying to prevent damage to mods and people that might not be aware this can happen, I figured some would find it useful.... not everyone was vaping before it was cool.

A functional mechanical mod and 510 adapter should not be shorting out by just screwing on the adapter. That's not how it works, without an atty attached, it should be an open circuit, especially with the switch not pressed.

You have defective gear, either the mod or adapter.
