where do i solder the negative on a 510 sealed battery connector?

[Catmau5]

i read you should solder it on the outside of the connector but it is not firing..

neg to the outside of the connector, pos to the center pin. make sure the center pins of the atty and batt connection are making contact.

Yeah anywhere on the outside is fine. If its not firing, you could have melted the insulator while soldering. Or another error somewhere in the mod

You can also solder the negative to the inside of the connector if you like. I have done both depending on the type of mod you are building. Then you can easily push the whole connector assembly into your mod with no obstructions. To make soldering a little easier, you can use .... end of a drill bit and push the center post out. You can also remove the silicon ring but it's a hassle to replace it. If you are new to this, I will offer one other bit of advice....get yourself some liquid flux or the paste from Radio Shack. It makes it so much easier. Good luck!

i believe madvapes, and others, sell pre-wired 510 connectors. just a thought.

Yea I ordered the connector from madvapes thinking I could do it on my own but I don't think that is a possibility. The mod will not work no matter what I do and I do not have a tester to see what is going wrong and then worse still I thought it might be my battery and went to plug them in my charger and my charger broke next lemony snickett is going to be writing of me instead of the Baudelaire kids!! So I have to wait until I get paid on wed and I'm just going to give it up for now and then order the plastic bolt from madvapes and then try again instead of pouring all my money into something that may not work. Thank you all for your replies and I shall be asking more questions another time!!!

I'd strongly recommend getting a multimeter before attempting more modding.

I shall look into that do you have any thoughts on the solar mod that teslahawk and big rob made? I desperately want one and would even pay someone to make it..
