Worn threads

[mightymen]

Wrap 1/8 inch wide piece of aluminum foil around male connector of your tank or carto than screw it into your device.

Don't cover or touch the center pin.

Leave the aluminum foil in the device.

Should work with anything that has a male and female connection not only tanks.

Nice advice, will try as a temporary fix.

Any pointers for long term fix?

Liveformoment -- For a longer fix, you might try threaded inserts. There are several types and a Google search will set you upon your journey. I have not used them for the PV's as yet, but I have used them on engines, other machinery, and on R/C planes, with great success. I have not taken the time to research to make sure there is a size for the PV's, but I don't think it would take to long to figure that out.
Short of that you may be able to replace the end of your device depending on what you have.
Hope this helped and Happy Holidays......

I spent a little time searching when the threads on my Vamo were going out (They were wonky from the start) with no success.

That's what I ended up doing.
