Why are there endless threads about them breaking. Centerpost spinning, shoddy millwork, peeling metals, bad screws, bad threads, janky 510's, bad rubber, broken insulators. The list is endless. I think the one thing everyone agrees on is that they are CHEAP.
Hi all, just got home from work and my new Orchid V4 was here waiting on me.
Kinda excited ok, thing is I started building coils for it using 28g wire.
Here the problem, I cant seem to loosen up the four screws on the post.
Are these normal threads or reverse threads?
Cant install new coils till I can loosen up those freaking screws lol.
Thanks, normally I never have such problems.

Hey, i just wanted to say how helpful old threads are. I've been looking everywhere for grub screws for my Zeus X rta. 2 mins on here and found them in a 2 year old thread. Thanks ECF and members problem solved
All the videos on the KBOX complained about the irritating threads (like fingernails on a chalkboard) for the battery compartment, so I lubed mine when I got it with the lube I use for my flashlight's threads - SuperLube, and it's been great! Very smooth, feels very good to unscrew/screw.
Just wondering if others do this, and if it's bad to do for some reason. If it's not bad (like flashlights), then I highly recommend doing it! Make a HUGE difference in usability and enjoyment!
Hello all, I just bought the Ageis X. Owned the Ageis legend and I'm in love with GeekVape.
My Smok mods were pure crap. Alien 220, battery door issue. G-Prev , 510 connector ended up doing the endless spinning when screwing on a tank.
So, to my question, the Ageis X says it has an updated As 2.0 chip. I googled it and can't find info on this chipset. Anyone have any info on this? Google DNA chipset and you get a billion such pages worth of information.
Has anyone tried to sand down their screws that screw into their RDA posts?
If I sand mine down, do you think i will be able to still screw it in or will the threads be messed up
Has anyone else had their iclears breaking? Mine break less than a week after buying them. The first thing to go is the tip which swells and gets soft at the bottom where is seals with the white rubber cap. After that the plastic tube breaks where it is attached to the metal. I just placed some epoxy around the joint where it breaks apart. I have just tried a solution but would like to hear others experiences with these. Has anyone else had them break so soon?
Good tip for you guys without magnetic back plates on box mods. Throw those crappy screws away!
Most plates are beveled to fit snug to the main body. Instead of having to unscrew those tiny little screws find yourself a rubber wrist bracelet and wrap it around your mod. So simple but very effective. They practically give those things away so it shouldn't be too hard to find one. Or you could buy one.
Try it out! I promise you will love it
All of the sudden I wake up today and notice my 510 threading on my sigelei 50w box mod is jacked up. I cleaned the threads on my subtank mini and on my sigelei mod. I then tried screwing it onto my mod and now no matter what I try , there's a gap between the top of the mod and the bottom of the subtank (it's not screwing down all the way and has about a 3mm gap, hence now it won't fire...
I screwed my subtank onto my ileaf 30w and screws in flawlessly, so it's the sigelei threads ...
but I did pay a lot for my sigelei and prefer its hits , I dunno, I usually Vape about 16W on my sigelei And not sure how that translates over to what wattage I should run the eleaf at ?
Also, I just noticed that my spare RDAs will still screw onto my sigelei well..I'm so confused what's up !!!!
Hi,
Threads are going to stick, it's a fact of life. Here's a fix that works.
You'll need 1) thin rubberized gloves 2) two pairs of pliers (with curved jaws, not straight) and 3) 220 grit sandpaper for metal
The steps are;
1) buy a pair of small-sized mechanic or garden gloves. The ones with rubber over fabric
2) cut off one inch of the finger tips (off the gloves, not your fingers)
3) slide the tips over the jaws of your pliers
4) put the pliers on either side and twist; righty-tighty, lefty-loosey (unless you have backward threads, usually not)
A couple things I found that improve it even more;
1) used sandpaper to smooth the sharp ridges on the pliers; wrap the sandpaper around a pencil till it fits the curvature of the ridges, I put the pencil in a drill and made quick work of it. They won't cut through the gloves so easily.
2) gently sand the tops of the threads on your tank, rough areas here sometimes cause the sticking. Don't sand much, just till they feel smooth.
it works, I Gar-on-tee it.
Just curious....I love the clone/ authentic threads. People get pretty "passionate" about what other people choose to spend their money on....its kinda crazy.
I was just curious if anyone ever changed their stance on buying or not buying clones after reading one of the thousands of angry debates about clones vs. authentics.
My stance has remained steady since the beginning. I still don't care what you use.
