So my mod is...broken?

Hi guys, brand new here cause I need a little help. I’m pretty new to vaping and given current money constraints I bought myself a cute little mod. Nothing fancy, I think I paid $40 at the shop for it.

Now a few days ago I dropped it off the edge of the deck here at work and it hit the dirt, upon inspection it looked fine and it vaped fine so I didn’t think anything of it.

About two days ago I noticed my tank was no longer sitting flush with the mod. (Forgive me if I’m getting any terminology wrong here) now the part the tank screws into was no longer pushed all the way down but my boyfriend told me to be careful with it and it should be fine. It was very stuck tight at the time.

Today I went to use it, realized it was dead. Cursed under my breath and plugged it in while we drove to work. The thing looked fine. Upon getting to work I threw it in my bag and walked inside, pulled it out and went to go step outside for a quick break and then realized the part that was no longer flush was sticking WAY out and when I grabbed the tank it popped right off. Now that piece is stuck to the bottom of the tank and it isn’t gonna go back into the mod without some real force to it.

Can this be fixed? Is it permanent broken? I have no idea what to do and I’m on a 9 hour shift with no nicotine. Send help!!!

It looks like the 510 has separated and if you try and fix it be 100% sure it is Powered Off or the batteries have been remove.

A little more info like what MOD it is will help.

It looks like a Priv V8 kit. Yeah you popped the 510 connector off. I've never done that to any of my mods.

Is it fixable?
Not really.
If you know what you’re doing you can completely replace it. But, by the time you ordered a new 510; and, did the work, you may as well replace it with something better.
I would look into something else.

What do you normally vape at?

Sometimes it can be. If you can take a rag or towel and some pliers to get the 510 connection off the bottom of the tank. Then maybe reinsert the connector piece. Not sure if you can super glue it back in to stabilize it or if that just plain wouldnt work.

First you need to remove the piece of the 510 from the tank and carefully reinstall it in the MOD either press fit or use an Epoxy to hold it in place.
Man I hope I can at least get it usable by the end of this shift. Today isn’t going well and no nic is driving me insane. I’ll try that out!

Uhh... whatever this one is by default lol after a google search it looks like 60W.

I hit off my boyfriends frequently though that is set at 90-100

Looks to me like that part was simply press fit into the mod; don't see any threads or such. Remove it from the bottom of the tank, align and push it down in place, and then tap it securely to seat it firmly into place. Be gentle with it after that since the problem will reoccur more easily the next time.

Yeah there are no threads. If I can get the 510 piece to come off the tank I’ll try to fit it back

I'm with @scalewiz, it definitely looks like it was press fit.
If you get it off the tank you should be able to press it back in.

Like @jwill said JB Weld or JB Steel Weld. I have personally used it to repair damage to an Engine Block and was able to machine it smooth and put a new head gasket. That vehicle ran for years.

This is PRECISELY why anyone who's vaping in order to quit smoking or stay quit really must have more than 1 mod and atomizer -- actually backups for your backups' backup is a much better idea. Because these gadgets are held and carried all day everyday, humans are clumsy and prone to mishaps, and these things are very cheaply made -- do you really want to go back to smoking just because your only mod broke? I definitely don't, and that's why I have a couple dozen mods, and several attys that I like. Cigarettes can be bought all over the damn place... vape mods, not so much, but even if you have a store or 10 handy, they cost at least twice as much in a store as they cost online.

Holy heck guys! I went into the shop today to get a new vape and was talking to the guy about what happened to mine, and he asked how long ago i bought it. I said 2-3 weeks. He gave me a great discount on a Smok E-priv. Theyre $100 at the shop, he gave me that and then a new set of batteries for $80. Which is a little over $40 off I think? Woo! :D

This is the vape:

Nah, we actually gave the other one to the guy at the shop so he could scavenge it for parts. Figured it was the least they could do for giving me $45 off. That's more than I even paid for the vape LOL

OK so basically you got full Credit. That would work for me~!

Yeah! He was just gonna let us walk out with it and we looked at each other and went “dude that doesn’t make sense, do you guys take these and gut these for parts?” He was like oh yeah.

Didn’t make sense to get credit for it (when I did drop the vape which caused the break) and walk out with it. The guy was super cool too and added us on PlayStation while we were there chatting about games. Great store man
