I'll be watching this... My battery "door" threading is stripped, I might learn something here. I hope someone can help, OP. Time for a new mod? Lol.

yea will be looking for another mod, but my ocd will not let me toss this one. I have to try and fix it fist. if that does not work then will be holding on to it for parts lol

as far as your threading, can you find a tap and die set that is big enough to re thread yours?

Not in my capabilities really, and I really don't need it. I just don't wanna toss it. Might try Teflon tape.

I have a black one that's stripped on the connection.....I moved on...vaporbeast would not honor warranty because it was three days pass there policy. Other than that it would be good for parts maybe.

that sucks. I have had mine for just over 16 months and have used it heavily. maybe try to get a 510 to 510 or a 510 to ego adapter and see if you can get that to thread in, if it does then you can just connect to the adapter

 

[Cloudy Peak Vapes]

Meh, I got it a while back used and really only use mechs, so it's not much of a concern. It's the battery threading, too, not the 510. I was gonna sell it, then the threads went. OP, you fix your button?

 

[vapefprlife321]

No, i have not fixed the button yet. have not found a way to remove the top cap with out damaging it.

Looks ALOT like a vamo in a different wrapper

I had to use one of the battery tubes on my vamo screwed onto the beauty ring threads and wiggle the top cap off, everything else inside slid out after top cap was no long pressed into the top

Gonna have to get something screwed into the 510 connector firmly then wiggle back and forth till the cap (see the line) starts coming loose
Vamo has the same button layout and the OLED screen

Once its out a 6mm momentary should solder right in

In fact...going over the review in the below...it even has the same options and display as the vamo

in the video the "System:ON" scrolls by just like the vamo

Thanks for making this thread....when I did strip my connection I ordered a 510 to 510 adapter, tried to thread it on and nothing...took another look and it appears I am a dumb-ass , there's a piece on the bottom of the adapter that unscrews off, tried it again and it worked. I now have a working Tesla. I am so happy I did not slam it to the wall
Thanks guys

very welcome Thomas, thats why we are here.... to help each other out

 

[vapefprlife321]

Thank you Warhawk-AVG I will try that when I get a chance

I finally took a hammer and screwdriver and got the top cap off. I did scratch it all up so will need to buff the hell out of it to get some of the scratches out. now all I need to do is get another switch to replace the bad one.

 

[Warhawk-AVG]

These should be the ones you need

I believe the ones on the board are SMD however, but you can bend those tabs out a bit and solder them down

 

[vapefprlife321]

Thank you for the link Warhawk-AVG that help, I was not 100% sure what switch to put back in

 

[vapefprlife321]

Well I bought a new switch for my tesla (came in a pack of 20). went to remove the board from the tube and I broke a coil off the board
so I am done with this tesla and will be buying another one.

Thanks for all the help with the dis-assembly and info on which switch to get. at least I will have spare parts if the next one breaks down
