BigClouds1021 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 So I was vaping in my castle RDA today, and then all of a sudden it stopped firing. Then I went to unscrew it to check it out and it slid right out without unscrewing. When I looked at it I found out that the insulator and connection had came apart from the cover. Does anyone know what I can use to reconnect it to my atty? Here r a couple pics The shelve just slid off of the 510 connection. So I guess I just need a bonding agent that is heat resistant. This is my authentic Castle RDA so I would like to fix it if possible. Thanks for your help guys and girl. Vape on!!!
Richstag Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Dang man, if thats authentic I don't see why you should be fixing it. Thats not what I like to see. That makes it look like its just a pressed fit??
Richstag Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Maybe you could make your own and tap out the atty and thread up a 510 connecter. Tap and die kit. IDK otherwise.
Earthling789 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 It looks like that is press-fit. You'll need to flare the head of the threaded piece and re-press it, OR weld or solder that with a conductive material... JB-Weld won't work as it is a horrible conductor of electricity, and you need to conduct electricity up those threads to the body. That is your ground from your battery. No conductivity = no coil firing....
BigClouds1021 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 I guess I could try flaring and repressing it if that doesn't work, I will have to go get me a new soldering rod. I lost my other one in my last move. Thanks Richstag and Earthling. If anyone has another suggestion, I would love to hear it.
BigClouds1021 Posted July 2, 2014 Author Posted July 2, 2014 If does suck that I'm having to fix my $100 RDA, after only having it for about 3-4months.
Compenstine Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I would email the manufacturer and see if they will replace the base.
mvince201 Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Agree with comp, e-mail the manufacturer and get a replacement.
BigClouds1021 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 They said since I've had the RDA for a month, it's no longer under warranty. I think a $100 RDA should have a little better warranty than that. So if ur going to buy a vape smith product , u should know they will only stand behind their product for a month.
BigClouds1021 Posted July 5, 2014 Author Posted July 5, 2014 I was able to flare the sleeve and get if back on the pin and insulator. Thanks to y'all fir the help. No thanks to vape smith for sucking.
