Tank is Scratching my Mod

[MilkDromeda]

I hope some of you can give me a tip with this one. I have the IPV D2 with a Kanger Subtank Mini, what I have noticed is that the tank is scratching the mod at the 510 connection. Now I know this is common or atleast I have seen it happen on a lot of mods, is there a solution? I thought of using a sticker of sorts to prevent this.

Hi @MilkDromeda

Check out this thread

 

[BhavZ]

clear vynl wrap cut to size is your best bet

 

[MilkDromeda]

Thanks @Riaz, exactly what I was looking for.

Will test a few materials and see what works best for me.

The IPV D2 has an adjustable screw inside the 510 connection. Just unscrew it far enough to leave a tiny space between your mod and atomizer.

 

[MilkDromeda]

As some reviewers stated the 510 connection is spring loaded but if you turn the screw you can strip the connection from the solder, how accurate this is I do not know.

Although why would it have the ability to turn the connection with a tool if it was not intended for this purpose.

Here a few pictures of the 510 connection in the IPV4s, supposedly the same or close to the IPV D2.

Pictures taken from this thread, post number #1778. I hope that is allowed.

I would not try adjust the 510 pin , it is spring loaded not meant to be adjusted.

This is what I did for a buddy of mine.. Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap.

SX Mini, excuse the mistake there.

@iPWN What I thought, going to go with the material method to prevent scratches.

@skola That looks awesome, where did you find the wrap, every time I wanted to buy some you need to buy in large quantities.

i just use the wide cellotape

This, I acquired from a friend of mine but you can find it at a China Mall. I see that you're in Cape Town but I'm sure there's a China Mall there? You can get a meter for like 20 bucks.

Ah, that is a good question. Was not even aware it was spring loaded. It is! Did turn the screw with good effect, but will now desist as a precautionary measure - thanks for confirming the risk @iPWN. I have some clear Vinyl somewhere - shall stick that on.

This is how I prevent scratches on my mod. I fit a rubber o-ring on the 510 thread then the tank doesn't screw down completely.

I tried using @Marzuq anti vandal disc but it was restricting my airflow a bit

Bru where have you been? That stuff came out like last month dude.. its basically old news now..

Have to start doing this - I'm not too pedantic about mod scratches but if they can be avoided, why not

I personally don't care about the scratches. The scratch will be 22mm, and your tank will cover it at all times. Unless you using a tank that's less than 22mm in diameter. So I don't care if I buy someone's mod with an atty scar

Yeah - seems some people really can't stand it though

I saw someone returned your evic vt coz of a scratch the scratch becomes invisible once you put your atty on lmao

So I phoned Maizys that stocks all sorts of products, I used them before when I needed perspex. They only sell in 1m by 1.3m pieces at R450+. I asked if they have off cuts but to no avail. So they gave me the number to a signage company that bought from them in this week and I phoned them and they had cut offs, went to collect it soon after. They were quite generous with the amount they gave me, did not pay a cent. See photos for results.

Thanks again for all the help.

I bought wrap at china town. They've by a huge variety of colors. It was R13 for 1x1m if I remember correctly lol.
