Can I put a top cap from one mod on another?

[davidos]

I have a nemisis mod and a sentinel m16 mod and my sentinel mods top cap was stripped and I was wondering if I could put my nemisis top cap on my sentinel

if the threads are the same, there is no reason why you couldn't.

You can try, it might work

As long as the threading is the same, then sure. I know the Nemesis has .5 threading, but I don't know what the sentinel is. The nemesis top cap has very fine threads... literally twice the amount as regular mods. I would look at the threads and see if they are the same.

Alright thanks

There's more to it than just the threading. The thickness of the cap and length of the tube come into play as well. For instance, if your Nemesis cap extends 1/4 inch farther into your tube than the Sentinel cap did then your battery may not fit inside. Alternatively, if your Sentinel cap extended 1/4 inch farther into your tube than the Nemesis cap does your battery will not make contact on both ends.

As far as CAN it work, there is no harm in trying it. As long as the threads are the same then in theory it can work. In practice though, it depends on how far each cap extends into the tube. If they are both the same then it should work just fine. If one cap extends farther than the other you may run into problems.

I was just too lazy to type that... I've had my fair share of long posts today. Thank you.

the nemesis and m16 threads are very different.
the nemesis is m20x0.5 pretty odd thread; I believe the poldiac also uses that thread.
the m16 sentinel uses something like maybe m22x1 or it might be m23x1
I use m21x1 mods and bought 10 m21x1 simple topcaps (chi you) from fasttech so I can lock topcaps onto my toppers and treat them as if they were hybrid toppers.
My m21x1 mods are: astro (telescopic - very convenient), chi you, and king.
My vamo and zmax are also m21x1 threaded

So is there a way I can fix my sentinel mods threadsthreads?
