Manhattan Mod Clone Threads

[brandee001]

Hello Peeps,
I am hoping someone can give me some advice. Yesterday I received my Manhattan mod from Vape Royalty in the mail. I initially put my rda and battery and started vaping away. Later in the day, I decided to check out the magnet and firing pin just because that's part of the fun right? When I unscrewed the bottom off of the mod and checked out all the components I attempted to put it back together, several times. Sadly, for the life of me it will not thread all the way back into the body of the tube. I am not sure what else I can do. I have unscrewed and rescrewed over and over and nothing. Its got a decent sized gap and I am afraid I will strip it if I keep trying. I believe the problem is with the magnetic attachment threading because I unscrewed my top cap and tried threading into the bottom and it screwed in and back out just fine. Any ideas to fix or is my only option to send back?

Hey mate! Sorry for your troubles, it really sucks to get something new and then have things go wonky. Three quick things, because I was up all night making poor decisions:

1. If we aren't able to help, you might actually try calling VR -- I've heard good things about their support and they might know the model better to walk you through the issue.

2. It's a good thing to take apart your mod when you get it, and clean out the threads and switch.

3. You say there is a gap -- is it a crooked gap, with one side higher? I'm asking in case of cross-threading.

4. It's been awhile since I played with one, but I've never heard of magnetic attachment threading. Is this actually the switch magnets you think are causing the issue, or is there something new on this clone?

Sorry I worded that poorly, what I meant by magnetic attachment threads was the threads on the bottom/end cap. It does appear uneven no matter how many times I try to place it evenly on the tube. I did get some q tips and noalox to clean the threads and no dice. Ugh.

So I figured it out. Turns out that when I had taken apart the end cap, I removed the magnet and placed it on the upper end of the cap that threads into the tube. When it was supposed to sit inside the firing button. What a dummy mistake. And to boot I fixed it accidentally. Bahaha

Aha, awesome! So glad it wasn't cross-threading, you had me worried when you said it was going on unevenly. Thanks for coming back & sharing the solution.
