    I did the same as you, although I also replaced the 510 connector because mine was shot. I had the same issue with the battery sled being difficult to fit because of the wires. 

    Ultimately I abandoned the project because I had to make substantial cutouts in the battery sled (for both the 510 and for the DNA 200 wiring) that, in my opinion, made the mod somewhat unsafe.

    You can remove the top plastic covering on the battery connectors to prevent them melting when you solder them....

    I made a write-up with some photos

    Can the original Wismec 510 socket be disassembled for example so the insulator or spring can be replaced?

    That's a good shout, i'm sure i have an old 510-ego adapter kicking around somewhere from my MVP days! Whatcha reckon, just a big glob of solder in the top of it, then stick a multimeter on the bottom once it's cooled to see what it shows?

    Here's mine:

    I removed the insides and the rubber grommet and put the positive pin back in and filled with solder.

  3. So my plan was to open up my reuleaux and cut the small black wire then see the results. When I removed the battery sled I saw something that I didn't expect to see (even though I don't know what it is). The number 1 and 3 are not jumpered to the battery connections with a piece of wire but with what ever the picture here is. On the component used it it black and marked "0" not 205 like the included picture.
    So I stopped the "experiment" and put it back together.
    Here is what the component looks like:

  4. First just let me say that this is just the result of "thinking about it" so keep that in mind.
    Here is a screen of my good working Wismec with no batteries.

    Here is a diagram that was posted by VapingBad:

    I very well might be all wet on this but I believe that the small black wire going to #1 is open or has a bad solder joint on one end or the other.
    Additionally I have been considering that the projections of the case where the board screws to and grounds may not be providing a good ground also.... just thinking out loud here though.
