It's my old xbox live gamertag. I wanted 'darthvaper' but ecf wouldnt let me have it
But opticruby sounded laserish to me also.
this literally just happened to me 5 minutes ago, how did you wiggle the spring pin?
Hello @chriswilli4ms. Try and grip the sides of the pin with your fingernails and wiggle left and right then forward and back. It sometimes works.
i had to go out in the garage and get my super small flat head screw driver and a small hammer to unwedge it, the pin is kind of at an angle when the spring is fully extended. thank you !
Your welcome. Glad it got things working. I think the pins in the kbox mini are twisting slightly when theyre dropped with batterys in them.
Also check your battery looks ok, no dents or scratches to the wrapper.
Hello @cmck8712. Welcome to the forum.
Its the negative pin at the top of the kbox mini, try and grab it with your fingernails and give it a wiggle.
Also try putting your thumb flat on the stuck pin and try turning clockwise or anti-clockwise a little to see if it'll unjam it.

@opticruby. Thank you so much for your prompt response.
The pin was so flush with the housing and jammed that I ended up taking out two little screws under the battery and taking the vape apart completely and resetting the spring pin. Now my kangertech is working better than ever! Thanks again for the help. No need to despair anyone who sees this it is quite fixable and a common problem.
Your welcome. I'm glad you got it working. Your right it is common and very fixable.
Wiggle didnt work and I can only find 1 screw on this thing when trying to disassemble it. Anyone have any other recommendations? or maybe a video on the disassembly?
Re-read what someone put about where the second screw was. Managed to fix it myself.

Hey, I'm also quite new to vaping and I have the exact same problem with my subox mini. It fell off a table and one of the metal things seems to be pushed in and jammed. Could you maybe specify where and what to "wiggle". Thanks
Since we're here on fix issues on the Kanger Box. Some people have gotten the E1 error code. I did. Here's the fix.
Here's the trick. Install the battery in the BoxMod. Leave the cover off. Turn sideways. Using your thumbs, hold down all three buttons at one time at the same time slide the battery toward the negative (breaking connection) then release (reconnecting). This will reset the processor and reestablish function.

Having this problem.... wiggling it is doing nothing, TBH it doesn't even wiggle.... just stuck.... cool guessing im out over $100 after dropping the vape pen a foot onto CARPET! Complete ... don't ever buy one of these pieces of garbage!
Quick fix for those who find this thread. Right above the negative spring, is the two magnets for the battery door. If you stick a skinny knife in between the magnets and top part of the battery compartment, the spring will pop out.
You're welcome.
