Someone said to stick a thin knife blade between the plastic and metal case above the pin area to pop it out. I had trouble getting the blade in there but somehow it popped out anyway after I wiggled the pin with my finger.
haha WOW! there sure-is a LOT of people whom hadn't said anything prior to this thread, popping-in to say that they have or HAD this same exact issue. I've never had the issue so bad that my battery wouldn't connect, but as I type this, my top connection IS jammed on 1 side, that-is, i cannot get it to fall... It seems to be jammed on the right side, but all of my batteries do make connection. should it ever get jammed where I cannot get it to fall, I will certainly try the wiggle or the knife tricks. it's a great mod, and I can understand a small issue like this popping up. the spring IS of high quality, and it's a better design than the old fashioned springs... but the fact that this post is jamming is NOT good. if u have the time, contact a to let them know this is happening, so that they can perhaps change the inner design so this wont happen to new customers! I'm going to as-well!

Another good trick if you absolutely cant get it is to put a dime on either end and put the battery in.
just happened to mine after a 2 foot drop on my carpet
seem to be a common problem with a easy fix

[HELP] with the Kangertech Subox Mini negative battery terminal getting stuck inside the mod. • /r/electronic_cigarette
update:
took me 10 minutes to fix the issue,
half that time was spent crawling around on the floor trying to find the little cap covering the spring.
follow these instructions

The same thing happened to my chicks subox today....I loosened the screw behind the batt. And it popped out as soon as I got it lose. I had tried wiggling it and prying it both did not work. I hope this helps y'all out
I too had this issue after mine fell around one foot or so from my bed. The spring loader did end up clicking into place, but over the past month or so it stopped working. My solution may seem a bit unorthodox, but it works! What I did was I placed a dime directly in between the battery and the connector on the negative side of the battery (it fits in there perfectly!)
The unit works perfectly and the dime doesn't cause any overheating or other issues, actually the battery doesn't get nearly as warm during charging as it used to!
If all else fails and another drop completely disables the spring loaded connector, the dime trick will get you up and running again!

Interesting. Baditude was my Xbox Live gamertag.It's my old xbox live gamertag. I wanted 'darthvaper' but ecf wouldnt let me have it
But opticruby sounded laserish to me also.
Confirmed. Would not have thought of doing that on my own. Thanks so much!
This thread just saved me!!! I too dropped mine from the side of bed...it fell a foot maybe.... Then didnt work..battery was loose. After scouring the floor looking for something that may have fell out.... I googled.. And sure enough my top connector was flush.. I had to stick a thin thin metal into the gap and POP the connector popped out! Its actually supposed to be out the full space to fill the gap so the battery is tight.. GREAT THREAD. THANK YOU!! Back to vaping! Was MADDDD I just got this thing 2 days ago!!! First time vaper. Awesome.. Happy happy girl here
Glad it worked out for you. I think this thread has saved a few kbox mini's negative pins.
Also a very big welcome to the ECF forum. Glad to have you here and vaping with us!!!
and if that doesnt work.... get a bigger hammer
You mean "jiggle it'a little, it'll come"
Hi @Jewellz and welcome to ECF. Glad you found the answer to your problem here. I hope you continue to participate in the forum!
