Ok so idk what kind of vape this is, i got it from my girlfriend, but it's stuck in the charger and the bottom keeps popping off every time i twist it to take it off the charger, and everytime it popa off the battery and all that other stuff comes out. And the worst part it is i lost the button to it! Everything fell out the first time and the button got lost and i cant find it! Ive been looking around my desk for almost 2 hours trying to find it and i cant! But i'll keep looking for the button i just need to know why tf my vape keeps popping in half everytime i try to twist it off.

This generally happens after carrying in a pocket.
The metal around the head is stretched and dun for. If/when you find the button, you could try s spot of super glue to keep things in place, but 2 new rules.

No pocket carrying
No over tightening on the charger

1) you don't pull a plug by the cord
2) you don't twist an Ego by the bottom

Sounds to me like you have some brand of an ego type battery and while using it and recharging it you have failed to clean the juice residue out of the threads. It has built up over time and has been transferred to the threads of your charger. It has acted as a glue and that is one of the reasons it is stuck.

Please discard that battery and the charger too. It is not safe to continue using it even if you do find the button and get it back together.

Also, when you get a new battery you should get into the habit of cleaning your battery contact before threading onto the charger. You can use those little alcohol wipes or just dip a q-tip into some isopropyl alcohol, squeeze off the excess and swab your contact if its really gunked up.

As an above post mentioned, carrying in your pocket will put torque on your battery/tank connection. The longer the device the more torque is applied when you sit down with it in your pocket.
