Awww RIP battery. Hope you can figure out how to fix it for good. Our vape shop has an on-call battery repair person who can fix almost anything for $7. Saved a couple of mine.
In a place called Deals Gap in NC, there's something called the Tree of Shame at the bottom of the Tail of the Dragon, which is a steep and twisty mountain road. The tree is where broken motorcycle parts from failed rides, mishaps, and misfortunes that happen going down this road go to be memorialized.
I took inspiration from this and am makin a collage of all my broken and failed vaping parts and pieces. It's not picture worthy...yet
