Ego batteries coming apart - How to fix them so they don't burn out atomizers?

[Karma]

I have some generic Ego batteries that I really love, but unfortunately some of them are coming apart from the casing and the connector.

I do not know how to put them together properly with the chip in place or really how they are supposed to be at all once the guts spill. I looked for a tutorial on this, but I couldn't find one.

Any ideas?

If it were me, I would see if they still are under warranty from the seller and see about returning them. If not, I would dispose of them and buy new ones. batteries can be very dangerous if not working right.

Just go to fasttech and pick some up, they're cheap enough.

That is exactly why I was wondering how to put them back together. I bought them there and they are regularly coming apart =(.

I've had two Twists come apart. Tried following some of the videos on how to put them together properly. Wasted at least 2 hours and they still wouldn't work properly. Ended up throwing them out.

I tried to put one back together once, apparently crossed the wires, shocked myself a little, and said "forget this" and threw it out.

Now I'm having a similar problem - the whole top hasn't come off, but the rubber o-ring around the center post of the top of the battery has come loose. Also, when I shake the battery I can feel something jiggling around loose inside. This is a cheap ego knockoff that was the first thing I bought when returning to vaping, I guess if I have to throw it away too I will, but it's the smallest one I've got and I like it for the stealth factor.

Can anyone let me know if there's any danger in continuing to attempt to charge and/or use it without that o-ring seated properly?

What's weird is I bought 4 from FT, all of them worked - then I lent one to my mother-in-law and somehow the top popped off (see my other post for my failed repair attempt). Figured 3/4 wasn't bad, so I bought another 4, intending to give them all to her. This time, 2 were dead on arrival. Contacted customer support, they were really easy to deal with - sending them back and they're going to send me 2 more. If you're within the 45 day return period, go ahead and open a ticket and see if they'll take 'em back.

Just bumping myself because I'd really appreciate some advice...

Buy some genuine (joyetech, kanger, vision) ego batteries from a reputable dealer. Don't expect cheap generic stuff to hold up.
