seems like 1 of the 2 batteries I received in the eGo kit have a flimsy button...at first i thought it was just loose and no big deal. Then it started to misfire, and then the button started to stick. Then when I would hit it, i'd feel the click of the engagement, but nothing happens. I now see that it's stuck in the ON position, and the light is lit, until i move it with a small screwdriver to save the battery power. The vendor said they would replace it, but has anyone run into this and fixed it themselves? i know this is a known issue, but most are flimsy battery buttons, this one is actually broken and will not spring back after its pushed in .
eGo button failure? Any way to fix?

I had a sticky eGo button that I fixed by gently rotating the button about 1/4 turn. (By sticky, I mean that I would press it and it would get stuck.) You could try that and, since the vendor offered to replace it, return it for a replacement if turning the button doesn't do the trick.
same problem you had! i have five ego's - two have a button that kind of.... wobbles? One of them got stuck on but the rotating didn't do anything for it. My assumption is that i flooded the atty too many times and got some goo in the button. I've had one battery go on me but no problems since.
Ahh I see. For me it wasn't liquid bc it was iffy as soon as I got it. It would not fire at first then would fire upon second tap. It would stick in the on position and wouldn't get unstuck until I got a tooth pick and slugged it out.

I've also had the problem with my eGo. I found that turning it a tad will unstick it - haven't had the problem since!
