Ego button protection ring

[fudgeball]

Hi there,

Any idea if the eGo button protection ring is useful? Thought of getting them for my eGos.

Please advise.

Cheers

...it is if you carry your eGo in a pocket or somewhere the button can be accidentally pressed...I read just the other day of a guy who burned a hole in his pocket and his leg........

Hi fudgeball. I bought the eGo button protector when I first got my eGo. I've don't use it, because I generally carry my eGo either in a loose pocket (eg., in my jacket or sweater) or in a loose pocket in my purse. I did put my eGo in my back pants pocket once, and when I bent over I felt the eGo turn on. So, in answer, it depends on where you plan to carry your eGo. Someplace potentially tight...get the protector. Loose...don't. It can also be a little annoying if you're a chain vaper like I am.

Thanks guys

atom48: I'm looking at putting it in my handbag. Would a protector be necessary in that case?

If you have a Joye Ego, it should comes with a 5 clicky On/Off function....

well it depends, it's like a circus in there (handbag), things roll and shift. I say it's cheap enough, you should get one next time you put an order in for something else.

Hey Lonely^Driver, I was thinking of buying the button protection ring for my older eGo which does not have the 5 click feature

Hey Xiotaki! Haaa, my friends call it a tornado aftermath. Alright, sounds like its a good idea to purchase one after all. Cheers

Ahh I see. Well. There's a few ways to go about it.
1) Get a button protector: It serves it's function well. And that is protect the button from being pressed.
2) Unscrew the Atomizer/Cartomizer about 1 turn: No matter how the button is pressed, it will not fire the atty/carto
3) From my experience, the button of the Ego PV does not really activate quite easily(needs abit of effort to press) thus in your handbad it should be fine. Unless you are the type whom always 'squeeze' your handbag below your arms.

Thanks Lonely^Driver I shall try out your second method first before jumping in to purchase the protector.

Great to see a fellow Singaporean on ECF

Just sharing what I have learnt from ECF to those whom needed help. Just like when I was starting out where all the seniors here helped me to where I am now being able to give advise to others.

Indeed good to see your own country mate in the community. Will make you feel that you are not alone..........

Would these work on the Riva 510 also?

Yes, I believe they would.

This^^^.

OTOH, EVERYONE knows that the proper perpetual location for a PV is in your HAND!!!






Just kiddin'. BTW, I've yet to use my eGo switch protector...

Just started with the ego.......mine has the click 5 time on/off thingy, but I dont think the protector would hurt anything you have going
