Ego-T battery power button

[TxAnt]

I am just wondering if this is a common problem or if I'm just lucky, but I have 3 Ego-T's and the power button on one of the batteries has sunk in. Meaning it is now pushed back into the battery and almost flush with the casing. I can still manage to push it in a little bit more to turn it on, but it is a bit of a nuisance. I can't figure out any way of pulling it back out as you can't open the battery casing up (that I'm aware of).

I could understand if I'd had this for ages and it was just worn out, but I've only used this battery for about a week! Has this happened to anyone else?

I would say that is very odd. I'd get with your vendor and arrange to have it exchanged.

Yes, that's an oddity, but I've seen all kinds of strange things pop up from time to time. Most people don't pay much attention to the button on the ecig they're using, but it's one of the most important features. Personally, I don't like the button style on the EGO but you have to remember not all EGO's are made the same. If I had to guess I'd say there are at least half a dozen companies producing what they call EGO's but all but one are knock-offs.

OK thank you for the responses, guess I'm just lucky enough to have gotten a dud.

One of my dads eGo-T batteries that was 6 months old or so had the button break off inside the hole. He could still press the button with a toothpick but it was just a hassle. I told him to toss it because it's not worth the risk of something shorting out and it becoming a roman candle.
I got a Smoktech ego battery a couple weeks ago and I think the same thing will happen with it eventually because I have to press the button a bit harder than my Joyetech batteries to get it to activate.
