eGo-T Upgrade New control head

[SupplyDaddy]

Has anyone else found that the new control heads for the eGo-T upgrades have an issue with nippled batteries?

Seems the positive button on the control head on the 2 new ones I have are longer.

I have also found that some of the usb chargers that work with the old version won't work with the new version.

Thanks for the heads up, first time I've heard of it, so did you have to switch to flat tops?

The Ego T's I got from Health Cabin actually have a vented end cap that can be removed, you could try changing the spring.

Oh, I was wondering if the new heads fit the Kanger (I'm sure I know the answer to this but what the heck)

Not sure on the Kanger, I don't use them, although with other clearomizers it depends on the base thickness as the new control head is now a well like the VAMO.

Changing the spring might work for some.. the one I have I was able to compress the spring into the cap a bit more and now I can use the nippled batteries, but it didn't work on the wife's. I'll see what else I can try!

I got a defective unit. I picked up an eGo-t 'upgrade' on Tuesday and then tonight, I set it down and went into another room, about 10 minutes later I came back and noticed a faint hissing sound, it was the eGo, it was firing, and had been firing the entire time. When I grabbed it to unscrew the atty it burnt my hand (not very bad). A few more minutes and I would have been putting out a fire, or at least scrubbing battery acid off my walls.
