ego twist fell apart in my pocket

[dirtyrigger]

So i've been loving my twist for about 3 weeks now, its my first pv since '09 when I trashed my 510 cause it wouldn't hold charge longer than 2 hours. I went to pull it from my pocket tonight and I felt my tank, then the circuit board, then the housing, all only held together by the wiring.I found the button and got everything put back together again but I can tell is looser than it used to be.I plan on putting epoxy in the connection another day when I have the time. My question its, WTF!?!?!?!? Is this normal? is a pants pocket a bad place for a pv like this? He's anyone heard of this before or had it happen? It seemed to me like I finally found a quality product until this.

You must have found an easy way to take an eGo apart.
Lots of people have trouble doing that.
There's even youtube videos how to do it.
It's not that easy to do.

Warranty baby, I would request a return...that is not normal.

I'd definately see about a replacement, those things don't come apart easily.

There was probably undo pressure with the tank against the connection and it somehow must have really had some pressure against it for this to happen, it's not the vendor or manufactures fault, it takes some serious force for this connection to come apart, you had to have sat on it or something for this to happen. I've taken many of Ego's apart at this connection, its not like they just pop apart so easy they dont, they use a press to make this connection. If your unit is still working I would do just as you said, a little j-weld on the metal press fit part and push it back together and let it sit overnight, be as good as new
