Ego Twist is firing on its own

[hildicat]

Been using my new twist for a couple of weeks with no issue. Tonight I screwed on one of my stardusts and took a few drags. After the third drag it continued to fire after I released the button. Took off the stardust and did the five click shut off. Wiped everything down and tried again with the same results, then tried a different stardust adn it still self fired after two drags.

Anyone else experience this?

I had the same thing happend to 1 of my reg ego bat after only having it for just over a month...it then stopped charging right soon after..think it shorted out...hope yours is diff..

Only time i have ever experienced any battery firing on its own is when juice gets into the button and it gets sticky... I have never seen 2 batteries do it. This could be its detecting a short of some kind if both are doing the same exact thing. Id try a different atty or carto.

I've had the button or the board rather, move slide down into the tube slightly and cause a continuous "fire". I had to wiggle the connector apart and place a piece of card stock behind the board to keep it from doing it again.

Typical Chinese pile of dog doo time for a Provari maybe

Is this a Joye unit? They have knock-offs now.

Until you clean out the button area good, you can just give the carto a 1/4 twist and it won't fire it.

To be clear, it happened on the same battery with two different attys, and since this happened originally it hasn't happened again. I've not been using it nearly as much just out of fear...

I have. My ego twist from healthcabin (authentic joye) would "fire on its own" when I screwed the starduct down really tight. Or my IKV 510 atty. (But it wouldn't with my IKV i06) So I just screwed it down snug enough to make contact and no more, and it stopped. After I screwed a type-b tank down something "clicked inside the twist" and now i can screw the stardust down tighter then before. It seemed to be something related to the pressure of the deviced screwed onto the twist and the button kinda sticking becuase of that. Which is all fine with me, I just bought it to use it around the garage and yard work and stuff. Don't want to screw my darwin up! Hope it works out for you.

Happy to report that the problem has disappeared since it first happened. I don't think I did anything differently, its just work now as it should.

I have had tthat happen.. It was caused by the lanyard ring and a trim collar being too tight. I have to leave them just barely tight enough to not loosen up. If you make them even "finger tight" on some it will cause the button to stick. It seems to be a defect on one of my lanyard rings.. Only one out of three does it.

Not sure which part you don't agree with?

I have had a button press in and not come back. It had been dunked in salt water and thrashed around on a lanyard during yard work, so I wasn't surprised. I pulled it apart and realigned the button and card and it works like new. Now That surprised me!

BTW, if you have an old Star Dust laying around, they make a great "handle" to connect to a Twist or eGo when you want to pull them apart. Just remember to go slow and gentle so you don't pull the wires apart. Gently rock it up and down and side to side until it starts to move apart and then it takes very little pressure.

I'm surprised and delighted at the use and abuse the Twist is able to take, especially for the price!

That's handy info X P3, thanks!
