Evolv Kick - Crooked Post?

[subver]

Hey guys.
I just got a kick in the mail today, brand new... just wondering.. is the post supposed to be crooked like this? Will this affect the connection at all? Is it supposed to be straight? I looked at pics of other kicks and couldn't really tell if they were crooked or not, but they didn't look it...

Thanks guys!

Also the shrink wrap is not on the blue box as pictured in the kicks on the evolv website, if that matters (I'm sure that's fine.. just pointing out differences). I got the kick from altsmoke - I just want to make sure it's perfect!

When my kick came in it had a crooked center pin too,but not as bad as yours looks,and mine has/is working fine.There is not supposed to be any wrap on the pot,if it was wrapped,you would not be able to adjust your kick.

Ok thanks.. Hopefully it works out ok.. I'll find out when I get my GGTS in the mail. And I didn't mean the shrink wrap over the post, in other pictures the shrink wrap is on the blue box, but I don't think that's a big deal.
Still kind of worried about how crooked the post is.. It's pretty crooked! Maybe I'll email altsmoke and see if I can exchange it, if only to just satisfy my OCD!
Does anyone else have as crooked of a post as mine?

Any warranty issues with kicks,as far as i was told.You have to contact Evolvapor for replacement/warranty issues.Don't quote me just relaying the info. that i was told when i called with an issue i had.

His response was
"We attach the center pins using solder paste and a reflow oven. Sometimes the pin floats a bit in the oven and is not perfectly straight. This will not affect the Kick's performance in any way.

So I guess I'll see how it works, but I think I'd still prefer a perfectly straight one... hmm..

Yes i would too.Like i said while mine came crooked too,not as much as yours looks in the pic.,and mine still works/functions fine.The good news,you have a 90 day warranty on the kick thru evolv,if anything happens.
