Help: eGo-Twist Batteries, CROOKED!

[supermarket]

I have two eGo-Twist batteries. I noticed after having dropped them both a few times....that now the delivery mechanisms I put on them sit crooked.

At first, I thought maybe the dropping affected the pro tanks and evods....but now , after closely inspecting the whole vape system (batteries and delivery devices included), I've noticed that the problem is with the ego twist batteries.

It isn't the threading that is causes the crookedness, It seems to the ring that has the button to turn the battery on, which is crooked.

Is there anyway to re-set the ring? I don't want to damage my batteries further by pushing too hard on anything....especially since there is no problem at all with the functionality of the batteries,....it is merely a cosmetic issue.

Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone found a solution to fix the crookedness?

some of the knockoff batteries come out at that seam, it could have popped out a little then bent crooked as it hit the ground. Just try to straighten it, and push down (or pull out, but be careful, wires are attached). My generics have popped out a couple of times right at the same spot from them being in my front pocket and my leg bending did it.

happened to mine when i sat with it in my jeans front pocket, use the clearo to twist and seat it again slowly. i also torn up the threads on one of my 900 twists. too bad, i like em and will prob still use as a carry but going to apv now.

between the 900 stripped internal threads and one of my Vision 1300s shorting out without warning, im seeing the limitations of these as sole carrys

I recommend reading http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ego-type-models/306719-ego-twist-broken-button-help-4.html there is a great post about how to straighten the top ring.

I'd just add, it's not just the knock-offs that have this issue, it can happen to all of them when dropped or stressed.
