Insides of my battery have loosened?? Lessened performance

[M_DuBb716]

Hey guys, I have a Variable Voltage battery that is pretty much a clone of the Ego-Twist, although a little shorter and a tiny bit thicker around, it's 1300mah and you can "twist" the bottom to change the voltage from 3.3-4.8volts. I'm usually using a Kanger T2 clearomizer on it (with 1.8ohm coils at about 3.8volts), although sometimes the T3, aClear Nova, or a carto..

I've only had the battery for about 2 months and lately it seems it hasn't been performing like she used too, my vapor hasn't been as thick and satisfying lately like it used to be. I just noticed yesterday that it seems the battery is slightly bent towards the threaded-connection, and today I noticed that if I shake the battery, I can feel and hear the insides of it shaking around.

I definitely didn't notice the insides of my battery shaking around before. I can hear and feel the insides (circuit board and such) shaking around the inside of the metal tube. I know my problem isn't that I'm getting used to the Throat Hit or flavor

... I've been having problems with this battery since I got it, a month ago the button got stuck inside it (a problem I heard the Twist has often also), and they would only fix it for me, wouldn't replace it even though I had the receipt and it was a 3-week old battery. The next day, my best friend with the same battery had the same problem (button stuck inside), he brought it to the same store without a receipt, and they replaced it no questions asked!! That ...... me off

I'm going to bring it back to my local vape store where I got it and they better replace it this time or I'll give them hell.. Sorry for the rant, what do you guys think I should do??

Welcome , and by all means , go to the store where you got it , but do yourself a favor , and leave the attitude at home . If you go to the store , and start demanding satisfaction , you more than likely , will get no where . Instead , play stupid , go in and just say that your having a problem , and could they check it out for you ? Then they might be inclined to replace your's , as well . But that's only my opinion , your free to tackle it , anyway you see fit . Good Luck

Attitude, really?? LoL maybe I should have left out "give them hell..". I'm always have respect when talking to anybody about any situation. All I'm saying is that I bought a $50 product and was expecting it to work, I'm not going to get angry with anyone when it doesn't, but this is my 2nd battery I've been having problems with since I started vaping 3 months ago.

And the receipt from where I brought it says they will replace any Manufacturer-Defects within 90 days, the button getting stuck inside the battery was definitely a defect - and they can't replace mine with a receipt but replace my friends same battery without a receipt the next day? I'm not giving anybody an attitude, but I have reason to be frustrated.

Sorry I had to rant, but I'm not giving an attitude to anyone. I don't know where you got "demanding satisfaction" from, I'll just get my stuff online from now on hah..

It's not like I'm going into the store all angry and get frustrated with the workers there, the workers at my local vape shop have helped me out immensely and showed me a lot about vaping. Sorry that you sensed an attitude lol but I had to rant, it's not easy switching from smoking to vaping

Sorry if I came off as having an attitude, I guess that's the only answer for my question really. I'll bring it in to the store tomorrow, thanks

Do you have a volt meter you can check the battery? There are definitely button issues. Did you check the ego subforum? There's a thread that talks about ways to fix the button.

Yes, I'd be annoyed with a broken 3 week old battery. Do they offer any sort of warranty? If it's a Joye battery, they do offer a fairly good warranty. Not sure if the reseller honors the warranty though.
