Libert flights EGo gone wrong

[Davie]

Got myself the EGO-T kit from liberty flights not to long ago and the wife was trying to remove the tank to fill one up that i gave her and this was the outcome



Pulled the head right off and the tank was still in the Atty.
Is this a defect or one strong woman.
Have now been reduced to sharing my last ego with her and she is greedy

I take it you've contacted liberty flights CS?

Hmmm could be a combination of both. Looks like it's time for some new hardware...

vape On!

Not yet as its just done it and wanted to see if anyone would know why that would happen.
It looks like the glue has failed and its not broke in anyway.Just came away from the glue and killed one wire at the same time

The eGo used to be press fit, no glue at all.

Simple manufacturing variability, you got one that had a weak connector to barrel fitting. No biggie, LF should take care of it if the kit was bought sometime recently.

will try take a better picture for you but it does look like it has some glue residue
on it

They may well have changed to using glue. No biggie, just let them (LF) know.

Just to make things clear incase anyone gets the wrong impression.
I am in no way trying to say that its how they will all act if you get one of these was just wanting to see if it could have been her or a fault with the EGO
Am sure LF will look into this with great care and detail.
And if it was her fault then she no getting another weekend out for a year lol

The top connector piece should not come off. Whether press fit (old method) or glue (apparently new method), the connector is supposed to stay on the tube unless significant force is applied.

If the wire hadn't broken, I'd probably have added some super glue to the tube and shoved the connector back in. Since it did break, let the vendor deal with it. It's not worth fritzing with trying to fix a tiny broken wire, it sounds like it honestly is within the manufacturing defect zone.

Just a lil update for anyone interested.
Have sent it back to LF under there instructions and now the second one from the kit is coming lose at the top.
To be honest i am not impressed with this kit one bit.
I have now bought myself a genuine joytech EGO typec and that feels and looks better.
