This may have been brought up before, but a quick search on this forum did notice produce any noticable results.
I was screwing a cart on that had tight threads the other day and my usual fix is to screw it on and off many times with a little pressure so that the threads will eventualy loosen up.
While doing this I noticed that the button on my XL battery was no longer working, wouldn't even press in, and decided to see if I could fix it. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and gently grabbed the shoulder where the threaded connector meets the battery and with a slight counter-clockwise turn the button was working perfectly again.
I had some defective batteries that were not working correctly when I received them. These buttons were intermittent and if you pressed the button sideways they would sometimes work, but the results were not consistent.
Vapor4Life customer service was kind enough to send me a replacement, and luckily did not ask for the defective battery back so I decided to see if this fix would also work on that and with a slight clockwise turn this button began working as well.
I would recommend against forcing a cartomizer onto a battery. I now use a tube that I threaded with the same size threads (8mm X .75) to loosen up my carts before putting them onto the battery.
