I'm a big Twist fan, as well. I bought a 1000mah when they first dropped, then someone dropped and broke it three days in... So I waited around to win a Lavatube or something, but that never happened, so I bought two 650mah Twists. So I could have one to use while the other was charging. ;) I actually miss the length (and battery life) of the 1000mah Twist, though. Either way, I love the things.

What's a KSD? I'll probably kick myself when you tell me...

The KSD is a VV ego style, but with clicks.. 5 clicks from low ( red =3.2) to medium ( graple/purple 3.7 ) to high ( blue = 4.2 ) . We always had it on blue and it would "fade" over the life of the charge.

A plus was it was also a passthrough, a minus was it didn't have an off. Was at the time my recommendation for a cheap test of the VV world to see if a bump in voltage made any difference to someone.

It still works and has saved me a few times when I did what I mentioned above and forgot to put a fresh battery in the LT before running out the door. I could just leave it at work, and because it had a usb connection I could charge it off my laptop if it was running low.

Alright, now I'm kicking myself. But just a little, because I have one of those and it's not a passthrough and it was called... something else, I forgot. Yeah, those things really do not keep their advertised voltage, do they? But I still use mine. I like the ring o' colors above the button and the battery level indicator. Not pocket friendly, though, as you and your wife well know! ;)

I'm like your wife: The Twist has made that battery seem a bit silly (though I still use it). If mine was a passthrough, it might be a different story...

what part broke Gomtuu? if the button is jambed and sits cockeyed now, it might be an easy fix. This happened to me three times and it takes only a moment and pliers to fix.

My spider sense tells me it's a design flaw that the button easily slips out of position but the electronics are fine.

Lemme tella ya, Darren, this girl dropped my Twist so hard (on concrete, at an awkward angle) that it was dented. I've fiddled with the button, to no avail. I watched Steeljan's video on repairing the Twist, and I'm a little nervous to try it myself. I still have it, though, and I'm planning on looking at it when I have a nice chunk of time to do some hardcore squinting (I have a 4-year-old daughter). Thanks for the tip!
