Smileomizer bent connection?

I know some of my tanks appeared crooked, but I haven't experienced this with the smileos. Does it affect the function at all?
Maybe a pic will help?

No, they work like a charm. They appear to be fine. No visible weirdness at all, but when you screw em' down all the way (normal tightness, I'm not torqueing down or anything) they are bent. I guess it would have to be a video to see it roll on the table. So you can see the wobble.
Ok, I can't show you because I somehow fixed it. I gave it a little force opposite the bent direction and it moved straight. I don’t really know what actually moved though. I will keep my eye on this and see if I figure what’s going on.
Ok, I figured out what’s going on. It’s not the Smileomizers, it’s the battery. I was getting ready for work the other day. Put my Zeus on the bed as I got dressed. Looked down to pick up my Zeus and I saw the Smileomizers off. It puzzled me as to why. Picked it up with two wires hanging off it. The battery connection came out of the Zeus tube. (Surprised at how small the wires are. About maybe #22 sized wire.) I put it back in and pounded it back in with a piece of wood. Seemed fine. I keep it on me at work in a Maglite AAA (triple A size) flashlight holder case on my belt. I can't keep anything in my shirt pocket. I’ve lost way too many things in fuel pits. A phone, calculator, many pens, and even an old model Vapor King XL. I went to pull my Zeus out like I do so many times a day and it just easily came apart. I got it out of the holster and put it back together. That is the only times it just fell apart. It gets crooked quite often now though. For some reason it just comes loose. I'm thinking of putting a dab of epoxy on it next time it comes apart.
i have the same bent issue on two of my DAV and one of my Zeus have found it to be the same exact issue you are mentioning.
Can you send me the order number for that broken Zeus and if you still have it can you send it back to us? I will make sure to send you a replacement.
Matt, can you also send me the order numbers for the broken DAVs?
Well, it’s not exactly broken. Yet. It’s only come apart on me three times now and I easily put it back together. If it gets bent, I just straighten it out. If it gets too loose or if the wires break, then it’s broken. It’s got a year warranty right?
Ok then. I will wait. I am still quite happy with it. If it gets bad I will give ya' a holler. Thank you agian BHam.
