Yeah, unfortuantely the metal they use on the twist bodies is pretty thin so the press fit/glue gives it up on occaision. It shouldn't happen right away but I've had egos last me a month or a year. If yours is busted this early (I've only been open a month so it can't be old yet) I'd be willing to replace it. I knew going in that some of these things would have defects and was prepared to deal with it
the only reason I even carry those is because it's the best option for a beginner right now, even with the QC issues and random quality fubars there really isn't a better option for the price (yet).
No I don't need it replaced or anything. I assumed you would be happy to do so. I also assumed it was probably a common issue, given the price, etc. I might try one from a different vendor to see if I can find a different level of quality, as I'm not sure these are 'real' twists, but I honestly think that this is just probably the way it is with press fit. The connector popped out of one of the segelei's today too, and I popped it back in, but I can't get a straight answer as to how that happened from the GF. She says it was just like that when she picked it up off the table :/ If we're good for anything it's stress testing I guess.
