my vtube fell off the table and apparently onto the stainless steel drip tip at an angle, somehow it managed to bend the cartomizer just above the flange but no other damage, its not leaking or anything... strange that it was tough enough to bend the cart without breaking the connector, tank or drip tip

should i watch for possible further damage to the cartomizer?

You should be fine, just be careful tugging on the carto. It isn't likely to snap, but with any small amount of damage the bottom of the carto can become unseated, and if you tug too hard you'll yank the flange out along with all of the filler.

that would suck royally as im out of replacements until tomorrow, the amount of juice should easily last me until i stalk the mailma.... err i mean the mailman comes tomorrow :)

The way it fell it sounds like it is ok..but I would watch that battery for any irregularities because lithium batteries don't like hard falls..with any of these e cigs if dropped the battery should always be watched awhile for things like changes in charging or discharge rates and for them getting warm with use or charging any more than would be normal..I would for sure take the battery out and check for damage too...

battery still looks good, no dents dings or scratches, i did put an x on it so i can distinguish it from the other to make sure i watch it
