Whether it's normal or not, if there's something annoying whenever you pick it up, it should go. A mod should be a pleasure to use or it won't get much use.
Better to pass it on or swap it if that's possible. Good luck sorting this out!

I don't have any mods with loose buttons, but I do have some with loose battery doors. And some where the bottom isn't quite flat so they wobble when I set them down. Etc. vaping gear is kind of the wild west of technology. Some of the manufacturers come out with new models every week. They don't have time or funds to get everything right. What matters to them is to sell some units then move onto the next model.
Maybe you can get used to the rattle, if not I guess it goes into the fail box.

I really like Teslacigs as a company but IMHO the 220 punk was their lemon mod. To me it was awful in most ways: heavy, boxy, large, did I mention heavy? It also seemed designed to like, cut my hands with its sharp edges and stuff. I also think the blinking lights WITH the Steampunk WTH?
I sold it on the classies to a guy who I sincerely hope had big hands but he seemed happy with it. I don't remember a button rattle but it would not shock me if there had bee one.
Give me the regurgitating batteries of the steampunk nano that was easily fixed with a silicone sleeve. I will agree, mods that are annoying are harder to vape. I can't imagine you would have that much trouble selling it but I would contact Telacigs directly and say the vendor is giving you grief they may be able to help you out.
Good luck,
Anna

You could always pull it apart and put a few layers of electrical tape on the back of the button. Cut the tape to fit and keep stacking one at a time until the rattle disappears. 
The 8 year old Chinese kid who built it was probably having a bad day on the assembly line that day...

The button won't fall out. It's designed with a flange that captures the button under the case. It can't fall out unless you disassemble the mod.
Did you make a video? I'm serious, make a video, send them the reviews that mention absolutely no button rattle, etc. I don't know how bad that rattle is, but it shouldn't be there. And it bugs you.
It's your decision, of course.
Cool mod, BTW!

Yeah I sent a short video demonstrating to rattle, and it clearly rattles just from handling it. Every button rattles (no battery rattle atleast). I went through the whole process. Took pictures of the box and security code and the video. thanks though, it wouldn't hurt to email them those links.However, They're just blowing me off now. I thought for sure they would make this right after all the hoops they had me jumping through. Anyway, I pulled it back out and put the batteries back in, I really like it! I just keep telling myself the buttons are fine and they wont come off or anything. Everything works wonderfully. Guess i might as well try to tolerate it Lol!. Hey thanks a lot for replying. Best wishes.Did you make a video? I'm serious, make a video, send them the reviews that mention absolutely no button rattle, etc. I don't know how bad that rattle is, but it shouldn't be there. And it bugs you. The vendor won't lose any money--they send it back to the manufacturer as defective, so don't feel bad for them. Besides, the manufacturer should know that there are QC problems with their product--if we don't complain, they'll never know and they'll never fix the problem.

We trash the returns at the vape shop where I work, it just not cost effective to send them back to China.Did you make a video?

Unless there is a mass known recall etc the distributor won't exchange defective singles.Even though the rattle is highly annoying to the customer, it's not really a defective unit.

Oops. Never mind. Sorry. Post edited.
But I disagree with you on the rattle. It's a defect in my book!
No appology nescessary, it all depends on the distributor but the ones we deal with are that way.Oops. Never mind. Sorry. Post edited.

I agree it is a defect, was just playing devils advocate and looking at it from the mfg/dist side of the fence.

More like a design flaw they won't fix unless the word gets out about the rattle and nobody buys them because of the complaints. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Like the Cylon mod, one of the best mods ever. I am so glad I replaced mine. They even got rid of the rubbery finish that died quickly in your hand. My last two Cylons are fantastic. I love that mod so much.

Exactly right. I believe in giving feedback to manufacturers. Countless mods and tanks have been redesigned (think V2, V3) or even taken off the market because we complained on e-cig forums, YouTube, social media, or via requests for replacements under warranty. By pointing out malfunctions and design flaws we only make the industry better and safer.
