I am having a lot of trouble with Egos in the last 6 months...I have gone through about 6 batteries now. What repeatedly happens after enough use is the battery case detaches from the connector (the metal bit with the button), and the wires instantly break off their solder points. I have managed to repair a couple of them but since the case/connector fit is so bad, it happens again in a few days. It is pretty much a crapshoot resoldering these anyway, sometimes you can do it, sometimes you can't, in that tight a space my soldering skills are just not good enough to do it consistently.
I think I had an Ego-t short out in my pocket yesterday after feeling it come apart in my pocket and then quickly trying to get it back together before the batteries broke. But something obviously moved because I smelled something funny a few minutes later and now there's a black spot on the edge of the connector! Very frustrating and kinda scary.
How do we keep this cheap crap together? Anyone tried a thin line of superglue around the edges? I might try this.
And since I am not against naming names, I will say the DV brand black ones I had earlier this year came apart a lot faster I think than the joyetech that just came apart yesterday, but that still only lasted 3 months before it loosened enough to come apart in my pocket and break the wires. The DV brand ones were so badly manufactured the connectors started detaching from the battery case in a matter of weeks.
Are there any higher quality e-cigs yet where this doesn't happen? All you need is a ....... screw to keep the connector from coming off the body, why doesn't anyone do this?
