It's a common issue with all ego style batteries. Just one of those things, the connector is usually pressed in rather than threaded so a bit of pressure can make it come apart.

I guess but please advise is that the same then, if I buy a twist for £25 or a fastech vv for £10?
I had a twist come apart on me at xmas, but binned it cos I was scarred to use it, today I had little choice and decided to go for it, but scared to charge it

Yes its the same. Ego style is basically any battery that looks like an ego, be it fatter, longer, vv, etc. The top connectors are almost always just pressed in when they're manufactured.

Why do they come apart so easily??
I am actually now wondering if it is cheaper to buy cheaper .

You will be when your bent over my knee

Sammy you wont have upset steve he is like me skin like a rhino they come apart so easily because they are pressed together in manufacture but if it worked after you pressed it back together then that shows that the wires are ok so it will be safe to recharge it

[collie2011]

Mine has been like that for a few months now. It still comes out a little bit every now and then, I just push it back in, still charges fine. All the ego style batteries are like that.

If your worried about the battery thing you could get an iTaste vv 3.0, I love mine & no fiddly wires etc. myepack does the battery for 19.99 & I presume your clearos will work with it

I saw this thread and thought of this

The itaste vv has rivets to hold it together so should be stronger. I love mine got 2 and 2 new spares unused. About the same size as an ego and not as much as you paid for the ego battery. The clearo's you have will all fit it too so just get the battery when your ready to replace.

sammy13, if you want a more robust out'n'about battery, look at the X6 from fasttech:-

www.fasttech.com/products/1368500

they're great and pretty robust, I've got one and am planning on another (or two;) ) for the very purpose of out'n'about - they fit into your hand just nicely too... 3 voltage settings and 1300 mAh, and at £9:16 each, a bargain

I will pop one of those on my next order, they do look more solid than the twists.
I just bought a twist before I saw this 

Can you use an evod/ mini p with them or do they need an adapter?
Also what kind of charger does it take, I can't see , unless it takes batteries ???

[babs]

The itaste vv is less than £15.00 too sammy13 although only 800mah lasts as long as a higher mah ego and really good I have two one charging one using + 2 unused spares. All I've used since end of Sept and never had a moments problem. www.fasttech.com/products/1411/10004594/1363600

sammy13 it charges with an ego-type charger, it's a fully sealed battery like egos are. Protank 1-2-3-aero all fit perfectly, I'll just go check the miniPtanks and evods.....

......yes, both evod and miniPtank work, just be a bit careful with the evod as the well around the connector is quite deep
