I got a mini cactus a few months ago the one with the three green fins
and toped up with a red prickly ball shaped thing ...hehe!

Anyways the top ball shaped thing started turning brown and know it's
all dead looking, some people told me that it's because i watered it
too mush but I'm not sure if once or twice a week is really too mush?

Today i ripped the ball thingy off completely and i was wondering if
another one would eventually grow back to replace it???

Yes, you definately watered it too much. A general guideline is once
a month in winter, twice a month (in summer) during the gorwing
season. The graft will probably not grow back. It may be too late,
but put it in a sunny window and don't water it for six weeks.
