Lithium battery failure = boom (I'm okay)

Wait.. why is this stick-eed?

I'm not sure I understand your question.
It's stickied because there are lots of people here that don't understand the risks involved in using unprotected batteries, or even protected batteries in a homemade circuit.
They hear high voltage is good, mods are good, I'm not smoking....... it's all good.
There are risks involved and users need to be aware of them. Your cell phone and laptop have protection circuits built in, mods often don't.
It just isn't worth burning down your house, blowing out an eye, or injuring a child.

that's a major reason these things will be banned , having an unstable power source so close to the users face.
I wonder what kind off safeguards and standards mobile phones have with their batts.

Still , glad your all ok Eskimoroll. I'm guessing the failed battery was un-protected ?

and don't forget a protected batt will be a millimeter or two longer than the un-protected variety.

speaking of which, you just hit on something there: does anyone have a cellphone battery mod? They're 3.7v (in my samsung) and readily available in quantity for fairly cheap, and compact.

/wheels spinning now....
