I got a couple dents on the side of my 18650 battery. Theyre pretty small but i dont want to risk it. Should i toss it or keep on vaping with it?

How small are the dents? I don't think you can post pics until you get a few more posts under your belt, but if you can measure the depth that would help.

In the meantime, I would hold off on using that battery.

    I agree with Ryedan, post pics. While small dents "should" be OK it's just not worth taking a chance and best to not use tbe cell for now. Perhaps of more concern is how did the cell get dented? You'll want to make sure that if you buy a new cell rhat it also diesn't get dented.
