I will assume that this is a genuine post from someone who actually wants info, and just doesnt know anything about batteries.
u shorted your battery. Yes, It would have exploded all up on your leg, and your leg woulda been pretty badly hurt, probably woulda been a lot of blood too.
First. never put a battery in your pocket.
One time, I put a pair of batteries in my backpack without a case, only because my case broke and I was on Vacation, so didnt have a spare. I made sure there was nothing in side that pocket.
unwrapping your batteries is not usually a good idea. did you rewrap ?
Rule of thumb, If you do not trust your vendor enough to trust that the batteries are authentic or not, you probably should not be buying your batteries from that vendor.

Yeah, one of the DONT'S of Vaping is, do not EVER put your batteries in your pocket along with your keys, coins or some kind of metallic object that can come in contact with the positive and the negative. Unless you want a short or battery vent in you pocket, and if that's what you want then go ahead. lol!
Yeah, here's what happened when someone didn't check the pocket in a backpack for metal objects when carrying batteries. An extreme and dramatic example to be sure, the battery's circuit was completed with something metalic in the bag causing the battery to vent in thermal runaway. You see the inside contents of the battery exploding from the cell casing like they are an accordion. Battery was an AW 18490 IMR battery...a safe chemistry battery. Imagine this happening inside a pants pocket, purse, or mod.

Any loose metallic item in the same container with a battery WILL short and become an issue....

Haha yea, I know... I like to think that I have a fairly good knowledge about battery safety, And I think ( Hope) That you would agree, seeing as how most of that knowledge came from you...haha!
Yea, That coulda happened to the OP's leg.
Almost worse if it goes off inside a cheap clone with not enough vent holes. BOOM!
These kinda stories give vaping a bad name
Lets look at it from a hypothetical.
Battery blows in your pocket. Your leg is all messed up... pretty bad, you needed a couple operations etc.
Media gets wind of it.
What kind of battery. Oh an 18650 (or similar). What are they used for? Oh Laptops, Flashlights, Vape gear.... Hold on what?
Interviews !
Papers get plastered with Electronic cigarette battery explodes.
Tons of people probably going to be scared off vaping. Vaping gets more of a bad rap.
Not practicing proper battery safety is bad for all of us.
All of my batteries not in mods are in plastic cases. It seems to me I bought a pack of 10 extra cases on ebay from China for like $1 a few months ago. They took awhile but now I have backups for when cases break.
Don't EVER do that!! Tell me you at least rewrapped it before using it again or putting it your pocket full of keys...
Any battery, regardless if it is for ecigs or not, should never go in a pants pocket or loose area with other metal objects. This can happen even with the standard AA or AAA etc... batteries that we use around the house.
Hubby learned that lesson with a AA battery, in his pocket with keys, years ago.
Glad you are OK and you have learned a lesson that you can tell to others and let them know what Not to do
My battery cases are large so when I just need to take 1 out and about with me, I just pop it in one of those little zip lock bags that held something ecig related that was shipped to me. Even in that little baggie, I don't trust it completely and have it in a side pocket, of my purse, that has nothing else in it.

Well i just ordered a 4 pack of cases on Amazon. I have one case already, normally have two batts i my IPV4, one in a tube mod, one in my Sigelei mini and a spare battery on my humidor. But I figured why not just get cases. Dont want anything Esplosing on me or in my house!!
keys plus lithium battery in pocket = OUCH!

I love these things. No bulk of a hard case, and batteries stay in there, safe and sound. I still don't carry them in my pocket though!
In a pinch you can make a battery case from a couple of 10ml or 15ml juice bottles with the tops cut off. Just slide them together with the battery inside.
And FWIW, the wrapper on the battery is an integral part of the battery. It's there for a reason.

All this thread was serious and I really appreciate your informations.
I'm not noob usually, I know a lot about vaping, hell yah a lot, I also sell premium liquid etc.
But this time, I got a lesson, I did not rewrap the batterie, I just throw it out outside!
I also bought batteries cases and I'll speak about that to others persons.
At my job, a lot of them also put their batteries in theirs pockets, "oh my god what are they doing!?"

This is what I use to carry extra battery's Briley Choke Tube Colored Case Orange 3 Choke Holder | eBay It will hold 3 18650 or 6 18350 with a foam spacer between each pair.
I appreciate your honesty. It takes a big man/woman to flat out say how doofusy they can be and I can relate.
I'm so glad no harm done, and every new vaper who might read this thread can see how simple it is to prevent...EXPLOSING (which is my new word of the decade and hope it goes on to the Oxford Dictionary).
