Im not going to say this is the best bats ever or theres nothing to worry about, or we shouldnt be careful.
All im saying is in a world where Efests have exploded, and trustfires have melted down I would feel better knowing people are at least using a battery from a company that has proven to be reliable and trustworthy.
if what everyone is saying is true then the mighty "AW" IS a panasonic, and no ones worried about those. while we need to treat all batteries with care and not abuse them, if people are so abusive of their battieres they have to worry about them falling apart, punctures etc, them maybe you shouldnt be playing with rechargables in the first place.
heres whats bugging me. so far in the last 3 months I have seen several news stories about ego's and ecigs melting down, yet everyone says "no big deal" user error" "people get what they deserve" etc.
no one says stop using them or we dont know the chemicals, or any other words of caution when they have clearly been shown to be volatile. how many times have you read, i got these cheap ego knockoffs, or i got these copies from........ who the heck even knows how they slapped those batteries together or whats in them. most likely the same factory has a battery machine in the back room. yet thats ok.
so we come to this part of vaping and heres a company that prides itself on safety and superior manufacturing, and who doesnt have one incident or reported problem or failure from flachlights to rc's, who's products have been proven to be reliable, and trustworthy, (even tesla cars use panasonic 18650's) and everyone acts like its a stick of dynamite with a lit fuse.
Its almost to the point where it seems people are saying "as long as I have a safer battery I can use this less safe cheap clone " or "I dont even have to pay attention to how I treat the battery becuase it _safer_". being safer chemistry is just that - safer - not fail proof.
people will buy cheap clones with failing pins and crappy contacts but refuse to try a different battery? cmon. read some of the panasonic safety PDF's about how they actually build their battieries, the safety features, the testing they do. how many of the other companies are even willing to release this information?
being slow and cautious to adopt something new is not a bad thing. especially with this kind of stuff. but being totally afraid to even give something a chance to prove itself is.
