Lol's...sorry.And you should be. Very worried
I feel better now you've liked it.
Feeling a bitafter lori's comment
how do you know when its nearing 3.6v?--i keep thinking about my recent and future road trips,,i would have to pull over to check voltage... that wont workThat is a nice one. Really good reviews.
Mechs get a bad rap because of a few dumb@$$es. Inspect your battery wraps for tears, DONT put batteries in backwards, don't let batteries drain below about 3.6v and don't build stupid low (and check your coil resistance often). That is 99% of the battle.
I have always had a mech or two, but really got into them in the last month or so. I now use them about 90% of the time. Still have all of my teeth and fingers too!
Na na. Use them indoors for a couple of weeks and you can feel the hit weaken at bout 3.8 and lower and then check to see how good you are getting
You will know- 'the force is strong in this one'
If I can't check voltage, I just swap for a fresh one. You can tell when the voltage starts to drop though.
No shame.
And now lols
It's cool, I'm old enough now to deal with the shame
What? You're not falling for this guilt trip? 
@house mouse
Haha. Good man/woman, no that's cool. No bare metal showing is what u need.
Just rewrap it when you get the chance though. Watch YouTube vids on how to do it.

If you use aluminum tape, I'll reach out to the Darwin Award folks for you now.OK. So is it wrong that I just cover a nick in a battery sleeve with tape?
This. I can tell when my batteries are almost exactly 3.8v. I can just tell by the drop in power.If I can't check voltage, I just swap for a fresh one. You can tell when the voltage starts to drop though.
No shame.
You can buy an ohm meter for about $10. The one below or any cheap digital multimeter is all you would need or just recharge when the voltage drop is noticeable. https://www.amazon.ca/HeroNeo®-Mult...8&qid=1471396857&sr=8-5&keywords=multi+meters
I just ordered this 510 version from FT as well.... $8.47 E-Cigarette Resistance & Voltage Tester - 1-9.5ohm / 3-6V at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

ROFL!! No aluminum. Promise.
Yeah I've got an iStick 30W and a Nautilus when I plan on going on a drunk
....
hana one mod, cubis/pro tank with 0.5 ohm coil (in tc mode) and 0mg DIY ry4 double for me. click and fire and no worries of too much nic or burnt coils. I do have a STM I run on an istick30 as well if I actually want some nic and a different juice but I try not to vape nic after 8 or 9 at night anymore.
Anybody thinking of starting with Mech, this is my lecture I give
1. Ohm's law, Steam Engine main page makes it easy and there's even an app on it for Android
2. Batteries, take good care of your batteries and know them!!!!!!!
a. Avoid crap batteries like eFest who rewrap factory rejects from the big 4 with grossly inflated amp ratings. Stick with authentic LG, Sony or Samsung from reputable (not eBay or Amazon) sources, great places that I get authentics from are -
Liion Wholesale Batteries | Li-ion battery distributor
Earth's #1 source for IMR 18650 Batteries, Chargers, Cases & Wraps | IMRbatteries.com
b. Stick well within Continuous Discharge Rate (CDR) Not the "pulse"
c. Keep up to date with what Mooch tests and battery ratings, follow his posts on Facebook and his Blog and only use his recommend batteries.
d. In Mod's with multiple batteries, marry them.
e. Get some battery wraps, they're cheap and easy to re-wrap batteries. Any nicks,tears or what ever don't be stupid and just re-wrap.
3. Don't build stupid low a good builder can chuck and get awesome dense vape from a good build. It's simple, with 20 CDR Amp batteries -
a. Single battery mod's you're fine with .2 ohms on up
b. Dual Parallel you're fine with .15 on up. Parallel you take the full CDR of one battery then add 1/2 the CDR of the next battery
c. Series you double the voltage but you share the amps . So a series you build high with a lot of wire mass no lower that .4 ohms.
4. Make sure you don't have any shorts. For an extra caution any new build I will vape on a regulated mod for a few drips or with a tank about a 1/4 tank. This is to insure nothing wonky with my build like shorts.
5. Careful if it's not in your hand, if it doesn't have a lock on the button and you pit it in your pocket (which I really don't recommend) insure nothing else is in your pocket and it's loose. Don't want to put it in your front pocket and blow your Johnson off ya know
6. Last but certainly NOT the least, keep it clean! Clean it when you first get it "before" you even use it and clean it on a regular basis.
a. Ultrasonics are a very good investment, got mine off Amazon for around $25.

What is the name of the Steam Engine app for Android? I cannot find it. I installed "Vape Tool."
vapeam?
Cannot be. There are just 100 downloads for that app.
The one I did download had like 100,000 downloads.
I think you set a record!That's funny, I do the exact same thing. iStick 30 and Nautilus Mini ALWAYS when I go out for mucho drinks. The expensive stuff stays home!
I learned my lesson 6 months ago in Nashville. I had a MiniVolt shipped to my hotel, took it out bar hopping and I lost it (or someone stole it). I owned the MiniVolt for a total of THREE HOURS!!
Nope.What? You're not falling for this guilt trip?

Well, maybe I shouldn't be doing what I do, so hold that phone call just in case you have two names to submit...BUT,
I check it with a pricier device, my ProVari
, and when the battery in the REO drops, I swap it to the ProVari, then put a fresh one in the Reo.Then, by the time the Reo needs another fresh one, I move the one out of the ProVari (usually at 3.4 or 3.5) to the charger.
That's how I've been cycling my batteries.
What do ya think?
Okay, or no?So you only have 2 batteries?Nope.
