...You should have guessed it by now. The issue with these "18650"'s is coming back to haunt me (and probably everybody else), again. Last time I had a regular Sigelei 150 that did not know how not to ruin your battery sleeves, and after a while, almost lost the house too! lol. Don't care for the batteries that much, could always just buy nothing but DNA 200 mods for my devices. lol. Good idea actually!

Because, recently, opposed to the Samsung 25R's I used long ago in my Sigelei, I have 5 different mods now, most of them using VTC4's, because they are 200 watts? How am I going to hold that kind of power without the proper amps to back it up? You tell me, go figure.... But you won't believe it, it could just be the one particular mod I am using, if that's what you think it is, please say so!

But nonethe lest, the batteries I am using are getting what LOOKS like burn marks, like on one pair of batteries, I have to admit, it looks almost like a stain, but it is damn messed up, pretty well, not too bad, because like I said it just looks like a stain. Almost like I could probably scratch it off, like some kind of dust, but remember, it is not dust, it looks like it has burnt the sleeve, but again, there is no damage to the sleeve, it just looks like it has a stain on it or something. The other pair of batteries isn't half as bad, but again, I must admit, it looks pretty well stained up. I am using these batteries with just one mod, two pair of batteries, all 4 pretty screwed up, I'm kind of afraid that they might catch fire, like you know, last time. When I went to take the batteries out of the sigelei and didn't know they might "ignite a spark?"...... Yeah.....

So, here I am again, unsure if or not we'll lose the whole house and home, but this time I have you guys to ask, since I so kindly introduced myself about a year back from now. Hopefully you'll have something to say, too, I mean, for example like, it being a problem with just the gasses escaping from the batteries, and it maybe losing a bit of its durability, or well I don't know! Just something. It could though be a very severe issue, like they are draining way too fast (these batteries are new! and I got them from liionwholesale! The mod is brand new too!), and maybe they are acting up, and you know, they just gotta go! Maybe "experiment around with another mod"? That should work right? Well, I'm kind of clueless here guys, and without anything to go on, I would just ask the store clerk at my local vape store, but that would take ages because we don't go there too often and the people although helpful would be a pain to ask. I mean it is an option, but it's just not something I'm too proud of doing.

Maybe you know what's wrong? I would insert a picture with a close up of these batteries, all 4 of them, but I just ain't that kind of person? Maybe you guys know what to say here. I'll just let you take it away....

You really need to type less and hit the point.

What you are seeing is normal Changes in the wraping(Plastic) from expansion and contraction......at a different rate than the Metal casing of the Battery.
Some condensation May, at times, get trapped under the Plastic sleeve.

Not an Issue.

What mod are you using the batteries on? A Sigelei?

I had a Sigelei 30 set to 8 watts that hit as hard ot hardee than my eVic vtc mini hit at 3 times the wattage. I had it burn mh cotton wicks at 8 watts on my old Goblin mini. On my Coolfire 4, istick60tc i vsped my Goblin Mini at 15-17.5 for weeks and NEVER burned the wick.

You may have a problem with your mod.

don't feed the troll my friends...ignore function utilized.

OP wants to vape 0.001ohms at 300 watts and complains about battery failure


Good advice but it is a little like watching a National Geographic special when the herd is thinned. Yeah its not pretty but you watch anyways. Some members of the herd can't be saved so deep down you at least hope they offer an entertaining exit. We have our candidate.

LOL in another thread, he kept calling me a liar cause I use a regulated mod and can regulate to watts.

1.2ohm at 50w! must be magic!
I saw that. You're obviously a wizard or something. Can I apprentice under you? I can't seem to get above 8 watts on a 1.2 ohm coil. :rolleyes:

"How to troll someone on the internet" was obviously on someone's reading list. Of course, the bait would be more appealing if it were a little more cogent and followed some sort of structure...
