Batteries in mods at night?

[Fidola13]

do people take out the batteries from their mods at night? I have 5-7 mods in my daily rotation and have never thought to take all those batteries out for the night. I do make sure all the mods are shut down.

Reason I ask is because there is a thread started by someone’s mod vented in the middle of the night and now everyone is posting their opinions.

I kinda forgot about my Joytech pen that leaked overnight and started autofiring and venting. Fortunately I was sitting there when it happened. I’d guess I left it on as well.

So I’m curious as to what others are doing regarding battery/mod safety when not in use for 8-10 hours.

If I had to take all of my batteries out of all my mods every night and put them back in in the morning, I'd never get to sleep. That said, some mods will drain batteries... Even when shut off...

I don’t. The only thread I’ve seen like that is one that is a year or two old, and involved someone leaving an AIO SMOK mod to charge on USB overnight. Got links?

Do you take the battery out of your cell phone at night?

Didn't think so.

It never occurred to me to take all the batteries out. I'm lucky if I remember to turn them off. And I know I leave a few on overnight because I wake up frequently and vape. Either I've been lucky or it's OK to leave them in overnight.

Never take my batteries out, or turn them off. For a while I got into the habit of turning them off when I was using Sigelei 30's. Once in a while the screen would stay on at the dim setting overnight until the battery ran down to 2 volts. Lost a few batteries that way. I threw them out when I got an iStick and a Provari.

No. But I’ll do it if I’m leaving town for a while.

That being said I never keep attys on mods I’m not using.

That is a very good question. Some might say that we need protected and there should be regulations. Others, on the other hand, might say that the owner themself is responsible.

Their is a real conundrum there and how we answer it says a lot about us.

I suspect most people will be in the middle.

I just turn them off. Half my mods have internal batteries anyway. In fact most my mods that have removable betteries never get them taken out and get charged by usb. Iv never had an issue and 2 of the mods are 1 1/2 years old with both them and the batteries still going strong.

This OP was made 5 hours ago and no replies. Looks like a drive by except the poster is an ecf veteran.
I dunno.

If I am not sure about a mod, or know it's a drainer.. Yes!
My normal work a day mods always have batteries in them.

My Snorting Boar 11.1 volt mod gets the battery pulled as it drains it pretty badly.
My Think Vape Thor has the batteries removed cause I don't trust it.

Batteries stay in my eleaf Pico's (25's, Squonk and 21700's) as well as my DNA75 and 200 and in my PMW builds.

I have a few built-in battery mods, so it's not under my control. Maybe remove tanks / pods?
I'm not sweating this one. Stuff that wakes me up at night involves the loo or the cat, and either explodes!

That’s what I’m talking about! Taking out and storing all those batteries seems ridiculous. I suppose I could keep fewer mods in my daily rotation but I love having so many options. Ive turned into a very spoiled vaper lol!!

Not sure why you respond like this to my post. I’m on ECF daily so I’m most certainly not a drive by.

That’s a good idea. I’d have never thought of that. Thanks!!

This is what I’m saying.

I use to leave all mine on as well but lately I’m trying to get in the habit of turning them all off even the one next to my bed.

Ever see those news articles about exploding vapes and think "not going to happen to me..." I did... : electronic_cigarette

Anything I vape regularly (all regulated) batts (18650's) stay in and they stay turned on.

When I was vaping mech tube mods I would unscrew the tube a bit so the button couldn't make contact, even if the mod had a locking switch. I left the battery in my Reo.

If I'm not going to use a mod for about a week, I take the batts out. Same for phones, laptops, tools, anything with removable batteries. If any battery operated device gives me any sense there might be a problem with it the batts come out unless I'm working on it.
