If the OP cannot manage to carry a battery safely , he stands a significantly lower chance of using a mechanical mod safely .
Seems you don't understand the implications either !
Or did I just catch you at an "off" moment

not going to lie, I had to google this... Seems you are the first person in the history of the internet to use that anagram. Congrats!!!

Glad I saw this thread, got some 3400mAh batteries coming in and wouldn't have thought about that. A plastic case sounds like a ticket to rattling everywhere you walk though. If I have to pocket them while out, I'll probably wrap them individually in tissue; disposable, can blow my nose if I have to, and readily available at the nearest bathroom!
Tissue easily rips. Use scotch tape if you're desperate. Electrical tape, if in a jam. Properly, the plastic box.
This isn't a joke; these batteries can really pack a punch. Ever see a screwdriver short a car battery? It melts, and I don't mean the battery!!!
Tissue won't do it unless you use lots and lots.
Getting a proper case will save you money, grief and maybe some body parts in the long run .
If you can find some of the old film cases for like 35 mm film or what have you.. They would work perfectly. Maybe a little tissue or electrical tape shim to stop the rattling.
I should add the plastic ones.. not the even older metal ones.
I Kinda like that warming sensation I get when carrying batteries and loss change in my pocket.
I thought it was static electricity are you telling me that’s not a good thing?

Cut a little piece of foam to fit, buy a soft battery carrying case, or use your ingenuity and craft one out of some kind of (non-metallic) container. Tissue paper won't cut it, and I wouldn't even trust scotch tape to be a good enough insulator.
So what have we learned from this thread?
That a vaper who has been around here and fairly active in his short stay is still unaware of the most basic battery safety.
And that is not on him, as many would like to think.
That is on us.

That is on us.
What I learned from this thread is that there are three types of people that respond to people that ask a question:
1.) Those that answer you (They respectfully highlight the dangers and give you a solution)
2.) Those that also find the answer useful (Glad this post helped another person too)
3.) Those that highlight how little you know, and how superior they are on the subject (Often used through sarcasm, self righteousness, shaming).
I just hope the third group doesn't deter people from posting. Because despite being unaware, I do want to know and educate myself otherwise I wouldn't be the type of person on a forum searching and asking questions. I'm just afraid of the ones that don't ask, because of the off putting way people respond to a question.

And the many suppliers' that won't sell the cases when the sell the batts.
AW IMR is a pretty good battery. It could have been a lot worse from what I was lead to believe with all the Apocalypse warnings from shorts.
We are human. We will make mistakes. Best to take precautions to try and minimize those mistakes.
I am sure the OP was not the first to that.
I harshly point out the facts, I always try to be accurate.
After a short time on vaping forums, it became clear that the spread of inaccurate and too-often dangerous info is sometimes unstoppable .
So perhaps I have been driven to my cynical level, but I still try to spread the facts about.
If the OP doesn't understand the batteries and conductors in the simplest of terms, it is far from wise for him to use a mechanical mod.
Yes it is a cynical message, but is accurate.
Can't blame me, I have been told RTFM and refuted enough times that I now have a laugh to myself when I post advice or warnings .
Do you want prediction of the future ?
Some ...... is gong to buy a mech mod because it is cheap, looks so smexy and everyone is talking about them.
Then proceed to burn off their bollox, or house down (killing people), and big tobacco are just gonna love that.
