Batteries- - Nipple or flat head, does it really matter?

[rzil]

is the nipple any safer or better than flat?

Some mods have been designed to prevent reverse insertion of the battery by building a little nub that the battery nipple goes into. Without that nipple, the mod wouldn't fire, because it wouldn't make contact.

My provari has it, for example. Because I imagine that reversing the polarity through the circuit board would be a bad deal.

In a mechanical mod, it shouldn't really matter. You hear the center post referred to as the positive pin, but atomizers don't have polarity, and mechanical mods don't really either.

So the answer to your question is.... It depends.

It matters in some applications. Obviously flat batteries can't be stacked. Basically they are the same, but I always defer to the manufactures recommendations. There's a battery thread that has all you ever wanted to know about batteries and then some.

From a Safety perspective, there is No Difference (for Better or Worse) between a Flat Top or a Nipple Top Battery.

It more gets down to Will a Flat Top work in your Mod/Charger.

This is on point.
It's a "fit" issue.

My e lvt only takes flat top batteries kinda sucks because most all of my other mods take button tops or I should say can use them I think all e cigs should use button tops so that there is no issues with reverse polarity

Lol but I also think all mods should have the atty direct on the batty but I dont see that happening
