Hi my names paul I have the new vaperesso target 75 VTC. I had over half a battery left and 1 minute I just picked it up and vaped. Then the next second everything just went off. Then I took the tank off the battery and pit the battery down. I then picked it back up 10 minutes after and the battery was really hot like it's going to blow up. I have just had to put it outside my doorstep. What shall I do?

Sounds like you hit a bad battery.

Get other batteries and retire it before it vents or explodes

Leave it there, watch and wait.
Approach with caution, remove and replace battery.
(I know... sounds sarcastic)
Seriously, you did the right thing. :)
Either your battery is bad or something went wrong. It's possible your battery wasn't any good in the first place of course.

Get a kanger kbox 200. All the power you could ever need, aluminum zinc construction and you can replace the batteries. I just got one myself. It's pretty great. Even has a day mode for the screen in case you do something weird like vape outside during daylight. Which apparently is weird to most vape companies.

Can't replace the battery. The battery inside the mod box. Iv gone outside to it. It's cold but it doesn't switch on. It was brand new aswell. I think I just need a new ecig. I want 1 that vapes a lot of smoke. Any ideas what I should get
Oh no... that's a shame.
Are you buying online or in a shop?

It's the imr 18650 3.7v 3000mah 40a battery
Stay away from second brands.. stick to actual real batteries that aren't 2nd tier rejects that are re-wrapped under a different brand.

Stick to LG, Samsung and Sony. and go for the 20A rated batteries, There's very few that go over 20A that truly does it (and even then, it's 25, some can reach 30 with pulsing, but even then, you're playing with fire).

40a battery
No it's not. There are no 18650s with a continuous discharge rating greater than 35 amps (and it's probably not even one of those). Where'd you get it? Can you take a picture? Otherwise, can you tell us what color it is, and everything it says on the battery itself?
