Battery Safety with GGTS

[Jet]

Hi All,

Lately I've been seeing a lot of information on battery safety posted on the forum and it's started to make me wonder about my own configuration. I've never really thought about this before as the GGTS is designed to use any configuration and I also have the safety fuse fitted. I normally vape at 6.0 v and have been using 2 UltraFire TR15270 800mAh 3.0 v batteries and in fact I've just order a couple more sets. I also sometimes vape at 7.2v for which I use 2 TrustFire 16340 880mAh 3.6v Li-ion batteries. I guess I'm just wondering if this is a sensible thing to do. Your thought would be appreciated.

Thanks Jet.

I am by no means the most battery-educated person around ECF. But I'm uncomfortable with stacking, and I have heard very mixed reviews about the UltraFire batteries and how safe they really are.

I've heard much better things about the LifePO4's, which you could use instead for high voltage vaping. You may want to look into that.

If you have the fuse attached on GGTS then no reason to worry about anything Jet

I only vape higher voltages, only 2 of my units have fuse protection and I have more standard protected Li-ion batts that I run in them than safer chemistry ones. I don't worry about running them in a series, people do it all the time with flashlight mods

Any time you stack batteries, it becomes less safe than using a single cell. How much "less safe"? Well, that depends. It depends on the type of battery, the chemistry, the drain, the condition, the age etc, etc, etc. There are usually warning signs that a battery may fail, but not always. I've been vaping almost a year and started with 6v+ virtually from day 1. I have had no problems. Be wary of your mod and respectful of what can happen if you are careless and you'll be fine. If you're buying new batteries, get AW's. Not because they are safer chemistry, but because the current draw is amazing...and it's a safer chemistry.
