Battery with vent holes, anyone knows one?

[MyLibary]

I have heard that ego cigarettes get explode in case of failure of battery or charger.
In this case the battery release gases and when the pressure is huge its get exploded.

Now, what if i create battery with holes in the tank of the battery? maybe at the bottom?
It will prevent totally explode mod and will turn it to melting mod only?

It is really important to me to know.

Also, what about IMR batteries, do they never explode? only melting?

You want to drill a hole into a wrapped lithium ion battery, that more than likely is still carrying a charge?

Please don't. There are a number of select words I could say, just not on this forum to describe my feelings for that idea and it just sounds terrible. The battery would probably explode while you're drilling it, if not immediately after, or the second you put it in a charger.

Not holes in the battery it self, in the battery house (where the battery located)

I see! If they fail; which there is a very slim chance they will, Li-ion batteries have a chance of either exploding on their own accord or venting, causing pressure and in-turn making the battery housing explode.

Nothing you do to the holder or area you hold the battery in, will effect what the battery does, it will only effect what the enclosure the battery is in does.

For instance, the Silver Bullet mod has two vent holes beneath the button. I have seen and there is a video for you to see on youtube, if you want, a Silver Bullet short out and vent through the button. What hole you drill, how big it is and where does not effect whether a battery melts, explodes or simply vents because that's all on the battery, not the location of it.

I believe that is why ECF started their battery hole guideline. As you can probably tell by the newest Buzz Pro iteration, the venting areas are far larger than previous models so that even in the event of an explosion, the mod might hold up and simply vent it out but if the battery merely vents, you have nothing to worry about because there is more than enough room for it to.

Most box mods don't even need to be considered for venting, because they aren't air-tight to begin with and in the event of an explosion, it would probably take the entire mod with it but as far as venting is concerned, you have no real worry as the boxes have plenty of cracks and holes for air to escape from.

It isn't something I would worry yourself over. Normal e-cigs like egos have adequate protection against battery failure and larger mods are normally built with proper venting in case of battery failure. You have more of a chance of winning the lottery and immediately being struck by lightning on July 4th 2013 than you do having your battery explode if it is properly protected.

We are talking about all Ego's?
Since i order from manuafactor which located in china

Or yo uare talking about vendoors ego's such as joyetech?

Also there is any provider that supply IMR batteries for ego?
Again im asking and i know im little bit stressted, is IMR only melting and dont explode?

I'm wondering if we aren't having a bit of language barrier. A run of the mill ego, the battery is one piece and isn't in a case or tube. I've never heard of any of them exploding. If you are talking about a tube mod with removable batteries, and just calling it an "ego", then yes, depending on the mod, you may wish to add vent holes. The best way to vent a tube designed to hold replaceable bats is to drill three completely symmetrical holes (120 degrees apart). Do not drill an ego bat.

So ego's is one piece i get it.

But there is some company that built some IMR batteries suitable for eGo kits?

MyLibrary, don't worry about eGo. I never heard about real exposions. Boards sometimes get burnt, accumulator cells get dead, but no explosions.
About mods protected from explosions. This is old and widely used idea - to make battery housing with a weak bottom to prevent explosion. When I make my own power supplies for vaping, I always develop them this way.
About IMRs. They can explode too, but with sufficiently less possibility. For standard eGo - I don't know such IMRs. But you can consider, say, this :
Joyetech logo eGo-T battery MOD tube - Joye eGo-T spare parts Heaven Gifts
Joyetech eGo-T 2 upgrade battery MOD control unit - Joye eGo-T spare parts Heaven Gifts

With these two parts you can use a standard 18650 IMR cell.
