Battery wrap smell?

[sawlight]

The V2.5, not sure which version you have, will do 5 volts max and might fire down to a .8 ohm coil, some will, some won't.
So 5v at .8 is a 6.25a load. But as the battery should see it, even at 3.2v it's a 4a load. Either way, you aren't taxing these batteries very hard, no where near their CDR, so the likely hood of a Provari pushing a battery to vent is slim to none.

Provari V1 = 3.3v ~ 6v, 2.5a
V2 = 2.9v ~ 6v, 3.5a
V2 vs V2.5 = cosmetic difference only.

No telling what the actual CDR of the cell under the efest wrap is.
Could be 1.5a could be 8a.

Efest is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're gonna get.

Even without drawing to much power to force a battery to vent doesn't mean it can't fail internally or be shorted and vent. I have seen posts about experienced users who had batteries vent and melted a Regulated mod.

True, but I'd bet there were some extenuating circumstances that led to those failures, mismatched batteries etc.
I also understand and agree, with the shadiness of Efest batteries. But in this instance, having to put your nose in the mod to get the faintest wiff, I don't see this as a battery venting.

True @sawlight and the smell the OP describes made me think it might be the e-liquid.

There is a fellow in another forum asking what is unsafe about how he doesn't marry any of his batteries and continuously will make them 2 or 3 sets to use in different MODs. He has 14 batteries he charges externally.

Gave up trying to reason with the wall over there.

Yeah, we can't help them all and people wonder how they end up on the news?
