Batterys Problem SMOK Alien 220w

[bubic351]

Hello all.
I am new here and want ti say "Hi".

I didnt use my vape 3 months ago.Yesterday i wanted to use it again,but for some reasons,it didnt want to turn off,recharging not aswell.
So i opened the thing where batterys are and saw one of them is like little bit burnt or something like that,and there was some kinda liquid (i guess from batterys).

I wanted to get new batterys,i cleaned the batterys storage,but i am afraid to put them and use again.What is the best way to clean everything inside where batterys go?

Thank you!

Hello and welcome to ECF!
There are people on here who know more about me when it comes to cleaning your contacts and battery tray up, maybe take it to your vape shop when you buy the new batteries. Your device is regulated so it keeps you fairly safe, BUT the one thing that is 100% on you, is battery safety. I would not consider using those batteries again, not a chance. If you think one has vented or has any damage at all, dispose of it properly and get a new set. In the future, if you are putting the mod to rest, take the batteries out and store them separately. I use a few of these to keep my married batteries safe.

Can you post a picture of the battery tray and more importantly the battery contacts in the device so that people can better advise you?

 

[sonicbomb]

Pictures would help.
Recycle the batteries, both of them. Clean the battery bay out with a little isotropyl alcohol.

I'm hoping you meant that you have those batteries ready to recycle and not just tossed in the trash

For Recycle ofc xd

*whew* I always get a wee bit nervous when someone says "trashed" or "tossed" or "thrown out" etc

Just out of curiosity, what batteries were you using which apparently vented? Make and model number?

Did your battery wraps have any holes or tears in them? This can short out a battery.

Those are 15 amp batteries, good for 45 watts each (90 watts tops using two).

Welcome and glad you joined.
I have provided a little more information which might help choosing/evaluating batteries.

What are the best baterry for Alien 220w ?

What are the best baterry for Alien 220w ?

Depends upon the wattage setting that you typically use. You have options:

Are you using a single, dual, or triple battery mod? In the interests of keeping things simple:

-If you use a good quality 15 amp CDR battery like the Samsung 30Q or Sony VTC6, then you are good up to 45 watts per battery; 90 watts using two; 135 watts for three batteries.

-If you use a good quality 20 amp CDR battery like the LG HG2 or Samsung 25R then you are good for 60 watts per battery. If using a 2-battery regulated mod, you're good for 120 watts as you have two batteries. If you are using a 3-battery mod, you're good for 180.

-If you use a single 25 amp CDR battery like the Sony VTC5A, then you are good for 75 watts per battery, 150 watts for two batteries, and 225 watts with three.

-If you use a single 30 amp CDR battery like the LG HB6 you are good up to 90 watts; with a pair of 30 amp CDR batteries you could safely do 180 watts.​

WATTAGE PER SINGLE BATTERY on REGULATED MOD:
(Total wattage doubles using 2 batteries; Triples using 3 batteries.)

Up to 45W:

Samsung 18650 30Q, 3000 mah 15 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC6 3000mAh 15 amp CDR

​

Up to 60W:

LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20 amp CDR

LG 18650HE4 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Sanyo UR18650NSX, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC5, 2600 mah 20 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC4, 2100 mah 23 amp CDR

Up to 75W:

LG 18650 HD4 2100 mah 25 amp CDR

LG 18650 HD2 2000 mah 25 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-24S, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR

Sony 18650VTC5A, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR

​

Up to 90W:

LG18650HB6 1500mah 30 amp CDR

LG18650HB2 1500mAh 30 amp CDR

LG18650HB4 1500mAh 30 amp CDR

Samsung 18650-20S 2000mah 30 amp CDR

​

I assume that you are not vaping over 180 watts even though your mod allegedly can make 220 watts. If you are only vaping at 30 watts, you won't need two 30 amp batteries as that would be overkill. You'd benefit more by using a higher mah battery for longer battery time. You get my drift?

I am using 2 batterys,

I don't know what happened either. Assuming that the liquid in the battery compartment was not e-liquid, it must have been electrolyte that spewed from a venting battery. Now the question becomes, what caused the battery(s) to vent?

My first thought is your using a SMOK battery device. SMOK doesn't have the best reputation for reliability or quality control. They are one of the few manufacturers who had to do a recall of an entire line of mods (SMOKtech Groove) because of reports of spontaneous fires and/or explosions a few years back. Believed to be from poor product design or sloppy manufacturing techniques.

I personally would never use a SMOK product, but I admit that I am biased based on SMOK's dubious past history.

I asked you earlier if your batteries had holes or tears in their wraps which could have caused a short circuit. See below video.
