Ok so before I start, let me point out that I'm what seems to be a ECF Veterant with less than 100 post lol. I'm pretty much only on here in and out keeping track of new vendors and coupon codes. I never generally ask for help or opinions simply because I'll google, buy and try one of everything that comes out (except mods), but this time I need you "mod" users advise. Heres the background of my situation...
I've pretty much tried every battery/atty/cart/tank combo I can think of. Minis, superminis, 901, 801, 510, 306, eGos you name it, and every time the same thing happens. I buy a kit, suits me for 3-4 weeks then I go back to analogs for a month or 2, look up on ECF and buy the new best thing, wash rince repeat. Every kit I bought ended up being given to friends to fiddle with, or straight in the garbage. I always knew mods where around, but I couldn't see myself walking around with a dildo sized unit back then (no offence). I enjoy vaping, with all the flavors and health benefits, but nothing chucks out the vapor I really need or is too time consuming and I keep going back to tobacco. Dripping on LR 510s came darn close but was such a hassle I only did it at home and eventually left it behind. Vapor wise, I would be fine if I didn't make reactions to VG but that's another story.
Mods seemed like the only way left for me to try. So last week I started "youtubing" my way around checking what's new and I kept seeing and hearing 1.5omhs dual coils, dual coils cartos and tanks. Honestly, looking at a mod with a tank changed my perspective completely. I think it looks wickedly sexy and could be the best setup I could ever possibly get. Grab, puff, hassle free. So dumb old me clicks on buy now. SS DCT from map, couple of 1.5DCC, new charger and an AW IMR 14500 for the only mod I have laying around ATM here, but never really used, a BB.
Now...call me a ......, a redneck whatever, but other than trowing them in an open fire, I've never heard, seen or known batteries could go pop boom out of the blue. I've never even questioned batteries in the 3 years I've vaped. Now after I got all this stuff coming in the mail, I start hitting links too battery fires, explosions and one guys jaw and teeth being knocked out from mods. I did read all of the "Battery Safety" thread from this forum (twice), and one thing that concerns me the most is: I seriously don't have time to watch the batts as they are charging and monitor them with a multimeter every hour in a bunker outside my house for safety. The idea of a mod for me was something like a silver bullet, that would last me all day, slap it in the charger at bed time and grab them when I leave in the morning. I seriously don't want to put anyone in the house at risk because of my gizmos though, and I'm having second thoughts about using a mod now.
Do you guys really monitor your charges and use a multimeter constantly? Could I somehow setup a safe way to charge the batteries while I'm sleeping/not around? Maybe mods are not for a careless person like me? I'm pretty ruff with my gear and I'm concerned mostly about the others living here. My mind is kinda confused at this point and I feel like a total nooblet all over again lol. I'm practically only at home to wash, shave and sleep. How can I safely work this out guys?

) and check your intial charge and randomly check them. That's all I do...I charge mine on my kitchen island, but only when I'm awake and in the house, but other than that, I don't do anything special. I've had one battery fail in 2 years of vaping. It became discolored around the positive end and put off a bad odor...that's it.
