Just had the Kingston vape meet last night and thanks to this post and a very generous vendor, in the spirit of battery safety there were free battery cases available for anyone who wanted one.
I had no idea this could happen with the battery just jangling around in a pocket. No wonder the start kits all come with that crappy fake-leather sleeve.I'm still deciding on the best kind of case for carrying all my stuff. I'll have to remember to make sure nothing touches each other when it's closed.
nothing puts the fear of jehova in people like a burned up pair of tighty-whiteys.
That's correct nebulas. A genuine AW IMR battery (LiMn, not Li-Ion) cannot vent with flame. And it takes a much higher temperature than with Li-Ion batts to get an AW IMR to vent at all. In which case, it would simply vent gases. Venting AW IMRs are very, very rare...and if it happens, it cannot vent with flame.
So you're safe with AW IMR. For best results, use one in a single-battery device which is also vented. And of course, make sure you're buying genuine AW IMR's...if in doubt, you can always contact AW directly on the Candlepowerforums to see if your source is an authorized AW reseller. Note: you do need to register with the forum to send PM's there etc.

You've got to be careful! One time i had a short at one of my e-pipes and smoke came out but fortunately i used imr batteries, and so no explosion!

Thanks! Yes, I have always been extra cautious with my batteries. When looking at mods I always look first for single battery operation, vent hole, and short circuit protection which is why I have a Provari and I only buy batteries from Provape because I know I can trust they are selling the real deal.
I have also been planning to upgrade my charger for about the last year for safety reasons. This story reminded me how dangerous batteries can be and motivated me to order that Pila charger.
What type of battery was it? Ive recently bought a mod requiring 18350's, How long will a pair last me? will i need spares in the day?

Note the AW IMR is dead shorted for almost 14 min , they dont explode

James I gave you the answers to those questions buddy
Batts of any type shouldn't be carried loosely in your pockets, purses, anywhere and should be kept in the small plastic cases they sell for dirt cheap, period, the cases stop them from coming in contact with anything that could complete a circuit as well as protects the outer wrapper.
