So I have a question on these safety bags/sleeves. Should I be charging any of my devices in there? Not only my Evod2, but also cell phones & such? I normally charge overnight, so is it safest to utilize these bags? I'll certainly make the investment to get more safety if that's what I need. I'm waiting on my innokin MPV2 to come in the mail, but now I think I may need to invest in some of these bags (1-2). Are some better than others?

To be honest, and I may be wrong, but those bags are intended for more, shall we say, risky charging set ups. If you buy a no name charger from fast tech for 2 $ and then you put your no name batteries from Fast Tech in there, then use a bag.
For the regulated devices like the MVP and Evod, you'll be fine. Your cell phone should be fine too. Mind you this is all unless your power board to your home is constantly shorting or getting by lightning

I personally do not like the bags for our purposes. A closed bag traps heat. Heat is a bad thing to trap in this case.
I keep my charger in the kitchen and when I load batteries into it, I set it inside of a big pot with no lid. This would contain any "explosions". Some people use crock pots or pyrex baking dishes.
I don't charge overnight, though. I suggest charging while you are awake and can react to any problems. Waking up to a loud band and possible fire just isn't how I'd like to wake up...

I agree with this. Those bags were intended to charge Lipo batteries, a different chemistry than we use. In that application, only the batteries go into the bag, the charger stays outside the bag to allow surrounding air to cool the charger.
For our application, charge on a flame-resistant surface. Stovetop, marble countertop, metal baking pan, or pyrex dish. Never charge when away from home. Remove batteries from the charger when fully charged, regardless whether you have a smart charger or not.

I agree most devices should be fine to charge without worry, it's the built in the basement devices that would warrant a fire bag, or open pot.
Heat held inside the bag is the problem with the LiPo bags. So they are not a good idea with 'safe chemistry' batteries. So it depends on what kind of battery you are using.
The cheap ego knockoff batteries that are everywhere these days have a known charging problem, so yes a bag would be a damn good idea with those.
The very fact that "LiPo bags" exist says a lot about LiPo battery chemistry. One good thump, and a LiPo cell can become unstable, and explode while charging.
BTW, the MVP-2 has a LiPo battery in it.

As do any of the mods that use a USB charger, including the iTaste VV3.
