Well a HH atomizer shorted using that battery , nothing happends
when in my post i told him (rocketman) or other people to use that battery ? i just say thats what i use regarding the little talking about single batterys (protected or not) , never heard of problems with these batterys or other "quality" cells around so the failure rate is way down i guess ; if you feel a bit safe with protected batterys they sell in that website the same cell with "extra protection" for just 1 dollar more
those are the best 18650 at these date FOR ME.
Scare ? why man ? the same chances of these doing harm are the same you have , probably my chances are better than the cells you use.
You are quite correct (of course) that you were not making a blanket statement that the batteries should be used by anyone. It's pretty easy to read as an endorsement however - I think anyway.
That's really the part that is "scary" to me; Saying you scare me was just a bit dramatic
I apologize if that offended you.
IMO, it is a bit irresponsible of anyone to point out that they use an "unprotected battery" in (what I understand) is a purely mechanical tube mod without any sort of additional protection, and without qualifying how or why it is safe to do so. Unless my head's been on backwards for the last however many pages (could be!), the general consensus is that this is not a good idea, particularly in a tube. Aside from your one experience with a short (phew!) do you know of any information supporting your choice do to this as a wise one?
Your post, to me anyway, may imply that them being unprotected doesn't matter, Or at least that your opinion is that this aspect of the batteries' features is to be disregarded as something necessary or even useful.
Now, if you had included information about how these particular batteries are safer due to their heat resistance layer offering protection against shorts, well, then you'd have shared something indicating what is special about
these particular batteries, and at least someone would have a clue that it's not OK to use just any "unprotected battery" should they start seeing others saying "I use bla bla
unprotected battery too! no issue!"
Yes, everyone has their own responsibility to themselves to get accurate and complete information and that's not your responsibility. I would just suggest that you please try to be as thoughtful as you can about how you share information about what is clearly a dangerous subject.
ETA: Guess what I just realized? Re-reading my own post, particularly concerning the heat resistant layer, I'm kinda doing what I was trying to recommend others to avoid. HA! OK, well, disclaimer then: I don't know if these are safe for vaping
I simply don't know enough about them. FWIW, there is an otherwise identical protected version of these as well. The heat resistant layer only mentions offering added protection against overheating due to shorts which certainly is a plus, but nothing about over-discharge nor over-charging.
