With all the recent talk about battery I was curious is there such a thing as a drop in fuse ? I'm talking about a fuse ;or other safety device, like a collapsible spring; that could simply be dropped into something like an 18650 tube mod without any soldering or anything else involved. So does anything like this exist ?

I really doubt your going to find something like that out there. Even if you designed and made one, the added thickness is going to cause problems with most tube mods. Really a fuse or fuse type device needs to be built into the mod itself.
I would also like more info about adding hot springs and/or some type of fuse - I do altoids mods not tube mods, so I have extra room if I go unregulated - so thanks for starting this thread Beaverkt. There is not a whole lot of actual info about how to add these things to mods or which ones to use. Does anybody have a link to a suitable hotspring and/or fuse?
Adding a PTC resettable fuse / aka polyswitch to a mod when building would be ideal. You can get them pretty small as they come in SMD packages.Here is a link to one sold @ digikey that has a 2.6 amp hold current and 5 amp trip current. Once tripped it just needs to cool down for a little bit and it resets itself Digi-Key - MINISMDC260FCT-ND (Manufacturer - MINISMDC260F-2)
They come it a few different styles

Thanks Java, I'm pointed in the right direction now I think. I've seen them referenced, but not really discussed. I think there should be a sticky in the batt mod section about this stuff, what with battery safety being stressed as of late.
