Honestly, before the sh......t storm hit....

I knew nothing about safety, variable voltage, stacked or singular batteries nor possible failures. Since reports about safety (justifiably so), I've learned a great deal about proper measures that should be included in devices for vaping. Flashlights, power tools, etc. are really quite different than push button mods, utilizing power (amps) for a specific time frame achieving desired voltages.

What I am most impressed with is the fact that Mike and his team have analyzed this from the start of design and implemented those safety features before production. As a "noob" and a non-electronics user, I would have no idea between a flashlight with 3 stacked batteries versus a mod with a dry cell battery.

I think we all need to recognize and applaud Mike for his attention to detail of safety...before running production and keeping safety at the forefront of his design.

It is only after the fact that I realize just how wonderful it is that I came upon the Notcig's family first before going with substandard, boost..rah rah systems. The many here who have provided intrinsic information about the differences between buck regulation vs. boost have opened my understanding.

Mike, simply put........thank you.....I for one am very appreciative for smart people like you. Your efforts DO NOT go unnoticed.

I did nothing but read on ECF for 2 mo. before I bought an Ecig or joined. I learned a lot before I started then I started building mods. I still have boxes of parts and electronics from going through that faze. Then I hoked up with notcig and I've been here ever since. They have the best ecigs on the market. A lot of folk tried to copy them and put on frills but they aren't as safe and don't work as well.

Nicely said and I couldn't agree more. And I have some major experience with recharchable batteries under lots of time under some very SERIOUS loads and adverse conditions. I have also learned tons via this experience about the ecig industry, the CRAP I see some vendors selling and the quality of workmanship, thoughtfulness in engineering that goes into notcigs products and lack thereof in others.

as I said before I am in construction. I know quality tools. The Pro's from notcigs are good, quality tools IMHO. One the engineering side, one of my favorite gripes is I can make anything work on paper and make it fit. As foreman and installer of said product, I have always said when I grow up I am gonna be an engineer cause they are never wrong...:rolleyes: I have seen time and time again where things have been so over thought to the point of ludacricy that the design simply won't work! Then they come to me and ask me to fix it.

I am not knocking engineers or architects. I respect their job. But the big difference is in passion and dedication to the product. This is where Notcigs really shines for me. They believe in their product, and it shows. It performs and does what it is supposed to with no hassle.

As far as cordless tools. Go and take apart a junk battery and look at what is in side. Want to talk about stacked batteries? How about STACKS of batts?

1st, thank ALL of you for the support !!!!!

tsb you bring up a VERY good point about the batteries in tools they are Series and Parallel circuits , the worst of both worlds if you like ( Btw so is a laptop battery !!! ) so If it were the batteries that were at fault in these cases we would have seen TONS of TOOLS BLOW UP !! This is not that case .

ECF IMO got it all wrong , they needed to ISOLATE the UN protected mods from the Protected mods , they did not and it cost us plenty.
An unprotected Mod is a dangerous thing , the batteries can DEAD short in many of them , this is why we never made one !! this creates the conditions for a battery out gassing , a Sealed case is the other condition needed .

On both accounts we have had safety built into our devices , any Company that has any idea of what LIABILITY IS will go this route.

Not to mention IT IS SAFER FOR YOUR CUSTOMER.
