wow.. good thing the person, or people around were okay!!!
Clone, or authentic, they are both equally susceptible of blowing up due to
a lack of knowledge in the safety department...
I think we should all be glad it didnt seriously injure someone, because that would
probably make it on the news as: "Why vaping is dangerous: PIPE BOMBS"

LG has some green ones too...

Quickly searched a couple pages through of results on google and I can't find any 26650 LG cells at all. I don't think 26650 LG batteries even exist. I of course could be wrong, but ya think it would have come up somewhere before the fifth page of results or so...

The green has got to be Sony. Either the real deal, knockoffs, or these shady green batteries I just found on Ebay with my search, but the tint of green in the pick is real "matchy matchy" with Sonys.

I don't think there's a problem with the community at large being concerned about safety - and the issue of counterfiet / mislabeled batteries is huge and it affects more than ecigs - but it's an issue of whether or not an incident like this is going to hurt the vaping industry and become a tool for ANTZ?

Cause heat never changed the tint of anything before? I'm not saying they aren't, I am just saying until it's released what exactly they were, it's possible they were anything.

Judging by the explosion, they would seem to be ICR, possibly relabeled as Sony IMR high amp, and used improperly.
But that's just my guess.

Could be, or maybe the impact of the hot, venting battery hitting the hard floor in the mod would have caused it to go off. I've dropped my K100 a couple of times and dented the negative end of my battery from the button post hitting it.

It's not likely to cause injury. All batteries are dangerous by definition.

The thing is most of our ohm readers have a +/- 0.15 margin of error on a good day. That means your 0.25 ohm coil could be 0.10 ohm and a 0.15 reading could be a dead short.

Is your battery really a 30 A battery or a 20 A copy?

Is your mod one that has arcing issues (would you even know until you super sub-ohm it?)?

These things accumulate, call them stacking errors that just get worse with each error.

The super sub-ohm thing is dangerous, period.
