Word on the street is Tesla has 2000 18650s in one of their battery packs. Their new model is going to use 26650s. It would be hilarious if the FDA had the ability to restrict battery use. I guess we would have to buy 18650 flashlight batteries or steal them out of Teslas.;DAnd this is how they finally kill off all ecigs even if we get the predicate date changed. Simply deem all battery systems as dangerous. Everything current would fail to pass (making a date change moot) and any changes to the battery system would be a PMTA.
Paranoid? Maybe but sometimes they really are out to get you.

Yep. I had to read that title twice too.
With "life" being as dangerous as it is... it's probably best if we all just stay inside. Under our beds. Until we die.

Fixed. Thanks Zoid!I think your Quote was Mis-Linked.
Because I Didn't post this.
The Model S has more like 7000 18650s.Word on the street is Tesla has 2000 18650s in one of their battery packs. Their new model is going to use 26650s.

Thought it was the 20700's like I am using now.The Model S has more like 7000 18650s.
The Model 3 will be using a new size: 21700.
I read every new ecig injury accident story I come across. Virtually all of them involve loose batteries with unprotected terminals or mishandled mech mods. The purpose of the workshop is to spread fear and make political points and reach no conclusions while people continue to get hurt. Then they can say drastic action is necessary because the problem is so intractable. Warning the public is sufficient. They'll never do that because it might work.
Everything I can find on it says 2170(0).. Have you measured the diameter of you cells?Thought it was the 20700's like I am using now.
Yep. Seems like they are seeking further "justification" to refuse to approve PMTAs to any open system components -- assuming anyone is actually willing to submit them.Sounds to me like a prelude to non modifiable closed system ecigs only.
I am speechless. I went right to my Chinese knock-off and looked to see if a dead short could happen even with the wrap removed. And they did it right. It is all plastic surrounding the positive contact. There are 21 pictures of the flashlight on 'USA Today.' Flashlight explodes in Colo. man's mouthFlashlight explodes in Colo. man's mouth

Yes those of us that already have gear to put the batterys in would find a way to carry on. The issue is that If they deem all current ecig batterys too dangerous all existing systems could no longer be sold without a change to the batterys. Any change to the batterys would require a new PMTA. SO in essence even if we got the grandfather date changed everything would still need a PMTA since it would have been deemed unsafe due to the battery. Game over ecigs off the market. No new people stopping smoking via ecigs.Word on the street is Tesla has 2000 18650s in one of their battery packs. Their new model is going to use 26650s.
