Guilty Admission

[Fidola13]

After almost 3 years of vaping I have some how managed to NOT rewrap a battery.

I’ve read about here. I’ve watched super easy vids. I even bought a colorful 300 ct pack that is more than I’ll need in my life time. I just liked the colors and organizer. My therapist would love this. So, If anyone wants some DM me. I don’t need 300! I probably should pick up some 21700s.

So that’s it. I feel like an imposter. I need to rewrap my own batteries. What else is on the Sara’s Real Vapers Checklist? Well that felt carthetic. Thanks for the support !!!!

You can look at your wrap stockpile as part of the long term stash, put it away and ignore it unless you have no other choice.

Before you bury them in the back yard, maybe add a pack of insulators...

I've wrapped 2 in over 10 years but only because the batts were visible in the mod.

I bought some wicked superheroes 18650 battery wraps from FT a couple of years ago. I have about 10 different super hero styles which were great for rewrapping.
I ended up using two of the same hero for each married/paired set so they could not be mixed up.

Within 24 hours of a posting I made similar to yours, I had to rewrap 4 ........ also after about 3 years

That's a great idea!

That's a great idea!

I used to keep my paired sets in dual battery cases but ended up having so many batteries that it was getting a bit unmanageable. I saw the wraps on FT and thought perfect. Now I cant get them mixed up because the paired set are two of a kind.

Fraud! What vaper makes it three years without having to rewrap a battery?

That makes me feel like a right klutz. I can't make it more than a few months without rewraping a battery. Has anyone else noticed that they seem to come in clusters? Whenever I rewrap one battery, all the rest get envious of its shiny new coat and sprout scratches left and right just so they can get one too.

I do the Same thing (kinda) to keep track of my 18650's.

Sony Green for High Amp CDR Batteries.
Electric Blue for Medium Amp CDR Batteries (for my On-the-Go Mods).
Gloss Black for Flashlights.

BTW - I ran these for awhile before I went Tri-Colour.

18650 Battery Wraps - 10pcs - 100 Dollar Bill

BTW2 - 26650 Battery Wraps can be used as "Shrink Band" on some Boston Round Bottle Caps.

You just need to Cut them in Half.

Hmmm.... are the insulators up for grabs? And you go, @Fidola13 just don't blow you up.

My battery case may be even bigger than yours I think EXCEPT you have insulators.

IMR Batteries has insulators - 18650 Wraps/Insulators | IMRBatteries.com

I forget where I saw this idea but if you have a labeler...

You have to rewrap batteries? Why? I haven't rewrapped a battery in my 10+ years of vaping. Am I doing it wrong?

Oh @Katya, poor you, your really missing out on all the fun. Nothing like sitting down with a coffee, tweezers in one had, hair drier in the other and having a blast

Nobody tells me anything, that's the problem.

You've been told now . Nothing like a good challenge in trying to stop those insulators flying across the other side of the room when you point the hair drier at it.

I'm with Katya. In 7+ years of vaping I've never rewrapped a battery. Am I missing something??

I did go a fair while before I started doing it. A few of my batteries were beginning to look a bit worse for wear. My other reason was to make matched pairs look unique so they could not get mixed up with others.
