Hello! I’ve been vaping for about 5 years now, being free from the cigarettes I smoked for 15. I am currently using a voopoo caliber battery, which is a simple design that I like. It’s been working well for me, but I woke up this morning, went to vape, and it will not fire. The only light is blinking 10 times, and the manuel indicates this is for “over discharge protection.” Okay, so if it’s protected from over discharge, does that mean it can still be used since it was protected? Or is it just dead, and this is a safety feature?

The ten flashes indicate the device needs to be fully charged.
It is telling you the voltage is too low to fire / the reason it will not work.

You are a kind gentleman, thank you for answering my question. I thought I fully charged it last night, as I do every night. It was plugged up all night. Upon further investigation it seems the electrical outlet on the wall is not working, and it never charged. I really believed my battery was dead and it had been “over discharged”, a concept of will never fully wrap my brain around! Thank you!
Welcome to ECF
It is recommended to monitor your charging. Should something happen you can act upon it quickly. If you are sleeping, you may not be aware of any incidents which could be fatal.
When the device is fully charged, unplug it right away. Many devices apply a “Trickle Charge” to try and keep the batteries topped up, this trickle charge can lead to some concerning voltages.
And always check for heat. Should the device get hot, unplug from the charger immediately and refrain from using that USB power supply until the source of the heat is determined.
Such as a battery fire or explosion...so another tip is to always charge on a fire resistant surface. For example granite or porcelin countertops, glass or metal baking pans, etc.
Keep your focus on the kitchen counter in this security cam video where a mod with an internal battery is being charged while everyone is sleeping,

I think the term over-discharged kind of gets thrown around a bit. In this case it simply means "Charge your battery."
You can go below a safe voltage on a battery, although most mods protect you a fair amount above that point by refusing to vape, and telling you to change the batteries. Regulated mods, anyway.
Good luck It think you will be fine.

Hello & welcome. I hope you manage(d) to charge it.
Do you have another device? It might be worth getting a backup.

Voodoo or voopoo? Autocorrect is evil.
Assuming voopoo caliber battery is the right term. It’s a sealed battery mod. As such if the battery is going since there’s no way to open the device and replace it you probably need a whole new mod. The atty will unscrew if you like it and want to keep it. You can put it on any device with a 510 connector and it will likely vape.
There is a host of choices available for powering the atty, including another sealed battery mod just like the one you were using. Or you can get a whole other device.

I don’t know anything about those devices but please please don’t leave batteries or mod charging overnight unattended.
