Can anyone distinguish these 18650's i pulled from a bettery pack? Im not going to use them as i tore the case off.

There no print or anything. Just a blank wrap and cell.

Also whats the best way to store unwrapped batteries? Not together, obviously.

I wouldn't use those for vaping. No way of knowing what they are. And definitely don't store them anyway but separated in a plastic container until you can get wraps to put on them if you keep them

Storedin their own plastic (two are connected at the negative end) in a tub in a place with zero movement.

Would this suffice?

I would put some heavy-duty tape (duct tape? a couple of layers of electrical tape?) over the positive terminals.

Is it worth it? Toss them in the recycle.

The only way to store unknown batteries is in the recycle bin. Concidering the low cost of a good battery, why chance it?

Recycle them. Better yet, don't waste time tearing apart battery packs, recycle the entire pack. It's not the vacopalypse yet, no need for high risk behavior, just buy some batteries. I mean.... none of us have any idea what they are, so we aren't going to be all, "You should vape them!"

I think just most of us who are even a bit tech-geeky have pulled apart an old laptop pack or two just to see what cells are in there and whether they could be revived, even if we had zero intention to vape them.

To be honest, I've got plenty of batteries, I was more curious than anything to see if the amp output was high enough [emoji848]

Hola,
The amps should be high enough for a flash light or similar, but not suitable for vaping.

De-constructing battery packs to reclaim questionable cells qualifies as "NOT ADVISABLE"

Again curiosity strikes, what battery packs contain the well known batteries? Ie sony vct5 and 5a's, samsung 25r ect

IMO: None
"Packs" are not a safe source for vaping batteries.
If you want quality batteries...Buy them from a trusted vendor.

If it ever got to the point where appropriate cells were not available separately, I'd be looking at packs for power tools, not laptops. I believe that power tool packs are what the high-drain batteries that we use were primarily designed and intended for. I haven't dissected any power tool packs to see what's in them because none of the power tool packs I own have become unserviceable.

It's not a tech geeky thing, it's a MAN thing!

Don't be blaming geeks! Lol..

Haha haha...

The smoke gx350 doesn't support internal charging, you must remove cells & use a quality external charger. The usb included is for software update only.
Unless you got old stock the owners manual states the need to use an external charger & 2 cell operation is no longer recommended.
