How safe are Regulated Mods?

When my son was in town for Thanksgiving, I asked him if I could see what batteries he was using in his regulated mod, a SMOK. (Let's don't go there)
He was using an old MXJO and LG-HG2, with the wraps on both pretty ratty looking. He said the vape shop guy told him they were what he needed. I kinda freaked out.
We were staying in the same hotel room and had a laptop computer with us, and we watched a few of Mooch's You Tube videos together into the wee hours of the night. I could tell from his reactions that he was not happy with himself, which is a good thing I guess -- I had successfully made a strong impression on him about battery safety and it was sort of a rebonding experience for both of us.
I gave him a couple of my Samsung 30Q on the spot and told him to stop using his old batteries. I showed him how to find mine and Mooch's blogs on ECF by using Google for future purchases. Funny thing is, his online gaming buddies all vape and he has told them to find my blogs on ECF. I said do you ever read them yourself, and he said no. I said maybe its time you did. He said yes and nodded in the affirmative.
He is getting 4 new LG HG2 batteries along with plastic battery cases, as well as a Kroma/Zenith starter kit, from me for Christmas.
We have yet to celebrate our Christmas as we all live in different cities and it is difficult to match up weekends when everyone is off work on the same weekend.

2 guesses at who this belonged to...
"For real. One of my friends finally replaced his beat to .... RX200/Crown combo with a brand spanking new RX200S/Crown. It still worked sometimes but I think he'll be happier with his shiny new replacement."
He's a landscaper and trashes mods monthly in the Summer.
Yes, that's epoxy holding the (broken) glass together
Yep good batteries are fairly inexpensive, I really like rtd vapors and personally like the vct 5a = 8 bucks, vct6 = 775/ vct5=6 bucks/ Sam 30Q =650/ lg hg2= 675. Also 10 battery wraps =1 dollar. No excuses

I'd be ashamed to walk out the door with my mod in that state. I'm still recovering from the shock of dropping my Vaporesso Luxe on the floor and damaging the paint and loosening the screen.
Haven't dropped this. Yet.
I wonder if some people think carrying a beat-up mod makes them look tough.
Legend kit with Aero tank & .2Ω GV mesh coils. He's loving it.
Guess where he got it. We'll see how long that lasts him.
He went through at least 15 Crown tank glass over the last few years.
I have 5 spare straight Aero tank glass tubes for him but he'll need more
I love @Mooch . Thanks, Mooch, for keeping us safe! And yes, it should be a sticky!
I never bought a battery without consulting his charts. And never will. I also believe that every vape shop owner should have Mooch's chart at their shop--preferably displayed somewhere where everyone can see it.

Amazing!!
How can be in all places at one time??
A mech mod in the wrong hands is like a shotgun with no safety lever.
