Hybris VV 14500 mod

[CreepyLady]

O.K. I have not bought any batteries from their either. They will offer batteries out of laptop power supplies it seems, but they do tell you of that. I just go to fastech to look at things, as they have a wide selection. Just for curiosities sake, I would be interested in seeing the batteries you would pick out if you were to purchase that mod.

My last go around picking out batteries for the VTR didn't go so well, they were too fat to fit. So I skinned em lol. That worked, but then when I put them into a mech mod they shorted out... Wish all batteries were the same size!

OMG. ^^ *Never* remove the protective wrap it WILL short. YIKES. Thats scary!!! Im guessing it was a quiet failure at least.
What batteries did you purchase that required this? I am guessing *not* an AW IMR 18650.. for recommended safe batteries that will fit - AW IMR or this list from http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-9-battery-basics-mods-imr-protected-icr.html

Yeah, and under the protective wrap is this little copper wire that runs from top to bottom and it gets real red hot. No worries i had gloves on after i seen that, plus i was close to door so i could chuck it outside if anything started hissing lol. I hope these efest don't need to be skinned. The skinned ones work fine in the VTR but in the Maxus mechanical clone, they made sparks and arks...

I bought one of these and it fits fine. It's not protected so i have to be careful in the mech mod. I haven't put it in there yet cause I haven't got around to looking at the current draw it's capable of.

Please stop using unwrapped batteries. Seriously - I beg you. If not for your own sake - for the sake of your surrounding neighbors/humans. There are no gloves and no proximity of an exterior door that would give me the desire to hold this in my hands and vape it in my face

That is so incredibly dangerous with any battery. That battery may also ruin your VTR. It is (was???) a protected battery. VTR already has a protection circuit, once you add a battery with a whole second protection circuit, much less unwrap it - you are going to have wonky circuitry - You are just really pushing beyond so many limits and I would guess the most you can hope for if you continue using this is that WHEN it fails it does so quietly. I mean, I just, I am just speechless right now ...

It worked fine in the VTR. I'll use it as an experiment to see how violently they vent. I rig a mechanism in a save place to pierce it while I am a safe distance away. I was wearing welding gloves when I took the skin off it.

Is just a battery. I had a Lipo burn down in my RC car it just burned rarther quickly, just drew too many amps out of it and poof!

When I took my iphone apart to try to fix the camera, i pierced the battery with the little pry thing i was using, which was metal, and it burst into flames lol. I have android now....

I don't think having a protected battery in the VTR was an issue, more that the battery was too fat and needed to be skinned. How could double protection hurt anything? it just would not fire if they conflicted.

Battery looks a little rough cause it was arcing in the metal tube a bit. I'll donate it to experimentation purposes. Don't worry I'll do it safely.

This is not advisable under any circumstance. There'll be no more talk of "skinning" batteries as this is an extremely dangerous practice.

And please, in the future, start your own thread rather than hijacking someone elses thread.

I will safely dispose of the battery, I didn't realize the wrapping was an integral part of the battery. I will keep an eye on all my batteries now for nicks or tears in the covering, as if these develop it could lead to a short.

That being said I searched ebay for mini lambos and found one for 32.99 with free shipping so might just get that since I don't really need or want anything else in that kit.

the one in poland?? lol

saw that a while back.. i think it would be wise to spring for the extra seven bucks to get a stateside vendor in case there's any recourse.
