So I am attempting to build the nicostick mod. I have a Joye 510 and don't really like the "automatic" battery because they suck. So after doing some research I realized that I need the adapter piece from the 510 battery to connect the atomizer. So I go to Radio Shack and pick up all the proper supplies. I get home and grab a cutting tool to "Cut the battery in half". Well I forgot the battery was recently fully charged and I dont have any dead batteries so here I go.

I remove the little end cap where the L.E.D is and start cutting the center of the battery. As the center of the battery begins to indent the battery starts getting real hot. Then a BANG / POOF and half of the battery shoots out into the sink smoking like crazy. The GF starts freaking out so I got the fan and aired my place out.

TODAY'S LESSON --------------

NEVER EVER EVER ATTEMP TO CUT A CHARGED BATTERY IN HALF OR ANY BATTERY FOR THAT MATTER!

Laugh It up ECF! Laugh it up

next time, just take cut abt 1/4" from gold stip of adapter, missing the battery in there, then heat the adapter up with a lighter just below that gold strip and pull it out w some needle nose plyers....glad ur OK!!!!! Also, heaven-gifts sells just the adapter pieces for like a buck a piece....madvapes has them for a lil more $ and way faster shipping, too. Also those boxes in a ton of colors....hope u get ur mod finished, nothing like the feeling of vaping something you made urself ;)
