Is this safe???

Funk,

I'm off during the week, gonna run some errands; would you presume Home Depot or Lowes to have PVC heat wrap?

Also can't really seem to find 26650 size, although I feel as if 18650 is taller so I'd be within the dimensions. (I still don't own a 18650 mech).

You want 43mm tubing for 26650.

A quick google led me to this Ebay auction, but you can likely find more.

I'm not sure if Lowes or Home Depot carries this type of heat shrink for batteries. Maybe Radioshack does?

Honestly, I never had to heat shrink batteries until I inherited an activity like vaping where it was relevant/needed. I ordered the fasttech stash a long while ago, just because I knew it was handy to have around after some reading. And it is handy to have around.

Cheers

think I'll grab a few colors myself, since it'll work with my hollowed out King perfectly

I heard about and seen a couple guys use nail polish on their battery wrappers to paint over nicks and on top of the battery wrapper on the positive side to hold the wrapper down and keep flat.

Is this safe and has anyone heard of this?

TIA

I've never heard of this before but I would want to take the chance of risking my face or hands to save a 15 dollars battery. Plastic surgery would probably help me in the looks department but I rather save the money and avoid the pain.
Might as well get dried paint off your skin with gasoline and stand know front of the fireplace

Looks like that's the only place to get it.

*puts in order*

Looks like you and me are gonna be good buddies for a few weeks, liquid electrical tape.

It's relevant for the bottom firing mech mods otherwise the mech will be always on.

thank you...gonna make sure my one battery that has a hole in it goes in the trash

I think it's some kind of acrylic, which should do OK as far as abrasion resistance. It insulates well, and is not flammable when dry and the volatile carriers have evaporated. Fingernails incinerating the girls doesn't seem to be a problem.

Normal nail polish does not have acrylic in it and I would think that a battery that gets hot enough would cause some sort of chemical response with the nail polish.

worked gloriously.

Stupid easy, right?
