Liquid in my batteries after using a hybrid mod

[Johntacomo]

Hey all,

I've been using a A-Mod By smpl and its a hybrid mod. But I have a patriot rda With the Weird filling system where the juice comes up via a pipe with a bottle attached to it and the pipe connects to the 510 connection and fills the rda from it or you can drip. I drip and some of the juice went on top my hybrid mods battery.

Im scared if i can still use the battery its a purple 2900mah 35A Efest

id dump everything new york and pick up a new regulated mod and a topper as well as a battery to be safe............i own almost a dozen hybrids ....they are not worth the chance you take

Getting liquid on top of a battery is not a good idea.
Using a sealed base delivery device on a pseudo/fake hybrid is always a good idea.
If you're talking about a tiny drop or two that can be completely cleaned up/dried probably no big deal, if you're talking about more, I wouldn't risk it.

The 2900mah efest is not a 35a CDR battery, more like 15ish amps CDR.
I'd suggest ditching efest all together & acquiring good cells from a reputable source.

Well, Batteries are Sealed and Mods are Metal(non absorbent)

I'd rinse the Mod and dry it.
Use a Qtip and alcohol to clean up the battery and inspect it.

If everything looks good:
Charge
Test carefully
Be more attentive of over filling.

Vape safe and enjoy


* Since you Drip - snap off a tooth pick in the Bottom Fill hole to plug it off.

IMO, you should only use a bottom feeding RDA on a squonker

wait a minute

am I reading that correctly.

are you using an rda, with the bottomfeed pin OPTION and putting that on a fakebrid mod????

If that is what you are doing then obviously liquid is going to leak down on your battery.

You really need to be more carefull about what you are doing.

btw, the pic on the left is a true hybrid.
Note the big centerpin on the rda, and the big black insulator around it.

The rda you are using is meant to be used on a squonk box, not any other kind of mod. And yes you will get juice in the battery.
I would like for you to go and kick the outta whoever sold you that setup and told you it was ok to use it like that.
The SMPL IS NOT A HYBRID! It doesn't have a center pin. It's direct to battery contact.
Hybrids don't have a top cap, they have attys that screw on in place of the top cap.

Sounds like yet another vape-shop horror story! Even if it isn't, it still sounds like one!

If the mod is this one, or similar to it, you have two issues here.

First, you have to be really careful that the positive (the inner part) of the 510 connection on your RDA sticks out past the negative (outer part). If it does not you will get a hard short when you hit the switch. When that happens the battery can blow up.

Second, if you use a bottom fed RDA it will leak juice when you drip through that feed hole in it, right onto your battery.

The battery is fine. I would rinse it off with water, dry it and use it. Batteries are sealed and nothing will get inside them. Also, 4.2 volts isn't enough to short through water.

I just pour juice on my batteries then start a post asking how juice got on my batteries[emoji12] [emoji133] [emoji12]

I'd like to know more about this?
Did you purchase this Used?
Did you take the Feeder off the Patriot?

It sounds like you have changed what you got and created your leak by removing the feeder section.
Or the Patriot was set up for someone with a bottom feed device.

Patriot is a patriot. Center pins are different. Solid or Hollow.
Solid to drip
Hollow for bottom feed.

If using on a Non-bottom feed, use solid center pin or plug hollow center pin.

 

[Bunnykiller]

the battery is sealed.... juice cant get into it... and the resistive value of juice is 2.8 megaohms per inch, pretty much an insulator to a degree

 

[beckdg]

smart people made it here before me.

thank goodness for the OPs sake.

PHEW! dodged a bullet there.

Play nice

 

[tj99959]

Only use toppers that were specifically designed for use on a hybrid on a hybrid! Otherwise you will become a statistic talked about in the news.

* Using a hybrid top cap
* Doesn't have a clue about batteries
* Using a topper that is incomparable

makes it difficult to "play nice", so I'll shut up!
The juice isn't going to hurt your battery ... but the rest is going to hurt you!

 

[roxynoodle]

I've gotten a little juice on batteries from leaky RDAs on mechs. Just take a damp paper towel and wipe it off. I'm sure its fine.

But, that's the wrong atty for a non squonking mod. You need a different atty, or a squonker.

And yes, being a "hybrid top" you must be very selective about the atty. It must have a 510 pin that protrudes a minimum of 1mm. It also needs to be rock steady; unable to screw in further or be pushed up. If it isn't, that mod will become a pipe bomb when the atty causes a hard short and the battery goes into thermal runaway.

I can show you some inexpensive squonkers if you'd like.

The SMPL is not a hybrid. Hybrids do not have 510 threads, and have dedicated atomizers that attach to the body of the mod

The SMPL is a direct to battery mod and requires attention and knowledge to use safely.

Hybrids are safe because you cannot put the "wrong" atomizer on them.


The OP needs to do some research, and educate themselves on their gear and how it works before using a mechanical mod safely.

Some vapers in this thread also need to do some research as well before giving advice

Don't be so picky!!!!! Note that I said "hybrid top cap" NOT hybrid mod.
(and they have been referred to as "hybrid top caps" sense the day they first came to market)

apology accepted in advance
