No
Some mods recess the positive connector on the board to provide reverse polarity protection.
Without a nipple the battery would never make connection at the positive terminal.
If they didnt, the first time the battery was put in backwards, the board would be toast.
2 mods for reference that used this were the zna and the provari up to v2.5.

hmmm and did you know on average 86,000 people suffer from severe damage to their body from lawn mowers each year? why isnt there legislation in progress to stop this from happening?....
Good point.
I passed 3 cars on the shoulder of the highway last night.
There were police cars fresh on the scene blocking the right lanes and the on ramp.
There was also a white sheet covering a body.
While hundreds of cars passed by.
Maybe we should ban cars too.

Hmm...let me see, voluntary withdrawal of mechs, (if all shops/vendors were to adhere to Stubby's pretend world) would be the same result as a ban effectively?, yes.
So why should the knowledgeable and cautious vapers be punished for a tiny, minuscule percent of careless vapers and or freak accidents?,
This is the 3rd-4th time I have seen an injury due to vaping...but millions of us out there.
We should voluntarily ban Nic, bikes, knifes, alcohol, cars AND batteries going by your logic,
Warning labels & manuals, sales to adults only, c'est tout IMO.
I have to say, this overregulation, must ban everything and keep everyone safe thing gets on my nerves.
Let's stop selling motorcycles, power tools, lawn mowers, chain saws, knives, guns, hot coffee, fattening food, alcohol, tobacco, mech mods, nail guns, etc.
I once saw a news story where some guy yanked on an extension cord to unplug it. It whipped across the yard and the plug implanted into his forehead. I guess we better stop selling extension cords.
My college roommate set our apartment on fire trying to boil vegetable oil. Guess we should ban that, too.
We must all live in bubbles.

The who, what, where, and when can call be investigated and reported.
I mean they can be established in a factual way.
The trouble with the why of it, that can be a subject of BIAS.
I always wished we could just ban stupid people... Life is dangerous, no one makes it out alive.
Last night, Dimi called this out on his show. The guy's name is James Lauria, and the story broke this week. He said it was a Atlantis 2 and a hybrid. But, he also said the victim was from "South Georgia".
P.S. As far as I know, no one has been killed by a mod.

This is all so true.
This is also how i feel every time "insert news" wants to ban eciggs for x silly reason.
Bollocks.
I just skimmed about 7 pages, so this post may be redundant and preaching to the choir.
I think there is a problem with regulated batteries, in that it gives some people a false sense of security. All batteries, built in or replaceable, have the potential to vent. It doesn't matter the type of device (e-cig, phone, tablet, alarm clock, etc.) or if in it's in use or not (charging, in your pocket, sitting in a car, whatever). People need to pay at least some attention to batteries, just like they need to pay attention to whether or not the cord is frayed on something pulled into a wall.
And the media will also go for sensational over mundane. This one made me shake my head:
The text reads [In] The aftermath of the blaze, Towan's carpet is burned in three spots. However, the video banner reads E-Cigarette almost claims man's life.

I didn't watch the video, but in the text a vape shop associate states, ""People will try to use their phone chargers..." The story didn't mention the cause of the fire, but the the associate's remark, seemingly out of the blue, suggests to me that the wrong charger may have been a factor.
In the news...
I didn't know about this. I wonder how it's going? And bummer! I buy my ADV from Vixen Vapors, no wonder they raised their prices.

More on the Cameron suit. Scroll down to the letter posted by the company's owner. While we debate the safety of batteries look at how much this mall-based company was making "in it's prime." $500,000 a month?

All mods can have problems.
From what I can tell mech mod problems seem to be avoidable, the result of someone not know the proper atomizer to use, or not knowing the limitations of their batteries, or not spotting a short, etc.
Regulated mod failures seem to be random and unavoidable for the most part. Some are the result of dropping it a few feet on carpet and an internal battery shorting, or an auto firing issue, or a charging issue.
I'm not saying mechs are "safer," just that everyone should learn how to use whatever they have properly, and learn what to look out for as a possible issue.
