Looks like corrosion from battery venting to me but I'm not an expert. Do you vape while its plugged in and charging? Has it been dropped? Or maybe a pod was leaking juice into the mods internals? Those would be my guesses as to what caused that.
No I never put it overnight charging or vaping while charging and any juice leaks I was cleaning it at the moment

Has it been allowed to sit in direct sunlight for long periods of time (depending on where you live, 10-15 minutes is long enough)? Sun exposure is always an issue for batteries. If it isn't any of those then I have no idea. I have 3 of those mods and I've never had that happen. If you solve this mystery, please post and let us know what the cause was.

I don't think that is Calcification. But it could be Potassium Hydroxide from an Out-Gassing Li-Ion Battery. What ever you do, Don't get that White Stuff on your Fingers and then Rub Your Eyes.

I would would switch to your Backup and Retire that Battery.

Try doing a Google Search for "cleaning corroded battery contacts".

Stuff like this...



Vinegar and or Pure Lemon Juice can work well. Just don't get that White Stuff in your Eyes. So Glove-Up and wear some Safety Glasses. Sun Glasses in a pinch
