I have had no problems charging my batteries. I didn't even need to use my haz-mat suit.
Seriously don't freak, only take precautions if you plan to charge unattended and even then sitting the charger on a fireproof surface like a glass table or a baking tray will protect you in the very unlikely event of a fire
There Is Way Too Much Battery False Warnings & Scare Tactics Causing Paranoia Here WTF! I Have These 10440 Batts and Another 1/2 Dozen Or So Other Lithium, NiMh & NiCad Batts with 10 Different Chargers. I and Several Friends Have Been using & Recharging These For Daily For Years, Never 1 Incident! Thats Is Overnight & Unattended Charging! (U Make Your Own Decision How To Charge) As A Daily Ritual!!
I Know Hundreds Of People From Some of The Flashlight Forums That Do Not Have Any Issues With Rechargeable Batts! Unless Your A Frigin ..... And Do Something Stupid!
Some People Are Starting Way Too Much Bull About Batteries Blowing Up & Overheating With Atomizers! Enough Is A Nuff of This Crap, Please Go Join or Start An Exploding Battery Forum Or Something For Your Exploding Battery Crusade!
If You Charge Any Battery Correctly & With The Proper Charger You Will Not Have Any Issues!~ Incidents With Batteries Are Less Then 1%, Thats Including Known Defective & Recalled Batteries!
Go Janty Go! I Can't Wait For My Janty Sticks To Arrive!

Hey Cellmeister, i really like it ( your post ), true + on the point and the correct dose of anger.
Yeah, it's hysteria IMO. I'm just jerkin' their chain about the shrapnel. 
I would never worry about a battery unless it was getting hot in the charger or something -- which mine never have.

Ok here's a chemistry lesson from your friendly local chemist.
Lithium-Ion cells are not at all like NiCas or NiMh cells. They contain a pressurised solvent based lithium liquid which is highly flammable. Inside the cell, a barrier prevents the pos and neg ends of the battery from contacting.
During the manufacturing process, small metallic particles remain in the solution and when the battery warms, they move around within the solution. This can cause them to damage the barrier and cause a short circuit. This overheats the cell, increases the pressure and the result is a leak or small explosion.
Manufacturing process have improved since all those laptop and cellphone batteries were catching fire and recalled, the risks are smaller but still there. In the rare event of an incident, flammable materials would need to be close by in order for the situation to escalate. Many cells contain protection to prevent any incident, and chargers have circuits to improve safety.
The chance of an incident are very small. However I have been through the terrible experience of losing everything I own in a house fire so yes, I am fanatical about fire safety. Most people get away with taking no precautions but a few do not. I do not want anybody to have to go through what I have been through, call that scare tactics and paranoia if you wish. Risk isnt just about the chances of an incident, it is about the resulting damage that very rare incident can cause.

Why do you start almost every word with a capital letter?
It really bothers me when I read it, can't concentrate on what you mean.
No offence intended - just letting you know it makes it harder for me to understand you.
The janty stick is a great improvement on the e-cig.........but I think the janty stick is incredibly expensive seeing as it's an electronic product being made in china...it really is a very simple piece of electronics when you compare it to any other thing you can buy. I don't think I even paid that much for my computer monitor and there is no comparison with the work or the electronics that go into the two products.
if you don't take at least the usage hints of the manufacturer, no protection circuit will help you, no matter what batteries you use. i got a kitchen fire with NiCd cells in my youth, a little firework in my sisters car, charging some batterypacks on the cars battery, i learned how to handle batteries, no matter which type.
but thats not the point of the hysteria that took and take place here about unprotected batterie usage in the jantystick for example.
too few people read those little letters manufacterers deliver with their products, they are called documentation, safety instructions or else. they are a little bit boring sometimes, but i really suggest to everyone buying any electronic device :
Read it !

If you ever had a Nikon D-70 burn up, you will listen to this guy! Tis True.
loosing a D-70 really hurts, i hope you got it changed.
*nervously looking to the D-90 sitting on edge of my desk*
btw: is it here yet?

What is the hold up with the shipment of the sticks???? Didn't Ludo say they had "Landed" in the US? Am I just being impatient?
Hey Ludo....How bout an update???

You have got to be kidding me!What is the hold up with the shipment of the sticks???? Didn't Ludo say they had "Landed" in the US? Am I just being impatient?
Hey Ludo....How bout an update???
There's a thread right there:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/jantyusa/17950-daily-jantystick-update.html
explaining everything.
While waiting for our sticks to arrive, can I ask a dumb question?
I've never used a manual before--but after reading Ludo's online instructions for the thing I am a tad confused.
When you push on the button to vape, do you just click it to activate, or do you have to hold the button down while vaping?
(Told ya it was a dumb question...)

Bravo, Andy. I completely agree with you.
