My battery is stuck

[Harambe]

I was borrowing my friend's battery and it easily slid into my SMPL A mod, but when I tried to take it out, it got completely stuck, to the point where the battery does not budge at all. Can someone please help me out?

Hi and welcome,
Did you try to push it out using a wooden dowel/chopstick through the 510?
Gotta picture?

Cheers

sounds like the wrapper got rolled up a bit and stuck... try removing the top of the mod and pushing the battery out the top... nevermind... looks like the top doesnt come off ( just looked at some pics of one)

orrrr... the battery vented and swelled and its doomed... time for a new mod and battery..

I think he had a not so good battery that swelled too.

He may be able to push the battery out far enough to grab the battery snd pull it out.

I hate these stupid hybrids or faux hybrids.

If the Atty's 510 doesnt extend far enough or there is a squishy O ring where the collar around the 510 PIN touvhes the top of the battery you have a hard short where the battery does one of four things

1 gets very hot
2 vents
3 swells
4 goes BOOM.

Thanks a lot! I managed to push it out to pull the rest out with a plier! Just not too sure whether or not the battery is still going to work...

Avoiding this thread before I read about another SMPL explosion.

Good job on getting it out.

But, I would dispose the battery, as parts of it may have been damaged ... as well as the original problem of swelling.

Harambe,

To understand what happened & what could happen is important if you want to safely continue using mechanical mods, especially the SMPL & that atomizer.

Please check out Baditude's blog | E-Cigarette ForumBaditude’s blog.

Of interest to you should be Section 8: A Beginner's Guide to Your First Mechanical Mod with special attention to the discussion of “faux hybrid mods”, & Section 14: Ohm's Law Explained for Vapers.

Good luck & please stick around. This forum is full of useful information & entertainment.
