That's only if the topper 510 pin sticks past the collar. If it doesn't the short is immediate...
Nope, not a hybrid fan, either!
Unless you are like the one poster who said they had put fingernail polish on their torn battery wrapper and the battery exploded in a mech and wondered why....
I hae one with teeny tear. I was told here to put tape or nail polish on it. I cose the tape.
Thanks, Boden. Bookmarked, and will order. This might sound like a stupid question, but if there's a little nick in the wrapping, should I recover it? (Not to worry. I'm not using that battery.)
In many regulated mods a torn wrapper is not a big issue. However in a tube mech mod if the case of the battery contacts the inside of the tube it is just like hitting the fire button but it will not turn off.

Thank you. I'll re-wrap the battery. I'm only using regulated mods these days, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

I get some juices in child proof thingies. Don't really have a problem with them except finding them a PITA. On the other hand it's not something I would fight. Gotta protect the kids.
Saw in the eVic thread that cigabuy has coupon code USSALES worth 50% off at their US warehouse. Overseas Warehouse, US Warehouse - Cigabuy
Am I the only one that had massive problems on ECF today? It took five hours for me to log in. It would work, I'd try to log in, it wouldn't work. Try refreshing the site, it worked, try to log in, it'd time out. No, I didn't try five hours straight, but I was persistent since any other site I tried worked. Took me over an hour to get logged on, do the likes, gather quotes, load a picture and then it wouldn't post. Spun its wheel twice without anything happening. Quit and cleaned the cache. Later I saw it posted my post more than 45 minutes after I tried to post it, when I was off line. 
Anyone else?

You guys did get the gist of my point. Did you notice the part that said "Bottom spring-loaded magnetic firing button, without locking ring"? There have been several threads by people that didn't realize the locking ring wasn't engaged, set it down and it went into thermal runaway. I don't want FDA regulations but when are companies going to learn? Do you want to sit next to this guy who put that mod in his checked baggage on a plane?
Anyone else?Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with someone having a bullet on their key ring, mantel, whatever. I have a ton--well, maybe half a ton--of live ammo I've picked up in the forest that were dropped by idiot target shooters and hunters. Yes, there are many more responsible ones but have you ever tried to put out a wildfire on thousands of squares acres of military live-fire range? I have, not fun. That's why I've picked it up and don't know where to get rid of it. (It is fun to disassemble them, remove the gunpowder and light a bunch of it off.

I read the thread and typical response at first. You guys aren't helping, you're being mean, etc. At least he seemed to get it at the end. Scary stuff, so glad he didn't hurt himself or someone else. Thank you you guys and ECF!
