Seems I've stumbled upon a strange....but entertaining group here. Hello everyone.
Not hot spring, no quick blow fuse... Your courting danger, my friend.
Maybe I don't understand anything... But I know there should be a stop gap between your face and a boom... Have you made another modification im not seeing?

If your battery "went AWOL" (went into thermal runaway), the fuse wouldn't help, it would be too late. The fuse is there to shut down operations (to open the circuit) if you have a hard short. That certainly protects your battery, and you. Some vapers, with more experience (not more than you, MoN, just "more") feel confident enough to run without the aid of a fuse. A hard short can also be dealt with by not pressing the button anymore. I'm not gonna recommend running the mod without a fuse to just anyone. In fact, I would publicly recommend that everyone use a fuse. I don't have a fuse in mine, so I don't want to come across as a hypocrite. It's just, I can't go around saying it's a good idea.
but I'm pretty sure we've gone over all this . . .. (dam, wish I could search!) . .. about 570 pages ago.
ADDIT:
Thing is, a hard short is asymptomatic at first. It may seem just like a bad connection, or a weak battery, because nothing happens. If you have a fuse in there, it doesn't question things, it just blows. If you don't have a fuse in there, the INSTANT your mod doesn't fire (because the current has found a SHORTcut and isn't heating the coil, cause it's not taking that route anymore), the INSTANT your mod doesn't fire, you need to STOP and diagnose the situation. If you just keep punching at the button (saying, "fire, dang it!"), then you're starting down the path that could lead to thermal runaway. I've hard shorted good quality IMR batteries for 10-15 seconds when testing fuses to determine which would be best for the mod. They sometimes started getting warm at that point. I was protected and in a fire-prepared situation. I would strongly recommend that nobody else hard short batteries just to see how long it takes for them to get warm. That would be the ultimate in stupid.

Hi,
Trying to acquaint myself with the boxy mod, and stumbled here for a fine and beautiful product.
OOOH OOOH I GOT A GIF FOR THAT!!!!
Seriously though, people seem to over exaggerate with regards to exploding batteries. I've hard shorted some of my efest batts and all they did was warm up to 270+ F..... no explosions.... I was disappointed.

Yeah, "safe chemistry" batteries (IMR, INR and such) are designed to get very hot when they go into thermal runaway, rather than explode.
