Batteries, Chargers and Multi-Meters Forum !
BATTERY SAFETY TIPS:
Use common sense.
Don't carry spare batteries in your pocket or purse where they can come into contact with loose change or keys - use plastic battery cases.
Don't skimp by buying cheap batteries or a cheap charger. Buy quality batteries and chargers, they'll be well worth it in the long run.
Purchase only recognizeable & reputable brand-name batteries like AW, LG, MNKE, Orbtronics, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony.
Purchase brand-name chargers like Pila, Xtar, Nitecore, and Efest.
Only use IMR or IMR/hybrid safe-chemistry batteries, not protected ICR batteries.
Use the appropriate battery for the specified application. Check battery specifications (battery chemistry & amp rating in continuous discharge).
Don't over-charge or over-discharge batteries.
Don't buy any battery with "fire" in the name - Surefire, Trustfire, Ultrafire.
Don't use generic batteries or batteries harvested from lap top computers.
Be aware of fake or counterfeit batteries made to look like AW or Sony batteries. Buy from reputable battery vendors like RTD Vapor, Illumination Supply, or Orbtronics who can verify the source of their batteries directly from the manufacturers. Many of the batteries sold on EBay or Amazon are counterfeits and could be dangerous if used in a mod.
Don't put magnets on flat-top batteries to try to make them button-tops.
Don't stack batteries.

^^ Baditude is the forum's resident Battery geek from what Ive learned. when they speak, most listen! lol ( not kissing up just acknowledging the ffort to know and understand that stuff )
the battery risk is when there is a short, or too low resistance coils, etc.. force a battery to overwork its chemical reactions internally.. heat.. and can explode. the highest probability of such an occurrence is in an unregulated device, not a regulated device like your evic. ( although nothing is perfect.. even safe things can once in a blue moon go bad.. cell phones, etc ) just remember.. all batteries are mini chemical reactions in a sealed package )

Don't leave any battery (ego or removable type) inside a vehicle or any inclosed non a/c space during the summer.
Don't charge batteries unattended.

You didn't say what sort of gear you have, so it's hard to give definite answers.
For removable battery devices, see above ^
For eGo-type devices (mid-size ecigs) then the best advice is: always use the charger that came with the device.
Buy a multimeter so you know what is actually happening.

It isn't really a roll of the dice, Maharaj.... with your eVic and the tips that are posted above you will be perfectly safe... especially running at 2 ohms on your atty! Just use a good charger and when you start to notice a significant decrease in battery life, purchase new batteries... you aren't really in any danger until you get into sub-ohm territory.
Happy Vaping!!

If you watch the news you will see that most of the problems have happened while charging, and the problem we as consumers have is that we have no idea what chemistry the cell is that a manufacturer is putting in their product. Trust me, there is a valid reason that LipoSack.com even exist.
For this reason I only use PVs that I choose what chemistry the batteries are that I put in them.
Bottom line is that any battery can be made to vent, and the chemistry of the battery determines what happens if it vents. I only use Lithium Manganise (LiMn) batteries.

Depends on the dice. ALL batteries can do bad things. Do you drive (ride in) a car, bus or other vehicle? They have really nasty batteries in them. Cell phones and laptops also have fairly substantial batteries, especially modern ones.
Take a look at dust explosions, particularly grain dust. Do you avoid flour because it's an explosive? Same thing.
Because it's new and therefore exciting. I remember the excitement about cell phone batteries exploding or even more, the radiation from cell phones causing brain cancer. Now it's old 'news'.
The other big difference is now most people completely freak out at any kind of risk whatsoever, even normal levels of risk. I'm waiting for people to ban exposing children to sunlight for fear of cancer and heat related problems.
