He has a point actually.For a nurse she gets frightened too easy.
I ALWAYS do! I keep wondering if there's a hidden freemasonic plot somehow exposed by these compounding posts. You would tell me if she's illuminati right? CIA? CIA nurse? Nether Usurper of Retlach's Secret Endgame?
Frightened by what? Injury by something that is deemed safe? Perhaps not a correct correlation, but given I am a fan of Formula 1, Ayrton Senna was frightened by the death of Roland Ratzenberger – so much so he did not want to race the San Marino GP – Senna crashed and died the next day. An F1 racer who understands the risks but yet is still scared to carry out his job due to a tragedy
I agree with @Baditude – through out our life we are conditioned to trust batteries. Who thinks twice about the batteries we use in our TV remote, or or other electronics? We don’t! But yet we NEED to pay attention to this vape device to ensure we are using it in a safe manor. There is a disconnect there – and without being properly educated we will never understand it
Fear springs from ignorance, and fear makes people believe the worst. Batteries are not to be feared, but respected and understood. But we could be arguing semantics.Having a battery potentially explode in your hand or face is something to be frightened of, don't you think? Especially if your only experience with batteries was in a TV remote control. Tough crowd.
You need to be comfortable using whichever type of battery device you choose. If you're more comfortable using an internal battery mod, then use that.
But you can choose to educate yourself on the removeable batteries. They are a safeR battery, but you still need to use safe battery practices when using them because there are no "safe" batteries.
There are pro's and con's to each type. Internal Battery (Lipo) or External Batteries (18650)? Which type is right for you?
I use both internal battery (not removeable) mods and external battery (removeable) mods. My preference is to use removeable batteries because I can pick and choose which model best fits my style of vaping from their battery specifications (amp rating and mAh rating). You can't do that with internal battery mods, because the manufacturer does the picking.

See above two posts.
@vicsch admits her lack of knowledge on batteries, but seems willing to educate herself to gain knowledge and to gain respect and have less fear about batteries. I think we were all a bit like her at one point in time.

I'm a mechanic (and very into electronics) I learned a hard lesson about car batteries: always disconnect the Negative side first! Why? Because if you start with the positive side and your wrench accidentally touches anything metal 9ground) it will arc and actually weld itself to the metal! Lesson learned 
Just one of many... >
You made me get up and go check my 9v/AA/AAA and Nicad drawer. All cells are secured and the 9v's are either in factory packaging or have the plastic snap top insulators in place. Loose Nicad AA and AAA are in zip locks.
Don't forget to examine your batteries for knicks and tears. This goes for all batteries including ones in regulated devices! Diligence is required.
That's a lesson you will learn very quickly and will only make that mistake once. I'm also a journeyman mech.I'm a mechanic (and very into electronics) I learned a hard lesson about car batteries: always disconnect the Negative side first! Why?

Ironically, the only batteries that I've never had to re-wrap are my oldest and the hardest pushed. Freaking Orbtronic 18650s. I don't know what kind of wraps they use but they hold up for years.
The LG brownies, as much as I like using them, are terrible. I usually have to re-wrap those within a few months.
They mysteries of vape continue...
The Orbtronics are rewraps. The Lg, Sony, and Samsung are original cells never meant to be used outside of a battery pack, so they weren't concerned about the durability of the wrap they used.
Take two 9 volt batteries and connect them together. Did this as a kid... never finished the test because they were getting really hot!
Hey, was nice of you to say that, it was appreciated, here is the mech mod that I'm getting, and I class myself as an intermediate when it comes to these things, but I was just trying to have some fun with words and be playful, I never realized that it would have this reaction and effect.

May I ask what draws you to that particular mod? I could think of a few features I'd want on a first mech that this doesn't have. A center pin 510, and a licking switch might be nice, for starters.Hey, was nice of you to say that, it was appreciated, here is the mech mod that I'm getting, and I class myself as an intermediate when it comes to these things, but I was just trying to have some fun with words and be playful, I never realized that it would have this reaction and effect.
