So, today was fun.
This morning before work, I grabbed my two fresh charged batteries, threw them in my vape, turned to grab my jacked, and then smelt my mod catching fire. The batteries vented. I always knew it was possible. I just never expected it to happen. Quickly with a nylon stick I popped them out, and in my late-to-work-need-to-go-now panic, threw them in the microwave. I stole my SO's set up (he doesn't take it to work) and left.
The day went on, no thermal events happened, and everything was fine.
When I got home and was able to better inspect things. The batteries vented, and the lining singed off. They're toast, and need to be disposed of. (If you have a suggestion on that please leave a comment below. Beyond forcing my job to deal with it because of how they engrained battery danger into my head, idhk wtf to do with them...) My poor mod melted on the inside, the battery terminal melted and the battery contact sunk in. It no longer works.
I took the mod and the batteries to the Vape shop I bought the batteries at. I went there because I actually trust this guy, he's the most honest shop owner in my area. He said that it was probably not safe to Vape, even if it did work. He also informed me that the brand of mod I had, it's called a Rage Box, was prone to having mosfet issues that commonly led to these mods catching fire.
To be honest the whole thing happened so fast I'm not sure what happened. For all I know, I could have put the battery in upside down, or it could have been the mods fault. Who knows. What I do know is, I need a new mod...
So, I bought a backup mod (which came with a backup tank. It was a kanger subbox and nano tank set. It screamed BACKUP SETUP lol) but I doubt that it can handle for long my day to day amount of vaping.
I need a mod that is reliable and decently durable. I'm not hard on mods per se, but it does travel a lot.
I tend to stay away from regulated mods because i always seem to run into electronic issues with them.
I need a mod that can take two 18650s for all day use. Or put out as much power as one.
I'm like, $100-$200
In all honesty preferably pink.
