autoplay- li-ion batteries are very dangerous without proper caution and knowledge. They should not be played with by the inexperienced. This warning is posted by all retailers in virtually all countries. This has nothing to do with China. The reason the batteries and chargers are only available in China is the ecig has an unusual connector. Also, the ecig requires a custom sized battery to fit inside the skinny little tubes. Standard sizes of batteries and chargers are available in the US and most other countries. A quick google showed 16 li-ion battery manufacturers in California alone.
There are two types of li-ions, protected and unprotected. Since they can explode if overcharged or discharged too rapidly, and be destroyed if discharged below minimum voltage, they must be protected. The protected cells have an intelligent pcb that monitors out of spec conditions and shuts the battery down when the situation becomes dangerous. Ecigs use unprotected cells, and can be dangerous to a modder not familiar with lithium ion technology. They are safe to the general ecig user, however, because the ecig chargers protect them from being overcharged (> 4.2v), and the microprocessor in the ecig shuts the battery down if it is being discharged too fast or too low.
A modder must be aware of these characteristics or chance serious injury. When a modder removes the autoswitch and replaces it with a manual switch, the microprocessor protection is removed. When that happens, it is up to the user to not keep using the ecig after the battery gets low, for fear of ruining the battery. Also a manual switch that gets stuck in the on position can be dangerous from both discharging too fast and too long. Fortunately, the ecig (unmodded) wont discharge a battery fast enough to cause an explosion. But if you're winding your own heating coils and rewiring the ecig with heftier wires, that can lead to a dangerous situation. Likewise, passthroughs and charger mods can be very dangerous if an inexperienced modder isn't aware of the explosive potential of an overcharged battery. In all, you can't blame this situation on China.
