It was as draining batteries too fast, and not every time, sometimes super fast, sometimes just kind of fast. There’s definitely something wrong with it. I was using new batteries that are fine in other mods and would get a full day out of them. Put them in the abyss and I might get 10 hours, might get 6. Otherwise it seemed to work fine, but they made me nervous.
I’ve heard people put them in a cast iron pan or Dutch oven. I sit mine on a metal coffee can in the kitchen. I charge in the morning while I have my coffee so I’m not far away. And if I haven’t set that hideous kitchen on fire with my cooking I feel pretty confident a battery charger malfunction is a lot lower of a risk.
I've got a couple of spares. Bludger just offered to sail up and bring you one. Do you want with or without chimney?
He's gonna swing by your place on the way home with the other one.
Charlie, check your order at their website again. "Standard" refers to the tank's capacity only (standard--8 or 5 ml, respectively, vs TPD--2 ml), not single vs dual coil. SM sells two Brunhilde tanks--MTL RTA (only standard 5 ml edition is available right now)
Vapefly Brunhilde MTL RTA 23mm 5ml Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
and RTA (both standard [8 ml] and TPD [2ml] editions are available
Vapefly Brunhilde RTA 25mm 2ml/8ml Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
In other words, just because you ordered a "standard" version doesn't mean you ordered the big dual-coil one.
Alright, so what are we supposed to do when stuff like this happens? Stuck button, auto firing, thermal runaway? There must be a better way than just throwing hissing batteries away as far as possible. Is there? I'm serious. Or do need to page @Mooch ?
I never had a mech because I was always afraid of something like this happening, but I was pretty sure that with the new protected mods, better battery chemistry and better chargers we were pretty safe. Are we?
I've been wanting a pic of my first Luna, and I wanted something different from the woodpile. I found an old copper outside and tried that:
yeah that would make me nervous too. As I’ve gotten older I’ve decided that if something makes me nervous I’m not hanging around!! I think I’ve already used up most of my 9 lives!!
Geez, Hitt, so sorry it happened to you. Must have been frightening. I considered getting a charging bag, but then I read somewhere that a charging bag itself may contribute to the charger and batteries overheating by reducing airflow. I don't know if that's the case, but it made sense to me at the time.
I just charge my batteries and mods on a granite counter and always when I'm nearby (and preferably nobody else--if at all possible
).this is a beautiful piece! You should send some of your artwork out to different companies!!

Some newer mod chips have protection called over-vape or something, that kicks in if it's fired for a certain amount of time.
My way of thinking with my mech mods, is that I have to rely on myself to keep it safe. Reg. mods, I'm also relying on the chip, which may fail. But then, so may I with mech mod safety.
And regardless of the mod: if I use a battery with a ripped/worn wrapper, or exceed the CDR of a battery, I'm asking for trouble.

Exactly why I’ve only bought semi - regulated or semi - mechanical depending upon who you ask. But still even using a semi reg it makes me a tiny bit nervous more so than a regulated which we are seeing safety fails.
I bought a lot of semi regulated mods for my stash. I don’t use many of them because I don’t appreciate their vape. Who wants a vape that gets weaker with every puff? I don’t. So I really don’t get it. I’ve got enough reg mods to last me two life spans. I hope Lol. !!

I drink Baileys in my coffee during the holidays.
Exactly. I could never understand the appeal of unregulated mods. I only used those when nothing else was available (first cigalikes, ca 2009
).I’m trying to envision how you have a charger on top of a coffee can and I’m having no luck at all.

I now use a lipo charging bag. Put the batteries in the charger, put the charger in the bag, and close the bag. It’s supposed to contain it if the batteries go thermal.
