Good morning shiny folks 5 am seems less overwhelming but I disciplined myself to bed by like 8:30.
I can personally attest to the evils of protected batteries I bought 4 Samsungs by accident (and it's not like they were cheap either.) During the AW fiasco and at first I was like "These are wrapped oddly the clear wrap and cushion thing must be some sort of "super wrapping" (don't judge me, LOL) and I tried to take it off but then the metal strip up the side cut me and I was like (don't judge me) "Something is WRONG!" and then I did some hasty research and I was like, DAMN IT.
Later some battery guru (might've been Baditude, can't remember but anyway someone was saying they MIGHT fit in some things and well, .I was like, "They might fit in my beater stealth P3 and they didn't (too fat) but they DID fit in a Procyon and like I mentioned it and then a couple people (might have been Baditude and Bronze, I am pretty sure Bronze might have been involved also others) demanded for me to know I was supposed to use a flat top in them and what was I doing with those batteries in there let alone button tops at all, and I gave a long explanation including how someone said it was not only alright but better but they were like "You could damage them!" and I got all freaked out (even though it had been happening for SOME time (stop judging me) so then I switched them all and I notice little difference other than more battery life and I pulled out a 2.5 with an extension tube JUST so like I could use my long AW batteries.
I buried my protected batteries in the dark of night, in the back yard, next to the dead dog, because I was like "I hate these and they are useless and people are scary about them.
Okay you can stop judging me now.
The moral of the story is, don't buy protected batteries and yeah they fit IN A PROCYON but maybe they shouldn't and don't try to deconstruct one (for vaping or any other purpose.) LOL.
