My K100 cooked a couple batteries last night and I am wondering what may have caused it. I didn't change a thing on the mod, just changed out the battery. I did put it in backwards though (positive end down instead of up. I tried hitting and the button got hot, so I popped the battery out real fast. I assumed it was due to the reverse position of the battery. I put in another, and same thing. So I inspected the mod, noticed the spring was a little crooked, so I took it out, inspected the end cap and tried another battery. Everything is back to normal, but what the heck? Now I weary of the mod. Could putting the battery in backwards cause a short? I've heard of folks doing this on some mods due to battery size, and assumed it just wasn't a good idea, not that it would short the mod.
One battery's plastic melted a little near the negative end which makes me worry that the exposed metal could cause a short in the future. So this relates to the OP, should I still use it? Has anyone had this problem and covered the battery somehow? I recharged the batteries and they seem fine as far as holding a charge.
Another somewhat related issue that isn't a big deal is that it takes a second for the juice to crackle after firing the button. I have not altered the mod in any way until now (just removing the spring last night). This added to the issue with the battery, since I'm used to waiting a little to get a hit I just thought it wasn't firing for some reason and kept cooking that battery. The second battery didn't cook as long, and so didn't melt before I popped it out.
Thanks
