SmokTech Telescope is air tight!

[thinkingaboutit]

Flame Temperatures some Common Gases is a good place to look. A tip of a cigarette (the cherry) can push 1700 degrees. If ever got it caught between your fingers, you know how hot it is lol!

I couldn't get higher than 151 degrees. Standard bic lighter measured with a raytek. I highly doubt that it is that inacurate. I was hoping to max it out at least...

Man you start getting lawyers involved and your going to have people faking battery fails just to make some $$.

Yeah, this is True... It' a Crazy World. And People doing what they do and Lawyers telling a person they can Cash In for it Only Makes it Worse.

Well if your going to be the first to bring it out, your going to be the first to the take the heat. Thats just how the game works. If there is something to this story (and I think there is) and the vendor(s) chooses to ignore it - now you got a real problem on your hands.

This is True Also.

I have found that 99% of the Vendors I know are in it to make Money. And if there is an Angry Mob at your Door, or Sub-Forum, that it isn't Good For Business.

I'm sure that if there is an Issue with this mod that Vendors will figure out a way to get it Resolved. You make more Money that way and Everyone is Happy.

These kinda mods is why we get put on the media you think smoktech gives 2 bout us blowing our face off noo but the media sure does and that were its gonna hurt theres people buying these in co-ops will some drill vent holes in them prob will there be newbs buying them most likely im not telling people what to buy but in the end its the community that gets hurt if these blow

Its much hotter then that, take the lighter and put to a piece of metal for a bit. Then take he the temp of the metal. That would simulate the effect of the lighter on that spring. Id bet its far far higher then 150 degrees.

Hey Guys,

I rushed home from work today because I felt an obligation to do this video. I received the Telescope yesterday and was immediately alarmed by the lack of venting. I know not everyone will agree with me here, but the proof is in the pudding and I do test the assertion that this thing vents through the threads. Take a look and see what I came up with.

With all the safety talk as of late, I felt like this was something that had to be posted in an area other then the "Reviews" section. I know this thread will be looked at by mods, if they choose to move it, that's fine of course. But given the fact that ECF has taken such a stand for safety, I believe that we face an even difficult battle in the future and that is Chinese manufactures creating mods that lack ANY of the safety features that have been implemented in domestically designed mods.

I believe it is in the best interest of the community that this discussion take place and that we/venders demand that Chinese manufactures at least match the lowest level of safety features that most mod makers follow.

This review deserves a bump, it's an excellent honest true Review, telling the truth about this Mod, and ANYONE that would buy this Telescopic Mod with the dangerous way it is made and NO safety features like venting or hot spring would be OUT OF THERE MIND, its a accident waiting to happen. Sense Field you've just done the ENTIRE vaping community a big service by providing this review, a job well done.

gotvapes not gonna be happy about this video.. just like they weren't happy with phil's hyper srt review

hehe..

Yes its easy enough to drill vent holes to protect yourself. The 2 cents fuse (i think should work in this mod) would be fine too. The fact that some people may be lying or just dismissing this, angers some. Maybe gotvapes should ship a 2 cents fuse with each mod? They cost us 9.00 im sure they cost the vendors much much less.

The flame from the average lighter are 1,000's of degrees. Some places have shown the blue portion to reach 3,000 degrees. So a hot spring would have movement at those temperatures. Im not sure of a collapse - but you would see movement. GrimmGreen had his silverbullet's hot spring go off twice on him with a AW IMR battery and a ViVi nova tank. These springs are made to burn very quickly, because an bad battery can blow quickly.

Then why can't you test a thermostat on a car with a lighter it only needs 190 degrees to move it.

The sensor on a car thermostat really needs to be immersed but a lot of people do that to test their car thermostats. They use candles too, which seems kinda funny.. but they do.

Ok, I tried. I held the metal from a binder clip in the flame.

20 seconds barely beat 170 degrees.
35 seconds got to about 220.

I stand by a lighter not being a solid test for the spring.

This might help someone http://www.nfpa.org/assets/files/pdf/research/rflithiumionbatterieshazard.pdf
Has some temp information on failures

We will agree to disagree on this one. Ill contact the guys at alt smoke and find out what their spring is designed to melt at because a lighter will set off their hot spring.

 

[mwa102464]

This will tell you just how hot a Batteries temps will reach when they are shorted, so the hot Springs must collapse at a much lower temp then the Batt would ever reach for the hot spring to work properly. cgr18650ch.wmv - YouTube

Imaterial ......... I assure you that I have a flame that will reduce it to a little pile of goo, but that still doesn't make it a hot spring.

Just Curious?

What Color did the tip of the Binder Clip turn to when it was in the Flame for 35 Seconds.

Light Cherry Red?

I'm going to go with u have no idea what a thermostat is cause the link you posted isn't talking about a thermostat it's talking about a temp sensor. I'm just going to walk away from this thread cause your all just on a witch hunt.

Actually you couldn't be more wrong. I backed that mod 110% and got into arguments with people that believe in American made only mods. You can see my posts for yourself. Safety is the issue here. I dont care if the mod is made on Mars - if there is a concern about how unsafe something is - let people talk about it. Witch hunt, get over yourself.

I am only disagreeing on the bic lighter hitting a minimum 1000 degrees part.

Imaterial ......... I assure you that I have a flame that will reduce it to a little pile of goo, but that still doesn't make it a hot spring.

What does that have to do with the temp a bic lighter reaches and if it is a valid test?

It covered in soot almost immediately. The longer time I thought I saw a little glow through it, but it was hard to tell. It cooled down pretty rapidly, so when I read 220 it may have hit higher for a seonc while I grabbed the gun...but not 800 degrees higher.
