Snails - Response on Threads Part 8

She's got > $100.00 bucks in batteries, so buy a button-top mod for 25 bucks for backup, if nothing else. Pico works for me, and is cheap, but has a limit as to tank diameter. But see latest reviews.

(Like Tibs said, but check English reviews )

 

[Katya]

Things will work out. No big deal in the overall scheme of life, for sure.....

Another thought, if all else fails (which I hope it won't), maybe you could try to sell or trade them? You'd have to get verified first, though, and this may take a while. Also, I don't know if battery trades are allowed here. Are there any mods that take button tops? The only one I know is a Provari...

Pico takes button tops? I have a flat top in mine.

 

[AttyPops]

.......

 

[AttyPops]

Now I'm not sure.

I've got a flat-top, but I think a button top would work.

I TAKE IT ALL BACK THOUGH.
Not sure.

Feels like there's enough "room" in the screw on cap.

 

[Katya]

I've got a flat-top

So do I.

Best battery for iStick Pico?

 

[classwife]

.......

My Pico Squeeze uses flat tops

 

[classwife]

...wouldn't be able to screw the cap all the way down with a button top

 

[AttyPops]

...wouldn't be able to screw the cap all the way down with a button top

Yeah, but you could USE it. I think.
But I don't have a button top around to try it. Or I'd be sure.

There's only maybe a MM of diff between the two, assuming it isn't a protected cell (that adds even more length for the protection board).

 

[AttyPops]

What I did was unscrew the top cap about 1/2 way and "shook" it to feel the slop inside. There seems to be room. I can't find a good link that says how much diff there is in length.

Anyone know?

I just tried an AW Button top...
Nope, couldn't even get a thread to grab...nada.

 

[AttyPops]

The AW isn't protected, is it?

 

[classwife]

The AW isn't protected, is it?

It is not

 

[Katya]

Anyone know?

I don't and I don't know enough about batteries in general to experiment. I just follow manufacturer's (and Mooch's) directions. Maybe if we knew what mods @Katmar and Marsha are using we could ask Mooch for help?

 

[AttyPops]

It is not

Must be why they call it the squeeeeeeeeeeeze.

 

[AttyPops]

Yeah. Some mods have an adjustable pin that you can screw up or down too, to make more room.

 

[tiburonfirst]

I'm sure it's doable, and even looks straightforward, but we're dealing with batteries here. Batteries store a lot of energy, and that energy is constantly looking for a way out. I might attempt to do it one time, in an emergency, but with 12 batteries? Oy.

well, kat will need only one at a time

 

[Katya]

well, kat will need only one at a time

For the next ten years or so.

 

[classwife]

This has been on my mind...

...I would make sure to not touch the casing when trying to remove the button !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not cool !!!!!

what verification? j0ker hasn't shown his face since may
