Hello there not sure if it’s a problem or not but in my squonk mod I’ve noticed that when I press the fire button the brass connector that runs up the side of my squonker touches my squonk bottles steel lid and the lid touches my battery at the same time,everything works well just wasn’t sure if this could cause a problem of some sort maybe a short

On the chance the battery wrap gets damaged where the bottle top touches the battery, it can cause a short. On the one mod I had that did this, I put a piece of shrink wrap on the contact so there was no metal to metal contact on the bottle. An 18650 battery wrap usually fits as well, just cut it to fit the contact and slide it onto the contact and shrink it down with a hair dryer or heat gun.
Thanks for the advice don’t have any battery wraps so i’ll try some electrical tape thank you
Thank you good advice i’ll wrap some electrical tape on my contact where it touches the bottle
It is highly recommended for anyone who uses removeable batteries to have a few battery wraps on hand, especially if your running a mech mod. Damaged battery wraps can be dangerous in a mech, and wraps are dirt cheap.
Some Tape on the Bottle Cap would be an Easy Fix.
Also, this stuff can be Very Handy when you just want a Dap like on the End of a Screw or on some Funky Shape.

Liquid electrical tape is an amazing product. I have used it in tons of appications. Very handy stuff that I always have on hand.
That Stuff is just Nice to just have around. It comes in Handy for All Kinds of things.
It could, temporarily. But it would actually be easier and safer to rewrap. It isn't hard or expensive to rewrap batteries. My local shop does it for free, maybe a shop near you will too.
I use that liquid tape a lot, it is good stuff. If you are careful it is water proof and I have yet to get a buzz when touching the connections. Good advice, Z
I’m just being lazy lol! I bought some wraps this week and just need to do it. I’ve never done it before and tbh I’m a bit nervous.
It's not hard. Just go slow and be cautious of metal objects around naked batteries.
Nope. There is no issue if you touch the pos and neg with your fingers at the same time.
Okay thanks I think that’s what was worrying me the most. I’m not very dexteritous because of ms & fibro so I can see me twiddling around with it in my hands. No problem keeping all metal objects away. Thanks for the advice. I’ll give it a go tomorrow then.
Absolutely you are a Conductor. But, and I mean this is the Nicest Way, you are a Very Poor Conductor. LOL.
That is why you can Hold a Battery by the Ends and Nothing happens. But if you put a Wire or a piece of Metal (a VERY Good Conductor) between the ends of the Battery, all Heck breaks Loose.
So Not to Worry if you touch the Positive and the Negative ends of a Battery with your Fingers.
