The Exploding Pen

[edyle]

So it wasnt the batteries

Your not wrong there, haha

Fundamentally it is always about the battery.

True hybrid,

Actually, a true hybrid does not have a 510 thread at all; like what I am using right now:

3d rda on nemesis; no 510 thread. Big centerpin. Big insulator.

The fake hybrid has a 510 thread but no centerpin in the mod, and relies on the centerpin from the tank to contact the battery directly.

But, if the atlantis short circuited the batteries then how is it possible that an rda works fine on it? Because rdas has a 510 pin as well. So having that in direct contact with the battery the same as the atlantis would, what difference does a normal rda has that the atlantis dont? And like def dock said, generally its the Atlantis atty

Real vapers dont use "pens"

Its been my experience that only those involved in drug culture call e-cigs, vape pens or refer to our juices as oils.

Dead giveaway actually.

He was not using a true hybrid.

He was apparently using a fake hybrid / pseudo hybrid.
And apparently he was using a bad choice of tank for a pseudo hybrid.

A pseuto hybrid takes a regular 510 threaded tank or rda, but relies on that tank or rda having a center pin that sticks out a lot, otherwise the top of the battery will contact both the center pin and the 510 thread, resulting in a direct short circuit.

The Atlantis is similar to the atty on the right.

The first 2 attys, you see, the pins protrude past the 510 threading

When they explode it is the pressure released by the venting batteries into a mod with no vent holes, pressure builds up and the tube finally pops.

The batteries are doing exactly what they were designed to do not their fault the mod wasnt designed safely.

The rest is user error for not understanding what hes doing, what needs to be paid attention to and lack of knowing the potential issues with the mods and toppers he decided to use.

I feel compelled to add: "IF" he used the correct batteries---- they were working as designed.

The original li cells and the early blends like icr actually have exploded and/or burst into flames. But again, in this case I would blame whoever said the battery was ok to use, either an idiot at the vape shop or this guy.

Sorry to say it harshly but frankly 99% of the time anymore it can be traced back to user error, it's 2015 how do people not know how to use Google?.

Excellent illustration. Just wanted to add that the major issue with some atties is that the center pin is "floating". Even tho it protrudes, you can push it up. Which is exactly what happens with hybrid adapters on such atties. That extra little turn to get the atty perfectly flush with the mod may be all it takes to turn a PV into a short circuit.

(Not lecturing you, of course. Just speaking in generalities.)

Ben discussed a week ago.

Ecig "blew up" due to user error or better yet "carelessness"

He was using a hybrid mech mod and an Atlantis which is known to have short wobbly 510 pins.

It wasn't a "hybrid".

It was a Mechanical with an atty that had pre built coils.

Never use pre built coils on a mechanical. They are cheaply made.
You don't get any quality control km a $2 coil.

If you can't build your own coils and understand ohms law, battery safety and basic electronics do not buy mechanical mod.

Know your own limitations and vape safe.

I dont mind all the lecturing and scoldings, i love this place, i am here to learn

Now i know Atlantis has a floaty side

Because people frown on helping people help themselves via humility for one.

For example... Let me google that for you
