Opening it is easy. Closing is harder. If you wear acrylic nails it might not be a great match
no acrylic nails but I do spend a couple of hours painting them and do decorations on them as well each week nails chip, its just frustrating when I have to do something constantly that chips them like change batteries with a stiff latch. Thanks for mentioning it. I think ill check one out at a vape shop before i purchase.

You can open and close it with the ball of your thumb, or at least I am able to. Testing it is a good idea though

@bombastinator

May I ask how you managed to do it twice? :?:
It was one of those 18350 smok pipe mods. It was back during that time when safe chemistry batteries were known as imr and I had them. The thing was in my pocket and I had a pressed button which caused my battery to melt to slag. Burned holes in the inside of my jeans pocket but no other damage. I resolved to never put the thing in my pocket again but lo and behold I forgot and did it anyway. I retired the mod after that. Still have it somewhere. Haven’t used it since though.

Once reduced a Omega and ( I don't remember the exact mech mod) to component parts after a drinking night with my brother. Lucky I did not have a full melt-down, fell asleep with it in a cargo pocket sitting on the couch. was that one with a thread-down lock ring for the bottom-fire button but obviously that wasn't spun down at the time. Every plastic and/or rubber component simply fell out of it, lol. Life lesson learned.

Lol. Reputations rarely spread on facts and evidence, more often they rely on bias and supposition.

I both agree and disagree. Regulated mods can save you from yourself and re-wraps, while a mech will pull any and all based on your build. A mech mod can give you the best hit and do it consistently so long as your batteries hold up their end of the bargain. Your limit is the battery/batteries (though I say the same is true with regulated mods, less the greater risk of injury. The old selling point on regs was consistency from fresh to nearly depleted cells, but the battery performance is still the determining factor. Random incidents (such as dude on CCTV at the gas station and his pocket being capable of lighting up Burning Man) happen, and mostly due to things such as putting your batteries in a pocket of change. More recent incidents seem to have happened due to lack of knowledge and schooling (which I consider the community a culprit, myself included as I've been vaping and building for years but only recently posting and replying on the forums. The big selling point for switching is the simplicity and the (assumed) safety and the more serious warnings tend to get down-played to not shy off new converts. Everything in life these days comes with warning labels, but in this case the reasoning for a warning would be true as adding one or two more of these cells would have the voltage & amps to jump-start most cars. Education is key.
