Unprotected CR2 Batteries in My Mod?- How I make them safer, please read if your making yourself one.

[Robert]

Understood, I just want to make mine safer. I didn't start making these to sell a bunch of them- but it is nice to sell a few, unemployment sucks. They made me a suppling Modder/ Manufacturer lol what a joke. I make these at my kitchen table- one at a time. I decided to try and keep making them better, because I wake up and use it everyday. This is only an extention of that.. Sometimes the way I describe thing I might tend to make them sound as good as possible maybe even better than they are, well I'm Irish. If I made what I think are improvement sound like the end all solution well it just isn't so. These vent holes are the best idea I could think of.

 

[Shreck]

Yeah. that supplying Modder deal is quite a laugh.
You got people selling caseloads of supplies in the classifieds and they continue to do it constantly. the same people all the time. I see the same people selling stuff like they HAVE a store but know it might get more sales in the classifieds, cause people will think it may be cheaper for them.
Yet a modder sells mods that are clearly not a production type item and they get sent to the suppliers section..
This joint reeks of favoritism!!!

Edit: Im sure this wont be a popular statement I have made, so if you dont see me around you'll know why!
And how exactly do you supple mods?? (suppling??) how bout Supplying ECF!

 

[Robert]

Yes, exactly your right. Even a moderator selling a bunch of stuff. All new stuff ! Selling stuff like he's a store.

I have 15 atomizers and 6 901 kits - oh no I bought too many

Bunch of BS-= Obviously they bought too much- They bought 6 kits and sell 5 so they 20$ and theres for free. Duh?

I cant even have a signature showing what PV I like! wtf WHY? Everyone else can post or talk about how much they lkike the Proddgy, SB, Chuick - what ever?

But when I tell people I like the one I made myself. and that it is better that all those others IMO and I give them instructions- not even really wanting to sell them one- I encourage others to make there own- but yeah if you can't I'd make you one.

 

[TDM]

Don't forget the guy that comes in once a month and sells 3000ml of 48mg juice because they shipped the wrong stuff!! I would find a different supplier if i had to sell juice i just bought and they keep sending the wrong stuff!!

 

[Shreck]

Yup, and the guy who just has a few kits to sell, but anyone who asks him if he has any different items, he always seems to just happen to have them on hand as well. Pretty convenient..

 

[Guitarslinger]

Well Robert-you should know by now that no good deed goes unpunished, lol.
Anyway-at least you've made an effort to improve and make your mods as safe as you can, which is more than I can say for some that I've seen. Keep it up!

CR2 shorted out and blew up a Hot Rod....

OH GOD! a hotrod blew up in eskys face!!! - nu-vapor

Use protected batteries people...

 

[Nuck]

A protection circuit is 1.5mm thick and costs $1.27. There are an infinite number of bodies out there. There is just no reason to ever make yourself an unprotected mod and even less to sell them.

I've learned everything from you guys about modding. If there is a protection circut that would be good to use, I would appreciate knowing where to get it. Got a Link?

 

[Nuck]

Here is one from DX but there are others in different sizes:

DealExtreme: $1.27 Charge/Discharge Protective Circuit Board for Rechargeable Li-Ion Batteries (17.4mm*1.9mm)

They also have them at pretty much all the online battery shops that sell li-ion in many different form factors.

 

[Robert]

So that one is for 3.7 volt- I assume I find a bigger one at one of battery places online. I need 7.4 volt..

How do those work like a fuse? Too many amps going through them shut them down?

This one is rated at 10 amps do you think a 10 amp rating on a 7.4 volt or high one would be suffiecient?

Thanks in advance for all your help.
Robert

 

[Guitarslinger]

Thanks for the link Nuck-was looking for these too. Any tricks to installing them or is it pretty much how it looks-one tab to - and the other to +?

This may be a little off the end of your thread. But its interesting about what you are saying about batteries venting. My friend who also vents uses 1 CR3.7 v battery and 1 CR 3.0 battery in his PV. Because of all the risk of something happening short circuiting or possibly blowing up I told him he is taking his chances with that, was I right to say that. He said it didn't make a difference, but I would be afraid to mix one volt with another volt of something gong wrong or messing up his PV.

 

[mnealtx]

Yes, you're absolutely right to tell him that - he's risking blowing up his batts with the dissimilar voltages.

 

[opuscroakus]

Very bad to mix voltages. Heck, I wouldn't run the same type batteries where one is at 3v and the other at 3.7v.

I have been using unprotected 6 volt CR2 Ultrafire batteries for four months with no problems. That said, I understand that I may be one of the lucky ones. If you do use CR2 unprotected cells, consider purchasing a high-voltqge vaping deivce with vent holes in the unlikely event that a cell fails. I use the Super-T1 which was first with such a safety feature. I have seen other 6v modified battery holders that accept CR2 batteries and they do not have venting holes. I believe the current incarnation of the GG also has this safety feature at nearly twice the price.
