using the same battery for different mods

[goober]

Is it safe? I've seen some videos on youtube where people say that they will only use a battery for 1 mod and never use that battery on another mod. Why is that? Is it just superstition or is there a reasonable explanation for it?

it doesn't matter as long as obviously the battery is meant to go into that mod. however some people may be saying this because generally if you are using a pair of batteries. batteries wear down over time, and generally it would be a good idea to have two batteries that have the same amount of wear together (rather than having one battery that dies after 1 day then having the other still at half charge).

If we're talking single battery devices I don't see any issues swapping them around. I do it all the time, or else I'd have to buy a lot of batteries because of all the different devices I try out.

Now if you had stacked batteries and tried to use one battery you were also using in some other single battery device and then stacked it with a different battery that might be a whole different story.

I use the same 18650 battery in several different mods that require only one battery. Not aware of any reason why this isn't perfect fine to do.

I have other mods the require two batteries and for those mods I keep my batteries in pairs and only use paired batteries on that mod.

Agree with the paired batteries, I've got 4 VV box mods that use 14500 batteries and the first thing I do is number them in pairs with a paint marker and then keep them together. I use any pair in any mod, just keep them paired.

Also when 1 goes bad in a pair I recycle both, not worth gambling on having the other one decide to go out in a bad way when matched with a new battery.
