VTC4 developed spotting?

[Why_Try]

As the title reads one of my vtc's has developed some black spots under the cover. It may very well be juice that spilled in my carry case but wanted to see what everyone said in fear that it may be a sign of something that would deem it unsafe. It was purchased from a reputable B&M (not ebay) 2 months ago and probably has 20 charges on it, just to squash that first reply

thanks in advance!!

Two or three of my VTC5s also have this, but only around the top or bottom, I'm 98% sure it's from juice getting in my mechs when I over drip while I'm not paying attention.

That is my hope. At least there are two people here that "don't" drip and drive

I remember this came up a little while back, so I looked up the thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ng-under-battery-wrap-vtc4-vtc5s-18650-a.html

I know there were a lot of theories posted, I don't recall if there was any definitive explanation in that thread or not, though

Thank you for the link. i guess this is where I apologize for not utilizing that evasive search function.

I've heard but can't verify that it's the adhesive used inside the wrapping.

Looks like it may well be the same issue as in the thread DreamWithin linked to. FYI, in that thread, in post #21 I give information on how to re-wrap batteries.

Whatever is under the wrapper is not a safety issue IMO. If it gets way worse or just bugs you, you can re-wrap and try to keep juice off it going forward.

There is no adhesive under the wrapper. It is heat shrink tubing

Good deal. Thank you for all the quick responses.
