WARING TOO ALL..Just Be Very Careful.

[Heavyrocker]

I locked the firing button ring down on my Natural and decided too change from a big batt too a smaller one this morning.After unscrewing the mod and screwing it back i twisted the locking ring open and didnt realize it,put the mod im my case and went too lock my door,well,I was waiting for the elevator for less than a minute and took out the mod for a vape and it was super hot,i had too drop it on the floor,im ok and no damage,im damn lucky i pulled it out for a vape,PLEASE make sure your firing buttons are locked,maybe time too get a 2 cent fuse.

Me too,i got a rush ill tell ya,it shut off as soon as i pulled it out of the case,these batteries are VERY dangerous and POWERFUL if not treated with the utmost respect,some people dont realize this,they can pack quite a ''punch.''

Glad no one or nothing was harmed. I got myself in the habit of turning off my PVs before putting them in the case as a result of hearing my Provari fire when I slid it into the elastic strap that holds it. Thankfully it was noisy enough to hear. With the built in cut-off, I pobably would have been ok. But, why risk it?

good news is you just opened the second level on your battery it will now be more powerful than any other battery
its now a supersaiyan battery 1
if you unlock it to level 4 only then will you know absolute battery power..

true story

I've had my mechs accidentally fire on 3 separate occasions and it's scary. The button on my roller is super smooth and I never carry it without turning it in the off position. Glad you're OK!

 

[Chelley]

that's scary. I'm glad your ok.

Some vets here are probably tired of seeing this battery, but since the topic is relevant, here's my story. The above Trustfire protected 14500 battery is what was left after venting in thermal runaway when my mechanical mod was left in a pants pocket in my locker at work. The BB mod has no turn off switch. The protruding fire button got compressed and over-discharged the battery and it decided to turn into a firecracker. The mod was too hot to touch when I found it, had terribly scorched the pants pocket, blown out the ends of the battery and melted its casing.

Here's another incident that is documented, with what is considered to be one of the safest batteries that we use in vaping - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-battery-failure-imr-18650-a.html#post3265928

None of the batteries that we use in vaping is totally safe. Respect their power. Use common sense and practice proper battery and mod safety. A Vape Safe Mod Fuse, or at least a 2 Cent Mod Fuse, offers a layer of protection. If carrying a spare battery in a pocket or purse, keep it in a plastic battery case to avoid loose change or keys which can complete an electrical circuit and cause a thermal runaway.

If I'm throwing a mech in a pocket or drawer, I generally either remove the battery or the atty, just to make sure. It's very little hassle to either replace the battery or screw the atty on when I need to use it.

I've had locking rings loosen up in my pocket, ego batts turn themselves back on, and various APVs turn themselves back on after being placed in my pocket while turned off.

A few spins of a ring or a few presses of a button aren't that unusual if something's rattling around with stuff in pockets, bags, or drawers.

One advantage to this method is there is only one possible point of failure (you forgetting to do it) which is still an issue with any sort of locking device, so it's a far safer alternative to locking rings and the like.

Glad you a ok Heavyrocker. One thing I like about the K100 is the hard spring and positive lock out. One thing, a fuse is not going to help in this situation. They will stop a short, but not prolonged activation.
