Weird question

[tara81]

Can e-cig batteries blow up in your face? I read on the internet this happened to one guy once .. scary

There are cheaply made batteries. Stay with quality when you put a potential IED in your face.

Probly if you over use it

Overuse?

Many of us chain vape. The issue is more likely to be with cheap/wrong batteries. However, it is very unlikely as long as you're not using a coil unsuitable for the battery.

You get what you pay for with batteries and with all these "dangerous" lithium ion batts going into every ecig device your going to get a negligent owner who leaves it on a charger unattended and it blows across the room. Rare cases from the little research I have done. Never had one blow up on me I just keep a close eye on my older batts when charging monitor how hot they get and dispose of if needed.

Im just concerned about my face , i know its a little weird. I am using S 510 joye (cig lookalikes only 170mAH) And 2 evod VV batteries (1100 MaH).

Should I be considered ?

Don't short it, and if its Li-po, don't over discharge it.

Or always buy a decent quality battery which will have circuit protection and then you needn't worry !




Oh and don't throw in a fire

I don't blame you ! I would be very unhappy if it went bang a few inches from my face. But no, you'll be fine - Keep calm and carry on vaping
Mind you - if it starts to feel very hot, throw it one way and run the other

Tara, I'm almost 4 years into using an e-cig. I use tip, atomizer, and battery. Everyone's choice is different. I have never heard of a battery blowing up in anyone's face. That's not to say that it can't happen, but this is the first I've ever heard of this. I would be interested in learning what brand of battery the person used. I suppose any battery could blow up....talking about all of the batteries that people use in electronics today. I have had an atomizer fall apart. I do clean my batteries by using a nail file to scoop all of the goo out of the battery connection and paper towels that doesn't leave residue on my battery charger. I feel that this prolongs the life of the battery and charger. I do know that if you place the wrong charger end on a car battery to jump it off it will blow up in your face. My suggestion is to research it. Odds are the chances of this happening are very high. Lets see what others have to say by their posts. I wish you well. An e-cig was the bridge of getting off of tobacco for me. I pray it does the same for you!

If you put it in a 200 degree car or puncture it, maybe

Don't know about e-cig blow-ups but I did burn myself a few times on real cigs

 

[trentenmarschel]

i had the same feeling when i first got a cheap gas station brand ecig the cheap cigalike ones i would vape so much the cartridge got real real hot so that tells me that its possible for it to explode because things like that shouldn't get that hot while using them.

Is it possible? Yes. Is it likely? Not if you follow basic rules of battery safety. I just went to a great class on the subject at DC Vapefest. A few of their key points: buy the best quality batteries available, don't store them loose in your pocket or purse or junk drawer where they can short out on other metal objects, let them rest about half an hour after taking them off the charger, and, if you see any damage to a battery, don't use it. Get a good quality charger, and don't leave the battery on the charger overnight. And realize that no battery lasts forever. (props to Zen and Neil Helland for this information).
