It can, and may very well happen to you if you keep on using builds like that.

I am wondering...just thinking out loud in type here...
You 'know' what you are doing, build properly...yet you are a "Switch Masher"
Someone that feels that they have to squish the life out of the switch instead of just making a connection...
I can see the force of this mashing a positive pin up eventually in an atty in a mod...especially direct to battery contact atty...
Could explain the "it was working just fine then boom"

And ironically there are just a handful of manufacturers who keeps vent holes on the top of the mod near the positive post of the cell where the battery usually vents. Funny huh? What if the Battery expanded so much into the tube that the gas couldn't reach the bottom vent holes? Kaboom indeed yes.
2+2=5 [emoji102]
If the bottom pin is threaded no, if it is just press fit then yes. I have attys that are made both ways.
When this happens, it usually shows on the battery. The positive end will have a dent on it.
Dented tops can make for poor connections.

Yup.
But Ill add:
If the vaper requires safety measures beyond themselves, mechs are the wrong option.
With a mech, the user is the ony safety.
Not exactly.
Yes it can happen by cranking the threads, but not by pushing a button.
Again mechs arent for people who dont FULLY understand the device they are using.
Cranking a mech until it crushes a battery isn't a sign of an experienced or careful vaper.
Yes there is a difference in the way the power is delivered.
Volvos are safe and will reach the speed limit easily, yet not everyone chooses to drive one.
I personally prefer mechanicals.
Sure it can.
If you are smashing a switch hard enough to dent a battery end - you are pressing too hard and it can push up the positive pin in the atty.
This is true also. The problem is, not everyone inspects their gear properly. I check my mod every time I change the battery, hell I even check twice to make sure I put the battery in right
People become complacent with vaping, just like smoking. Ever get tired of someone bumming cigs from and buy some loads to break em with? I did, it could have gone horribly wrong
Safety and knowledge go hand in hand in vaping, you can never know too much
I agree with Bad Ninja. People call me crazy, but even since the ProVari version 1 days I've always been able to detect a difference even when all other variables (coil type, power supplied) are the same. I prefer and have always preferred a mech even as the battery voltage diminishes.
There's something about direct to battery contact on a mech mod that makes the vape experience better for me, than a regulated mod.
Nope.
The lower contact doesnt push the battery. (Otherwise the battery would rattle around when the button is released)
Once the battery and atty are installed the battery doesn't move.
The throw of the switch is stopped by the end of the button. The soft copper or brass contact only moves to touch the cell.
It only closes the gap, it doesnt push the cell and more force wont make it move farther.
At least thats how it works on the 130+ mechs I own.
Please show me an example if you know of one and Ill be happy to show you how it works.

First off, the Fuhatten isnt a direct to battery mod. It has a center pin so its irrelevant as the short cannot occur like that.
Secondly, again, no.
The magnetic switch bottoms out on thw switch housing.
Its impossible to press the button on a Fuhatten and cruch the positive contact in the atomizer because centerpin does not move.
Vape safe.
Know your gear.
There's a few reasons.
As mentioned, some people prefer the direct current of a mech to the pulsing of a regulated mod.
Some people just like the looks.
Some like the hobby aspect of mechs.
For me, I switched to mechs because I never wanted to deal with a failed chip in my mod again. With proper maintenance my mechs will outlive me.
I'm sure there are more reasons too.
I think you could push the battery up enough to push up a loose center pin on an atomizer in the 4nine mod, though of course you should only be using fixed pin atomizers on a direct to battery mod.
