Who uses unprotected batteries in your Mod? Any issues?

[Rob4092]

Just picked up a Bolt. All I have are unprotected 18650 batteries. Do any of you use unprotected batteries in your mod? Has anyone had issues doing so?

I use (FT - $12 a pair) Panasonic NCR18650 2900 mAh (gray) unprotected in both my mechs and Vamo V2. I use Protanks for my mechs, running 1.8-2.5 ohms and have had no problems

I use AW IMR batteries in my 18350 and 18500 mechanicals.

I've also got 2 Panasonic NCR18650PD batteries that I use from time to time.

No issues whatsoever, just have to be careful to set everything up correctly and avoid shorts.

I'm OK with AW IMR ONLY, and then only on a RBA I have coiled and tested. Anything other than a "safe chemistry" without protection is a risk I will not take.

You won't have issues as long as you're not pushing the battery, and you know what you're doing.
A majority of my batteries are unprotected.

I use Panasonic CGR18650CH, as long as you are not vaping sub ohm, it's not dangerous.

Good....I didn't want to have to go out and buy more batteries!
