Will a mod still work if you fry the mosfat chip

[williamclarkonet]

I put my batteries in wrong in my twisted 420 mod and it started to smoke I took the batteries out immediately but the mod still works as normal does this mean the mosfet chip is toast?

it may have just gotten really warm but not enuf to pop the chip... be more alert to further opportunities for it to fail sooner.
most of the time a mosfet will fail closed ( stays on all the time)... this is what you will need to pay attention to...

I'm agreeing here, I think the question is, if the mod still works, is the mosfet broken? I don't know that chip but it sounds like Bunnykiller knows the solution and what to watch out for here.

Glad you weren't hurt, and (hopefully) your mod's not hurt.

I think if it was toast it wouldn't work at all.

Yet another post here without a proper answer, but does a mosfet (switch, presumably?) have reverse polarity protection? An unprotected mod will vent as soon as those batteries go in the wrong way, was that the case or did you have to fire first?

I know these are questions, not answers, but I want to be absolutely sure those batteries didn't vent. Please hold off using them until we know from a mosfet user. @TrollDragon, any input?

Thanks @VictorViper but I only use regulated boards and PWM's.

Looks like history repeats itself... Mooch answered that exact same question 2 years ago.

Thanks all for input I evetally returned a got a replacement

The batteries did vent immidently

If I recall correctly a mosfet is basically a switch, basically the fire button sends power to the mosfet, mosfet opens and provides power to the atomizer. They're in un-regulated because they can take more amps than a switch and they can withstand temperatures of 100c+. Anybody who's an electrical engineer or knows how these chips work feel free to correct me.

To OP; they can't and will not protect your' cells from venting.
