What I'm afraid of is the day the USCPSC decides to ban the sale of 18650/21700 li-ion batts to US consumers, leaving us no choice but to harvest them from power tool battery packs.
Laptop battery packs are cheap option too. Usually they are 6-8 of them in a "pack" and they are wired in series so they are pre-married
Also as a side note I don't hear a lot of about people setting things on fire or things being set on fire in the external battery vape world though of course it is possible. What I do here about at least once or twice a month is a Tesla setting on fire.
Now I concede that the usage and the danger zones for the two products are significantly different but not all of these Teslas have been in some sort of accident when they decide to become a massive chemical fire. Aren't the Tesla batteries the same and aren't they in a safety pack? Does that mean that vape mods mask produce vape mods have better safety features than a Tesla? Or am I just confusing two things that really have nothing to do with one another? Which is completely possible because I know next to nothing about Tesla's
Well remember the Samsung phone battery debacle years ago? And those weren't even user-removable batteries. Just up and exploded on people. I forget what specific galaxy model it was, bu it was probably over 5 years ago now.
RIGID rocks.
...or just steal a Tesla.
Months ago, maybe even over a year ago now, I came across a site that listed which power tool battery packs contained which batteries. I wish I bookmarked it.
I don't know, but I do know for the most part they don't really know much about battery safety and couldn't care less.
Each Tesla has approximately 3000 18650s (they're starting to use 21700s now too) which makes the risk a bit more elevated if something does go wrong.
I remember the local wound clinic had a sign in the waiting room that no Samsung phones were allowed in the patient rooms

Yeah. It was pretty wild all around. I thought it would hurt them more than it did. Even the Notes survived (for a while).
Modern laptops don't use 18650s, they use custom-made pouch cells. Older laptop packs were never high-drain cells. Power-tool packs do use high-drain cells and would be a much better choice.Laptop battery packs are cheap option too. Usually they are 6-8 of them in a "pack" and they are wired in series so they are pre-married
The Model S and X used close to 7000 than 3000 18650s. But just like laptops, they aren't very high-drain / high-current cells. 21700s are used in the Model 3 and Model Y. But Tesla's new hotness is 4680 cells, which are just starting production. Not a great size for vaping, IMO -- too fat.
Thanks, Elon!
All this time, I never knew you were him.
Make us some batteries, wouldya?
Nah, if I had even one tenth his wealth, I'd have bought ECF rather than Twitter.All this time, I never knew you were him.
If your subtle humor is to say I stated the obvious, I agree.I had to read them twice to make sure.
