DAMN! Watch ""Controlled" explosion of a UltraFire 18650 batte…" on YouTube http://youtu.be/ZTzEHsJVZhA

I couldnt agree more with this Chris. It is a disturbing trend to see some of the questions that are asked. I do not chime in because I have vaped for about a year and a half now and never even considered anything I have to build or rebuild because its not in my forte' of skills lol. It really should be an activity practiced by the top few % of vapers that have an honest and true understanding of it. Like I have said many times, the misuse of Mechs and batteries by noobs not ready for advanced PVs are in my opinion the single biggest threat to the future legality of vaping.

If this doesn't scare u into using your mod RDAs and batteries right, I don't know what will.

I'm going to sticky this topic with a title change because as has already been said, battery safety is a serious issue. One I think some of the newcomers don't take seriously enough. Great video.

Even a VTC 4 would be nice to see.

I guess the good news is even with a direct short this battery puts out a fair warning things are not right. That gotta be one hot potato long before it blows.

glad to have IMR

A good reason to choose IMR over Li-ion batteries. IMR will vent and the chance of exploding is slim if your mod has proper venting in place.

I'm surprised the acid didn't eat through that cardboard box lol.

Oh no, definitely not.

Now imagine that in a enclosed in a mod, in your pocket or in your car while your shopping. Battery safety is no joke.

Brutal. I've been waiting for one of these videos to pop up somewhere. Thanks for sharing, Rob.
