Guy blew his 26650 mutant up at a cloud comp at the big convention in texas. P Bsuardo did a vid on it about two weeks ago. It literally blew a hole in the floor. If I can find link I will post it.

The only reports I have seen about Texas are a some eGo's that blew when charging. Most were people charging them to long or not using the charger that came with the battery. Do you have a link? If so please post it.

Isn't this the same battery that blew up the mod in Texas.

Don't take battery safety lightly!

That was also due to a lot of really BAD fireworks as well though, LOL. Can't count how many rockets have ended up in the field because they couldn't get 10 feet into the air!

Never the less, good point.

It is not unlike the Government to think they are protecting everyone from the ignorance of the few. A good example are Fireworks, also became heavily regulated and just plain banned in some states.

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.

It is also a good example of why you use the right batteries in a Mech and not just putting in any battery.

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'd like to see someone do this with a vtc5

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.

DAMN!

What happened to that BettyCrocker "CompyCrocker" Recipe Book you were working on???...

Ok thanks Compenstine

For obvious reasons I can't share any recipes, but I can offer advice on testing. I build a coil at 1.2-5 ohms and yes I change cotton and dry burn before each test. Also keep some coffee grounds handy to reset your taste sensors.

Anyone have any good recipes they wanta share? I havent tried Mothers Milk yet. Anyone have one for that.

Also how do u go about testing your flavors, do u just keep changing your cotton?

Very interesting read. I'll be sure to try your tip of using a very small amount of Menthol to create a less harsh hit without full menthol flavor. I'll visit my local smoke shop in the next few days to pick some up and report back with the results. Gotta finish watching my History Channel. American Revolution Patriots Rising! So far so good!!!
