Every time a vape related accident happens people get all pissy and scream about how dangerous they are, and every time if they actually knew what they were talking about they’d find out that the user was just stupid and mishandled the vape/batteries. I’m just glad the top comment was someone pointing out that either way the battery going up in flames wasn’t something to blame vaping for, but a user error of some kind. I’m sure that people who already hold their opinions on mechs, and vapes in general won’t like that but whatever.

The only reason to use one is if you like the look of them, or if you really want massive clouds (which is why I never use mine.) Especially with the quality of regulated mods, at this point theres really barely a difference. That being said I agree that anyone who doesn’t know their shit should stay far away from any mechs. At the end of the day mechs are safe if you aren’t dumb about it, all you really need to know is battery safety, and ohms law, the rest is common sense. I’ve met a fair number of douchebags with them, but I’ve met far more douchebags with Juuls. It doesn’t matter if you have a cheap TrustFire 18650 (you shouldn’t) or the much-revered Sony VTC5, exceeding a battery’s maximum voltage is a recipe for disaster. I also get where you are coming from with that over the top “everybody who uses the item I don’t like” stuff, but at the end of the day most shops I have been to hardly carry mechs if at all, and don’t push them to anyone but the customers they already know have Ohms law and safety aspects down. As we learned in the battery spec section, charge voltage is one of the most important numbers in battery safety. If it was hand and face injuries than sure, but with leg burns it really wouldn’t make sense. But I do feel like I should pipe up and quickly say that the atomizer would have nothing to do with it for leg burns. Note: My build is at 0.27 ohms, using a VTC5a battery, so I am well below the CDR for the battery.I rarely use my mech, only got it because the shop I was working at was closing and it was cheap as hell. If there is arcing, it would seem to be more dangerous for that to happen at the positive end of the battery than the negative, would it not? Which way would you put your battery in these tubes?Īlso, the question of arcing at the switch arises. The tubes in question are a Vaperz Cloud X1, and an AV Able clone. But two have venting at the bottom and no internal insulation. So, how do we decide which way out battery will go in the tube, assuming we always check the wraps for damage? Or if the setup is particularly robust the battery might run down below its cut-off voltage and be damaged, leading to venting.īut with the positive down scenario and a damaged wrap, you are hard shorting the battery which will cause it to overheat in a few seconds, perhaps vent, or go into thermal runaway. Something in the setup may well get hotter than it should and the battery could overheat. The cotton would soon catch fire, adding more heat. If a positive up scenario has a damaged wrap and auto-fires, as long as your build is well within the amp CDR of your battery, all that should happen is a build up of heat generated by a firing coil, and the running down of your battery over a period of minutes. With the positive down, if there is any unnoticed damage to the battery wrap, the negative side of the battery will connect with the positive body of the tube, hard shorting the battery and causing it to immediately heat up with possibly devastating consequences. When the switch is pressed, the positive end of the battery connects with the positive body of the tube, completing the circuit. The RDA 510 pin touching the battery has become negative and the body of the tube positive. If the battery were positive down the polarities are now reversed. That way around, if there is any unnoticed damage to the battery wrap, the negative side of the battery will connect with the negative part of the tube, completing the circuit and causing an auto-fire situation. Like most batteries, they come with a positive and negative end. The body of the tube is therefore negative and the circuit is only completed if you press the switch, connecting the negative end of the battery with the negative body of the tube.

This is built into the battery just above the positive terminal and. In a hybrid tube, generally, the battery should go positive up, so the positive pin on the RDA connects with the positive connector on the battery. All Li-Ion batteries have what is called a PTC or positive temperature coefficient circuit. Firstly, let me say I know the answer to the basic question, but I want to get people's views on mitigating risk factors.
