Battery Safety and Ohm's Law

RSS

The two most common types of batteries that a regulated mod or unregulated mod would use are 18650’s and 28650’s.
If you are using a regulated mod (any mod with a chip), you will have to worry less about calculating your batteries voltage/OHM’s limit. Most if not all regulated mods out today will be able to regulate your batteries output, thus you will not have to worry about any possible short-circuiting of overheating your batteries.
You must review your batteries if you are using any unregulated mods (mechanical mods). A good website to freshen up on OHM’s law is: http://onvaping.com/battery-safety-and-ohms-law/
Lastly, if you choose to use a mechanical mod, please be an advanced vapor.

Do not carry any loose batteries in your pocket, backpack, purse, etc...
If loose change or keys touch any of your batteries, there is a chance of accidentally circuiting your batteries. This may cause the batteries to accidentally connect their negative and positive charges.
Use a plastic battery case or battery sleeve when carrying any loose batteries around.

Do not leave your batteries in a hot car or any place where the batteries have a chance of overheating.
Avoid leaving batteries in direct sunlight or a car dashboard.
If you have your batteries in a mod, please follow the same directions as the two previous bullet points above
Batteries get hot when they are being overworked, thus if you push them too far, there is a chance that they can “vent”. Venting occurs when the chemicals inside the battery become too hot and begin to produce gasses.
Caution: Overheated batteries have a chance to explode.

Please use an external 18650 battery charger when charging your batteries, even if your device comes with in-charging capabilities.
An external 18650 battery charger will maintain longer battery life and will not add wear or tear on your battery.
Never leave your batteries charging unattended.
Use a more expensive 18650 battery charger from either Efest or Nitecore. Cheaper battery chargers can lead to overcharging your batteries and make them more susceptible to venting.
