so i am safe to use it currently i dont have any money had to pay studen loani got ones worse then that i use
i got an iStick Pico 75Wto be clear i use mine in regulated mods
i have no clue if this could be something not use in a mech mod
thanks mateyou should be fine imho
I would recommend replacing the cell as soon as possible. The impact that caused the damage to the POS pin could have done more damage that isnt visible and you would have very little way of knowing until something went wrong. I prefer to err on the side of caution when talking batteries.
I've used worse.
Just because your a disparaging coward doesn't mean everyone is.Just because you did doesnt mean the OP should.
What are the advantages?
I totally agree but if someone attacks me over a comment that should have passed as nothing more than someones commentNO need for all this senseless name calling and bickering. We are all just trying to help each other in the end.
look I have no clue about how batteries are made
But I do know the following
1. I have several batteries that have the top pushed down
2. I used them everyday in regulated mods for many many months with no issues ever
3. When I have rewrapped said batteries and You can clearly see there is some tolerance built into the positive end for damage and movement to occur
Now having said that
I could see that if the damage was so great the battery would have issues. It may not work, it may short . I have no clue but it probably wont work period if you put it in a regulated mod.
SO put it in the mod, see if it turns on, monitor it while using it for a few hours. If nothing odd happens then its probably fine to keep using for quite a while. It would be great to run out and replace every batter that has some damage, But you know what, the mods themselves cause some of the damage.
The positive pins that are stiff like in my ipv 3li actually are the cause of most of mine damage positive ends and I feel my IPV 6 is doing the same thing.
SO use your common sense. These batteries can be dangerous. The manufacturers know this and build them to take SOME limited beating and still function. Think about this. How many of you have dropped you cordless drill batteries that contain 18650s and the like. We all have at some point.Don't you think some of those that you can't see have been damaged slightly and still function just fine.
If you have a positive end pushed in slightly. test it in a mod see if it powers on and watch it closely. If you dont feel comfortable doing that then dispose of it and get a new one.
NO need for all this senseless name calling and bickering. We are all just trying to help each other in the end.
Yes you did now be a man and admit it.I meant no form of attack to you @Angrygod50 and I wont take responsibility as the aggressor there
Yes you did now be a man and admit it.
Had the battery been severely dented I would have told him to trash it but it isn't. Did you even look at the picture before you attacked me?
Seems to me if the battery was damaged enough to start shorting, then it wouldn't matter if it was placed in the mod or not. It's sitting there all alone doing its own thing melting down.
Use it until you can get another. Just remember, the thing that caused this can make the situation worse if it happens again. Also, the force that damages the battery also risks damaging the mod. I've bent those cheap flat terminals just like this.
Straight from mooch blog:
- If you see physical damage to the metal top or can of the battery. Things like dents and deep scrapes should not be ignored! A damaged wrap and top insulator ring can be replaced without needing to replace the battery.

I will apologize for any comments which have been found to be "inflammatory" but none of them were intended as any sort of attack.
