As long as you do not buy those 9,000 mah chinese 18650's LOLI can't see a law successfully passed that would make single cells illegal to cell or possess. Maybe OEM cells, but not consumer-labeled single cells.
Personally, as someone who rarely goes over 4 amps when I vape, I could use a Trusfire batt and be OK.
I know that a lot of other vapers can't do that, just sayin', though.
Oh no. Never. But I have no problems using Trustfire batts if it came down to it. I mean, they do have the word "trust" right in their brand name. That's gotta mean something, right?
No that was from doing that other sinful thing

Seems like I had some trustfire 18500's way back when...Oh no. Never. But I have no problems using Trustfire batts if it came down to it. I mean, they do have the word "trust" right in their brand name. That's gotta mean something, right?
Just ignore the Fire part of the name!
yep like I do not generally tell people to use recycled laptop cells.
FREAKIN SMOK!!! Too bad he wasn't using a decent mod so this couldn't have happened.
Not comfortable putting anything connected to a wall plug in contact with my lips....
I was just thinking out loud about something like a switching PC power supply. A regular 3 prong molex cord. Not even a wall wart actually. A 3.3, a 5 and at least one 12 volt rail. The 3.3 and 5 volt rails can push 25 amps, or more.
yep can be done safely and not for a non technician type at all.
Now ya got me thinking some more.yep can be done safely and not for a non technician type at all.
Yep have an old PC power supply I am using on my bench. Made a nice case for it and am running an adjustable 15 amp buck boost module with adjustable current limit off of the +12V with a digital voltage/current display built into the case. Can run about 1.5 volts to around 35V I think it is.
Heck I used it a few weeks ago to charge my lawnmower battery
And of course have all the fixed voltages brought out to banana binding posts.
also plan on using it to silver plate mod parts...
I’m wondering if he was so broke that he couldn’t afford a replacement mod or something. But the vape shop owner was really pretty ignorant, too.
And people like this can affect things for vapers like us!!
he may have been vaping a while and just had good luck up till then?
I disagree. Your point was that nobody died from drinking tainted alcohol during Prohibition, when the reality is that there were so many deaths the morally conscious even went as far as to call it legal murder and had to put an end to Prohibition as a result. Further, your assertion that all the people who use loose cells (not just vapers, but everyone who does) won't be able to still source loose cells from places like China or Southeast Asia with relative ease after a ban, is based on nothing but thin air. Where there's profit to be made from illegal import, illegal import will ensue. The inspectors simply can not check every package entering U.S. territory. Further, cells will be harvested from battery packs BOTH by people who harvest them without damaging the cells AND by people who do damage them internally in such a way that damage may be not visible on the outside of the cell, which poses a real threat if they sell these to uneducated buyers. As for the intentionally tainted alcohol, what makes you think that people who will illegally sell loose cells after a ban won't ALSO be capable to cause internal damage to the cell intentionally? It is you, not me, who completely missed the point about this whole issue of immorality, with your failed attempt to downplay or downright IGNORE thousands of deaths that WERE caused by tainted alcohol.
We're talking past each other.
No, more of a frustrated response, not well thought out and positive for vaping.
For those of us old enough to remember fuse boxes with screw in fuses....sometimes folks would stick a penny in to replace a blown fuse. Sometimes they got away with it. Sometimes they burnt the house down ...
i would not "put my pennies" into a smok mod in any caseAnd don’t put pennies in your Smok mod when it doesn’t want to work.
Thanks, Greg Conley is a great advocate. Plus he’s got good sensibilities imho. If you don’t agree, just practice battery safety and please leave me alone!

Much better mods to put them into.
But what better mod to blow up than a Smok mod?
I Smok's defense (gasp) he probably chipped that clip on the battery cartridge by being too rough with it.
Oh wait, never mind, he's "veteran"...probably not
