![]() I suppose this is a simple one… just put your batteries in the correct direction. However, I still highly recommended putting your batteries in the correct direction for a proper ground. The reason this still works is because your load (RDA, RTA, tank) does not have a polarity. Technically, when using a single 18650 mechanical mod, it does not really matter which side you put your battery in, even though I would never recommend doing this. Mechanical mods are simple circuits, a battery, a switch and a load (resistance). The dangers of using a vape battery upside down: This includes putting a battery in with its positive pin facing the mod’s switch. ![]() The Issue: Putting vaping batteries in the wrong direction Vaping Battery Orientation: Head in the Right Direction! If you do not feel comfortable re-wrapping yours, we recommend just buying them or checking with your local vape shop professionals. Note: While some people rewrap their batteries and have zero issue doing so, the safest thing we can recommend is simply buying new batteries. Be sure to keep battery wrappers clean, and when you’re not using a battery, be sure to store it in a vape battery case. If you are an experienced vaper and feel comfortable re-wrapping your batteries that is fine as well, but please be very careful. There are some vapers who prefer re-wrapping their damaged batteries. If there is a cut, knick, or any other sort of damage to your vaping battery’s wrapper, I recommend buying a new battery, especially if you like the idea of keeping your hands and fingers. The danger of using a battery with a damaged wrapper arises when the exposed anode contacts the inside wall of the mod, completing the circuit and causing a damaging, and potentially dangerous, short. The dangers of using a damaged vaping battery:ĭamaged battery wrapping exposes the metal body of the battery which in this case is the anode (negative electrode in the battery circuit). This includes using vaping batteries with chipped or nicked wrappers, using batteries with the entire wrapper removed, using batteries with “rust spots," or using batteries that are just filthy and gross. The Issue: Using damaged vaping batteries All of the following vape battery safety precautions are things I have actually seen done that can be extremely dangerous. From putting batteries in the wrong direction to building dangerously low resistance coils for a single battery mod. In the time I worked in a vape shop, and even now when I am helping at vaping events, there are things that I see vapers dothat are downright scary. There are unregulated dual-battery boxes, but those require an even more detailed explanation, so we’ll deal with them in a future post. Common vape devices we see that are considered “unregulated mechanical tube mods" are single 18650 tube mods and single 26650 tube mods. ![]() This means you should take extra safety precautions when using a mechanical mod. They are simply metal tubes into which a vaping battery is inserted. In vaping, “unregulated tube mods", also known as mechanical mods or tube mods, have no circuitry or safety protections. ![]() Mechanical Mod Single Battery Safety for Vaping ![]()
