+Mike Vapes thanks buddy

Totally Right Mike !

yeah and update every 4 months or so , cause new vaper's tend not to watch old videos .. Great video with great advice ..

Yepper!! Damn cell phone can decide to blow up while its right next to your face!

Hey and thx for all your awsome videos. I shared this video on the half way in or something, my family are always giving crap about e cigarettes and vaping and i am so bad a explaining so this defenitely go shared diectly lol. :D

✅✅

If he vapes in class I will pay even more attention

😂 scared me straight too

I just bought some new ones because of videos like this. My old batteries were 3 years old and damage on the wrap. Nothing happened yet, but I'm gonna really, really watch out now and not be stupid anymore.

@@rubenvd3913 what kind of batteries you use?

I agree totally about those bad rewraps. Question about the chargers. All the chargers I've used have the feature where once batts are charged, they stop giving charge to the batteries. Is what you are saying above about the 'what if' situation where the charger may not function properly? Just curious. Thanks.

Yes, all chargers will cut off when the battery hits 4.2 volts but I've seen cases where batteries have over charged and caught fire when a cheap charger did not do this. As a backup to this the current charger i have also has thermal protection and will cut power if it detects the batteries are over heating. Even a decent charger could still fail and potentially over charge batteries, nothing is infallible.

Mr. Delphi that's why I have my Efest LUC 6 plugged into a surge protected power strip at all times

XJ ALL DAY j

TheMojophotos ive fell asleep many times and left my flashlight 18650 batteries charging and never thought much about it until i saw recently how dangerous a 18650 battery can be, now im scared 2 death of 18650 's

time to get some videos on your channel I guess you could and definitely will save a lot people with all this battery fuzz :D thanks for all your efforts man and keep on doing what you do

Mooch do a battery testing video OR even better what it takes to blow it up.

Agreed

Mooch you got a youtube channel, use it! make some kick ass and informative vids on cells and safety. you could explain what's happening so much better than anyone else. matt did a great vid tho.

You rock Mooch! Really enjoy your appearances. Got a Triade DNA250, and I know it will fire down below .1ohm, with 3 batteries, say Samsung 25R, 20A batteries...how low can I go? LOL.

r3c0v3r3d you look like keemstar

+bace drop I'm youuurr HOST!!! Killerrrr Keemstarrr!!!

Or natural selection

paul marhuish *not-so-common

I miss the days when it really was.

paul marhuish common sense noun 1. sound practical judgment that is independent of specialized knowledge, training, or the like; normal native intelligence.

I think it should be common sense to know you need to understand equipment you use, put next to your face, or in your pocket next to your little buddy...

little buddy made me lol

MRmoofoo2you it happened for well over a year. Everyone used a mech even noobs. They learned to do research or question on a group. Easy. It's so easy to learn how to use a mech sagely

MRmoofoo2you safely *

As soon as common sense or logic is involved, nothing is safe. The planet is FILLED with idiots and stubborn people who "don`t need manuals".. Those are the ones that show up in the media with burns on their legs or lost teeth.. People put their pets in the frikkin` microwave for god`s sake..

I disagree. As Matt said, regulated devices provide safegaurds to protect vapers from things like shorts, too low builds, stuck buttons, etc. These things simply won't happen with a regulated mod. Yeah, you CAN keep your mech from exploding, but you risk any and all of those problems. It's not even like there's any kind of advantage to a mech. So use a regulated device, it's just better.

Only reason I have a mech is I wanted something "unbreakable".. I never use it, but I figured it would be nice just in case my other 11 mods all break lol :p

Well said :)

4 years ago were so ancient....... Get back to me when you had to use boge cartomizers...

Thiseus Gaming luckily my local shop gives you a case to hold 2 for every 2 you buy if you buy 4 batteries they give you 2 holders

Randy Monger that’s freaking awesome. Vape stores need to promote battery safety by giving away those cases with batteries. That’s great

I work at a vape store in MN. Most of our batteries do come with cases, and if I see anyone carrying them, we throw them a free battery case. Better safe than sorry.

Straight up !!

Jai you are no reviewer you are a pathetic entertainer here who knows nothing on coil building or coiling or wicking You know nothing about the industry at all I know more than you here I run a business in the UK and it's more successful than yours jai Rant over I'm done here your not worth it jai you are a utter waste of space and you are giving the vaping industry a very bad name with all the Drama that you do on your channel Your pathetic and the sooner you close your channel down the better jai

@@MommaWolf1967 wow!! it is big tobacco who speaks? hahaha somebody need to stop being jelles , i run a busniess to and its bettter and yours nnananananan

Jacob Harwood how is it holding up? just ordered one today.

I’m sorry. But if you put a 0.1-0.15 ohm build in a dripper on your alien, it will be way better on a mech.

Yaxez meaning when the vape production is minimal, its time to charge the battery instead of draining it out?

Most regulated devices shut down when the voltage gets too low. They also usually allow a safety margin and shut down at about 3.2 volts - rather than going all the way down to the allowed 2.8 volts. I like regulated devices with replaceable batteries, so I can vape using one while the other is on the separate regulated charger.

Hoverboards don't exist currently. Those stupid things roll on wheels. They don't hover

Yaxez thank you I'm vaping right now and I was told to look this up if that this was in the news about about people having their Vape blow up in their faces

@@Chilling4Shillings look up hover board on KZfaq the exist

Xavier Ancarno yeah i think I said that somewhere in the video, but that insulator needs to be put in place and it cant be damaged

you are absolutely right but if people do not know if a battery is safe to use, I do not think they'll know how to wrap it and even the wrap process is definitely not for the less knowledgeable people (average users)

faisal amin I've never re-wrapped a battery myself, but there is a shop near where I live that re-wrap them for me, I just pay for the wrap itself. They even told me that if I buy my own wrap elsewhere, they will wrap my batteries for me, free of charge which is awesome! Usually I just buy new batteries though, by the time the wrap is getting damaged, the battery life is usually decaying and the batteries are not lasting as long as they used too.

Mr. Otto it's essentially heat shrink that can be purchased at most hardware stores

SweBass charging by way of usb is safe if the mod has a good charging circuit I use a DNA 250 I have no problems and my mod will charge fully in a hour and I do not worry about damage to my batteries from taking them in and out

One reason that USB charging isn't really recommended is that you can get uneven charging in a dual or triple battery mod. If it reads 8.4 volts from the battery sled, it will think that your batteries are all charged up, but depending on the mod it might actually be overcharging one and undercharging the other. This often deceases the overall lifespan of your batteries.

Ericstraordinary I've heard Tales of that with other boards but In the evolv DNA 200 250 75 they monitor each cell separates so it ain't going to happen lot of safeties build into it to make sure it does not happen as well

Ericstraordinary depends on your mod. Newer mods are using better charging methods. Take the smok alein 220 it charges one battery at a time. It charges B battery for 3% then switches to A battery for 3% and alternates them until there fully charged then stops charging all together.

SweBass do yourself a favor and buy an external charger

Only you can protect pocket and face fires

Yes

If I was to go full mech I would do the same, $40 a year for safety is cheaper than hospital bills.

I’d be careful using Sony’s now a days. Bc if I remember correctly it’s been a bit over 2 years since they made those, so there’s a chance it could be a re-wrap. Always check the authenticity and source of batteries! 😊

Brian Galvin how do you charge your mod can i charge mine with a usb?

I have just wrapped 20 layers of wraps around my battery, am I doing this right? Only downside is I can't seem to fit it in my mod anymore, guess it's time for a bigger mod.

shared this with my parents who had questions. thanks Matt!

Of course you could also build your own coils in rebuildable tanks and use them on regulated mods.

mr giggles are regulated mods the mods with the battery built in?

No, regulated mods can have removable batteries but they contain a circuit board which provides safety features (low voltage protection, reverse polarity protection etc). You can usually tell a regulated mod as it will have buttons to adjust the wattage and usually a screen.

While I agree, he does mention at 6:15 that it is possible for batteries to short out in a regulated mod. Chances are probably slim to none, but regardless. The only way to solve this problem is for people to actually learn, and apply battery safety.

mr giggles yea and ill just continue to use my phone flashlight. (sarcasm)

mr giggles I have smok g prive , is it regulated mod??

I run both regularly. While the battery life and safety is much better with regulated devices, there is just a different vape you can get from mechanical mods. Really, they should market the mechs towards the pro builders instead of the "average" vaper

Gurvinder Parmar ahhh scary!! Ban it!! Or... educate, we could educate... but you're right learning hard.

idiots who are too lazy to educate themselves should be banned lol not mech mods. these 'clouds bro clouds' types of people are what is damaging the vape industry by blowing themselves up with improper use of mech mods. #mech4life #educateyourself

Gurvinder Parmar They shouldn't be done away with, just made way harder for someone who doesn't fully understand everything that is involved with them. I've witnessed people in vape shops talking about different mod/atomizers that they shouldn't have because they don't know everything behind them. If I go into the local vape shop that I always go to and there is somebody that doesn't really know much, I try to help them along with the couple that own it. I'm not saying I am some expert on this kind of technical stuff, but I sure do know enough to keep me safe. My decent sense of paranoia also keeps me safe. I bought a mech mod a while ago and used it for about a week because my batteries started getting torn up. That was last summer and I haven't used it since. I know how to be safe with it, but it's not worth risking it in my opinion. I don't see how somebody would rather use mech mods over everything else. I am a regulated mod user. That's just how I started. Without all these youtube channels about vaping, I honestly think I would know very little about vaping and would likely be one of those guys on the news. I watched so many youtube channels dedicated to vaping for like 6 months before I started vaping because I was super interested in it, not only to quit smoking, but as a hobby. It's more of a hobby to me at this point, but I couldn't just quit that hobby out of the blue. I'll probably be a vaper well into my old age..... or unless the government pulls some kind of bs to kill vaping for good.

I don;t know about banning them but mech mods should have huge warning all over them--especially hybrid mechs. The Noisy Cricket is one of the biggest problem mods because it is cute, small and cheap as dirt! I saw an unboxing for this mod and it didn't even have a damn manual! That is unacceptable. Shame on you Wismec and Jaybo.

Hahaha me too. I was wondering if I was the only one. I Really got nervous after reading the comment above about the guys aegis legend blowing up! My wife and I have been using the same mod for about 3 months now. We've not had any problems though 🙏🤣🤣

Buy a better quality device joy tech is very cheaply made and one in a thousand could be faulty I had the i joy and it wasn't firing and luckily I opened it up as the one battery was heating up so I threw it out the garden and it blew up out there but would have been a different story if I had put it back in my pocket and I did some research on joy tech amd they are a low budget device to make more profits so use it for now but upgrade when you get some extra money in your pocket maybe smok or something better

A cheap option is a voopoo drag. Great durable dual 18650 mod. Up to 157 watts. Great color choices. I have a silver with the turquoise panels. But I only use it to prefire my coils, i mostly usr mechanical tube mods.

But both of you will be fine. Take batteries out if not using for extended periods of time. Like sleeping or if you dont take it to work. Dont use damaged/broken wrap batteries.

I've been wondering the same thing. But I think those might be the people who used to smoke 3 packs of cigarettes a day, so now they need to have the vape basically attached to their face at all times.

You might be out the whole day.

Chad Schrader single 18650 probably wont last a day for everyone depending on the build or tank they are using. I vape a lot when i get the chance at work. Even dual battery mod might not last a day if you vape on with high wattages. If people would be smart enough they'd at least get a plastic case for them...

Battery boxes are a thing people.

Chad Schrader I had two 18650's go nuclear in my pocket. Scary shit dude. Didn't blow but got god awful hot and burnt my leg. Melted my keys in my pocket. I knew then at that point. Haha.

Look It's That Boy out of the hundres of thousands that have been made

@666lml666 2.5million Note7 were sold. I can't find how many were manufactured but i remember from somewhere that around 4mil were made. As only 130something "exploded" (more like melted) the whole thing was blown out of proportion, no pun intended. Everyone either bashed the phone cause it was literally the best one on the market, or were parroting shit for clicks.

All smart phones should therefore be banned from all public places.

Actually only like 34 im pretty sure...

Look It's That Boy everything that has batteries can blow up

tim riley wtf

tim riley pure gold

Because some people just want to pick up a mod and fire it, hard to explain if you used one for a few months you would know what I mean

I have used mech mods off and on for years, and still don't see any real attraction. It used to be that the only way to get high wattage was with a mech mod, but that has not been the case for years. Now regulated devices go just as high and far more safely. And they are available with large batteries, which used to be the other attraction of mech mods. A disadvantage of a mech mod is that the vape quality decreases continuously as the battery discharges. Unless you are using a regulated mod at close to its maximum allowed wattage, that does not happen.

@@buggsy5 yes true just all comes down to personal preference really

Because its the last things that makes the cut between ambitoned vapers and idiots who vape because it is cool

I feel like mechs are alot more snapy and they can be alot cheaper🙊

Blown up yet? 😋

@@PatRiot- I think he is blown up. :/

I've vaped for eight years and never had a problem.

WhatAJoker lmfao 😂 rep yer naysh man

That's a rvca hat😂

+AnAngryMudkip I'm gonna make a separate video on safe building. Mooch has been trying to recreate thermal runaway with low ohm builds and it's not happening. He can give you more info on this. I doubt he went down to .01 though. I'll get more info on it. Again, i didn't say it was impossible but it's not the reason for this recent uptick in batteries blowing up.

Suck My Mod well if you ignore the fact it's vaping, and look at it as an electrical circuit it would be the same principle, mooch will vouch for this. but yeah maybe extreme low builds aren't as much of a problem as originally thought. however I wouldn't like to try vaping a 0.07 build on a 5a battery haha. I just think that you need to emphasise that building really low is still not a good idea, you can still vent batteries that way, I've done it myself. I'd worry about those new to vaping mechs trying to go super low and then hurting themselves (via venting) and they may come back saying "oh well Matt said it doesn't matter how low I build" and so on. more to cover your ass man.

AnAngryMudkip yeah I wasn't trying to make it sound like it's ok. It's still not good for the batteries regardless. I will be making a "building for noobs" type of video soon.

look forward to seeing it dude. the info needs to be out there, otherwise we're gonna end up loosing our mechs.

Bigboi666 He said that the does in the news isn't coming from low ohm builds, it's coming from the other reasons he mentioned. Batteries very rarely vent due to being used with low ohm builds.

LOL!

And it helps u keep your face 😂

It's actually possible, for example through the cigarette charger/cord in your car. It's funny to think now how we charge our e-cigs through the cigarette lighter socket which was originally designed to "light" it instead. ;D

kaser99 yes

No

Pens are sorta dumb tbh, I'd get an actually mod.

I got the smok 22 for my first vape but to be honest I'd spend the extra and get something better. Research is key.

what you get ? ,,

GhostVaperYT or people getting stabbed with scissors

or people gettinf obesity from mcdonalds.

GhostVaperYT or people going brain dead shortly after listening to a Trump speech.

Or people going blind after seeing your cancerous comment

GhostVaperYT or about life causing death

-euqirnE- -niuqaoJ- why do they explode sometimes?

I have had the unfortunate pleasure of experiencing 2 thermal runaways on two different Mechanical Mods. They were both high quality Brass mods and both of the scenarios Matt explained here are exactly what caused it. The first time a tiny piece of Kanthal I couldn’t see had stuck to the inside of the RDA and it happened to get wedged between the switch and the base of the mod. (Due to the magnets in the switch collecting it from my build table) I got lucky and wasn’t injured. The second time was in the same week! Made the mistake of installing an RDA that didn’t have a protruding 510 pin. It exploded instantly and burned my inner thigh plus gave me a 2nd degree burn on the palm of my right hand. It was a nightmare! Been vaping for over 3 years at the time and just got carless. I mismatched the RDA to the wrong Mech Mod tube. Cost me a weekend in the ER so it can happen to anyone!!! Please!! Always keep your head in the game while installing your batteries after a build as well as keep a clean build station!! Sounds like common sense but we all have gotten distracted while finishing the last leg of a build. Vape On and God Bless!!

Based on what research? Seems improbable...

VAPING RAGE QUITTER you'll be singing a different tune when your teeth get blown out

Tacreviews21 if that ever happens it will be my fault and i will not use it to get attention or publicity
