Well, mine started the 'unbalanced batteries' error and self charging nonsense that some exhibit. Tried the fix suggested on a few sites, but upon opening, the innards collapsed, due to them being shattered through dropping. There was no way to get the thing back together correctly, besides, the fix would have done no good, as that was never the problem. Probably a board problem?, but it is what it is  |
Unbalanced batteries error is a feature telling you that the charge isn't equal on all of the batteries, ie. 10, 20 and 30%, which means that charging them fully would get you 80, 90 and 100%. It's recommended to use an external charger anyway. I dropped mine 'round 20 times and it's somewhat finnicky in the battery bay but it still works great

buying batts from ebay is just dangerous, especially with all the fakes around of the vtcs. since i ordered new boots etc the last weeks i got another two of the samsung inr25 directly from amazon.working fine as usual, normal voltages etc, so no fakes. comments on amazon reporting about fakes of them too, but always from marketplace offfers (which are 2-3 cents cheaper than amazon itself). exchaning my old ones step by step, marked them so i know which ones are which.
still like the serpent smm, no leaking, wicking is easy as fuck (just look into a youtube vid to see how much cotton to use), taste is good. only thing i kinda dislike is its sweating between itself and the box. not much, just a little bit and isnt a problem. just clean it from time to time with a handkerchief

Wotofo Serpent SMM RTA
Review:
Well, even a blind man and his white stick, could coil and wick this thing, it really is that easy!
My go-to tank now, so much so, I've ordered 2 spare (well you never know, lol  )
Claptons, dual, single, ordinary 26g wire, tried them all, just supreme, and you can't get the wicking wrong, it really is that easy.
No leaking whatsoever!
If I can fault it on anything (and this is nitpicking) then it is the top fill, which is fine, but never screw it down tight, as the vacuum will make it really hard to unscrew, as there is no grip to do so.
Great vape, and a nice big 5ml tank for us Brits on the 2ml restriction nonsense, along with a price tag, that could easily be double for this quality, without a doubt.
10/10
Got 2 extra, case I leave any on bus

I'll just leave this here -

My apologies if "vaping" is not that same as "e-cigs" - I'm not a smoker so I don't know these things - always thought them to be the same.

its the same, but only the cool kids say vape...
LiFePo4 accumulators cant explode though, they can gas out. instant explosion isnt possible. if they gas out its either fake cells or bad usage (i can imagine that guy used high voltage with very low sub ohm wick. in that case even the most recommended batteries like the sony vtc5a would be at their edge with 50w @ 0,2ohm)

Well, if you have never seen an 18650 blow off, believe me, good for you, you don't wanna.
No sooner had I taken (or attempted to) switch the batteries in my vape tonight, when one of them sparked and literately shot across the room (I kid you not) like a rocket. Flames bursting from this single cell (yes, only one of them), it was wild, picked it up and through in sink, where it eventually fizzled out. My God, what a force these things have. Hand burnt, but this is one of a pack of 4, which worries me.
My vape device is destroyed, but I'm not worried about that. It's the ferocity in which these things burst, I got a good scare indeed.
Bear in mind, I was swapping these things over because they needed charged

Why aren't you people using normal products? Those standard vape devices? What is this about battery swapping and such?

I use batteries, tanks and bottle juice because its 10x cheaper than buying disposable/premade store ones.
For $15 I can get 60ml of juice. VS $15 getting me 3 e-cigs sticks in a pack.

30A 2600mAh set from my usual supplier, tested, and had an 8 month charging cycle, aka 2 in, 2 out (same pairs), constantly, well, hard going, but this is first I've had any blow on me, scary, it really was.

sounds bad, did the cell had any optical damage? have in mind that everything besides the little visible positive pol is negative on those cells. means even a slightly damaged heat shrink tubing can be a problem

Yup, I think in this case, it was my bad.
Top seal had come off, or wore thin, due to continuous scraping in and out of external charger, this, coupled with careless insertion into device, shorted battery (it had sparked a few times before whilst inserting) and should have warned me.
Beware!
Please take care of the cells when using an external charger, and inspect each time before using, even when new. Won't matter so much if you are charging these in unit all the time, but they do pack an explosive punch, so be careful, and NEVER leave on charge unattended!
I now see why they ban these from being in the cargo hold of an aircraft, aka, you gotta have them in cabin with you, else the results could be catastrophic. Very volatile indeed.
Got myself 8 of these as replacements (I like to replace them each year regardless) - 2600mAh 35A 3.7v INR Molicel P26A.
Gonna treat them with great care

yep thats the reason, be careful with such batteries. they can be dangerous if mistreated. if the heat shrink is damaged replace it instantly or if you dont want to do that get rid of that cell. that applies too if its damaged like with a dent (can happen easily if you drop your device)
your case is kinda stupid, sorry to say that but if it already sparked a few times you should have instantly removed that cell from usage
they arent banned from cargo hold though, only limited to a specific amount of power storage (depends from airline to airline). they simply cant ban those batteries because every powerbank is based on them and most of the notebooks are. try break open an old battery pack, it will hold a few of those 18650er cells soldered together

i quit normal cigarettes like 2,5 weeks ago... e-cigarettes are for pussies, come on. either smoke or don't smoke. for my own case, I think only few people smoked more compared to me.... for at least 20 years I smoked 2 packs a day, depending on the place I lived i was smoking Marlboro red or Luckies red. when I was working overseas in crazy conditions I smoked 3 packs a day like recently in Venezuela, last year in Bangui when my house was stuck in shooting for almost one month, or other crazy contexts like Libya etc...
i quit from one day to the other, got crazy anger outbursts due to the cold turkey kicking off of nicotine...but fuck I survived the first crazy week and it becomes easier every day now.
i thank covid19, i will take covid19 infection like a man and prefer my lungs at full capacity 
kick off smoking or smoke... but fuck off with pussy e-cigarettes. if I can stop smoking, all can, trust me!!
you will quit smoking, when you want to quit, do not trust the you-will-earn-money kind of shit motivations. you won't, you eat and drink like triple without smoking! fuckin gained 6 kg already since covid19 lockdown

Hmm, the most ridiculous statement I've heard in a while here, and that's saying something
Everyone is different, and what you are saying is like:
| Quote: | | kick off drinking or booze... but fuck off with pussy juice. if I can stop drinking, all can, trust me!! |
6 years now thank you, quit 'smoking', not drinking (I gave up curing that), and I'll tell you why I vape. I love it! I love the inhaling/exhaling part, like I did with smoking, that will never leave me, but I do know, if they had these 30 years ago, it could have saved me a lot of grief, and money
Cheers! JD and Ice please

Well, just because you quit smoking 2,5 weeks ago doesn't mean shit as far as covid-19 is concerned. The lungs are damaged and full of foreign harmful materials you'll never get rid of but it take ~8-10 years for them to get nearly completely restored.
And we'll see in 2 months. But good for you if you can stay off sucking chimneys from now on, there are only positives by quitting smoking (except for the cravings and weight gain coming after the initial nicotine withdrawal has passed).

Good luck on quitting skx7.. I used to think the same thing about e-cigs being a pussy way out of cigarettes, but I simply enjoy vaping at home, I couldn't keep on making my home, clothes and so on stink of cold cigarette. The whole pussy ordeal is some alpha male crap, a leftover from Marlboro stuffing the idea that cigarettes are for real men decades ago. It can be argued that it takes some badass-ry to voluntarily take the risk of killing yourself, but the opposite can be argued too 
When outside, I smoke regular cigarettes because I enjoy their kick more and they still feel more "right" to me, and I don't really want to bring my vaping device with me at all time, I find it kinda impractical compared to a cigarettes pack. It's also harder to sync up with other regular smokers, it can be hard to figure out whether you've smoked "enough" or not, which isn't an issue when at home. E-cig smokers always end up asking for a regular one during pauses

Well, this is where my new system comes in, lol. The Smok Mag P3 has 'limits', if one wishes to stick to them, lol.
Set MAX per day, and it will not let you puff another, even so, I still would never be tempted by a real 'fag' (LMAO), not now, and not even a quick fly draw of that thing, even through times like these
