Ha one started venting on you? I'd think the battery has had it, and I'd worry about your set-up. Mech mod?

If it was me geordie_vaper I wouldn't take the time to check the atty - just get it all out of your hands fast and only check the atty once the battery has burnt itself out and cooled down.

[geordie_vaper]

yeah i would wait a good few hours till i go check if it did happen

[giles]

Lobbing it out of the window sounds good to me.

But it isn't likely to happen, except just possibly when charging, unless you have a mech mod or are using stacked batteries. If you have a mod, you should have a charging bag or some other way of making sure that if a battery does explode while charging it won't burn your house down.

am waiting for a mech from ft, i no the limits of my batterys and will be well in the limits so should be fine i might get a bucket of water for my room i dont want to throw a mod out of a 3rd story window just incase it happens

A sand bucket is the way forward. Bury it in sand or earth if possible. Water might not help with a venting lithium battery and could make things worse.
I like the "throw it far away" idea, but this wouldn't be a great idea if you're in a busy street, or driving or sometig like that.
I guess the best advice is to make sure everything is well maintained and operated safely.

I'm sure there are those more knowledgable than me on the subject, on this forum... but that's my best advice

Throw it as far away and safe as possible

[geordie_vaper]

my garden has fences around it so would hope it would be ok

Official battery safety advice.

Keep calm at all times.
Slowly and gently open the back door.
Throw the fu***ng thing as far down the garden as you can.
Slowly and gently close the back door.
Open Lap-Top, order some more.

Official advice from the virmin of the European Parliament. LOL

[geordie_vaper]
