Is It Safe

[sammy13]

I left home at 7am this morning and after a day from hell and trying to get back home I have just walked in.
That is a different story but I have had vape problems.

Firstly whilst out and about I use evods, (as protanks smash when dropped) , so battery was fully charged up, evod was clean, new head.
I filled it up popped it on battery and it wasn't right, then it was gurgly, I removed it and the battery was flooded.
I dried everything off I could, outdoors, hoody sleeve was useful

Once everything was dry, and I refilled etc, I sat down to take a vape. ( god I needed it by now )
Then a little girl fell over and hurt herself near me, so I dropped my e-cig in my pocket and went to help.
Bending over, picking her up, etc, got everything sorted with her, and took my e-cig out of my pocket to find that the circuit board ( is that right ??? )
square bit with wires - was hanging out of the battery.

I popped it all back together, tried to remove the evod but it wouldn't budge, got a laggy band out and eventually the evod came away from the battery.

Made sure the battery was all screwed/ fixed together, re-cleaned and refilled the evod - not easy outside freezing half to death, with gales, popped it back together and carried on using it.

Now my dilemma,

I am now home and the battery is flat, is it safe to charge it?  

Battery is an vv twist type thingy.

If you've put it back together properly and it's been working then it should be safe to charge. Stand by with a damp towel just in case lol

Yes, it will be fine
Just as long as the wires inside didn't snap, which would have meant you couldn't use it afterwards.
This is exactly the reason I moved on to more durable mods, got tired of snapping egos in my pocket!

Charge it in a biscuit tin, if it pops then no harm done

I don't know if I put it back together proper, imagine the scene, freezing cold, shivering, children crying, stressed out, needed it, gutted, I just shoved the square bit with wires attached back in and was quite surprised when it held together but it did, probably all the eliquid that leaked glued it back together lol.

I'll be honest with you Sammy.
After all that bother with the gear you have I would simply dump it, but only after you had ordered something a bit better and more reliable.
The BEST thing I'm using at present is an ARO on top of a Mini Lambo 6. Indoors or outdoors it's perfect. Will not cost you a bomb either. 25-30 quid the lot.

Thankyou, it's not just me and my bad day then? They do snap off at the ego/ 510 connection thingy?

I may have been on here a while, but I will be totally honest, I have no clue what you are talking about with ARO, Mini Lambo 6.

Not just you Sammy, I've lost count of the amount of egos I snapped at the connector end. Usually either drunk or at the football, or both...
Most go back together easily, but if you snap the wire, it's solder time, or just bin as they're pretty much disposable at todays prices.

You want to get yourself a mech and a kayfun clone or genuine, no gurgles or any of that and dead easy to sort out when things like this happen.


The worst thing I can imagine out of everything you said is kids crying lol ARGH!

They are indeed good...and far better looking than the ubiquitous ego batts. The thing is., if you've got something that looks good and performs to your complete satisfaction, you look after it. Accidents should not happen I pamper mine.

Thankyou, like I said without going into detail I have had a day from hell, and thinking I have just buggered up a £25 battery by been stupid ( although not sure what else I could have done in the situation) well I am happy in a way to hear that is happens to other peeps if that makes sense.
I don't want to blow myself up though charging it , I used it today because I had to ( well I had a cig a like disposable as back up but that don't count )
