Positive protector ring

[flavourtank]

Does anyone know if the positive protector ring can be thicker then normal?

I want to make a template for these rings as getting them in uk is a mission,

What material can be used for these and do they require certain thickness?

I am guessing you mean the ring on the top of a battery, I just use a bit more heat shrink, but it depends on the battery and the mod if that will cause a contact problem it has for me with post 2014 25R the +ve is slightly lower than 2014 batteries. In general a thicker one would be fine within reason/

yeah that ring lol would paper or card be OK to use or does it have to be plastic?

Can't think why card wouldn't work fine.

I can't see any reason why not, just want to make sure it's safe to do so, I've seen ft ones are adhesive paper or others on ebay are adhesive card

The plastic from supermarket milk containers would be better.

Cool thanks VapingBad

This is what I do flavourtank just use a bit more heat shrink and do the top first, this is a VTC4 BTW.

Just an observation, the paper/card 1s I have seen are in soldered battery packs like in drills or laptops.
I would think they wouldnt take much abuse being clunked in and out of a battery sled or mod.

A4 acetate sheets are what I try to find in my Mrs' craft stuff.

She has 1 of them craft robo machines that you can program to cut stuff out but she wasnt very warm to the Idea of cutting out hundreds of acetate washers.

link took me back here, you should tell her it's a money making product due to no one else selling them in the uk (trust me I've searched)

Its like a thin film of polyester plastic, comes in various thickness.
You can normally get 10 sheets for a couple of quid off ebay but you need to make sure its gonna be thick enough for the purpose.

If I could get it up and running Id have a crack at doing them meself.
Ill have to try and sweet talk her into lending it to me lol.

Ive talked the good lady into cutting some out.
These are what she has found in her craft cupboard  to cut them out from A4 top and side covers .
Seems to be of the correct material/thickness for the job.
The sizes Ive come up with are 16.5mm for the outer dia and 9.5mm for the inner but till Ive wrapped 1 tomorrow I dunno if that will be any good?

First of many (hopefully)


Only trouble is there clear so Ive had to sharpie it to see how it fitted on the battery.

good man, I've asked the sign makers next door to see if they can make them. All is looking good so far they are using adhesive vinyl which is microns thin.

Hopefully something will work lol
