Continuation of the previous article on the safe use of mechanical Mod:

 

1. Avoid installing the batteries in series (stacking).

Unless you really know what you do, just do not.

Stacking the battery means a battery placed on top of the other in series so as to produce a higher voltage. So also much more stressful each of the batteries.


The two batteries stacking is not recommended.

We have designed all the batteries stacked. By stacking straining both batteries much more than that when the evaporator with a battery alone.

And your two batteries should have a very high rating C and unfortunately, most batteries do not. If you really want to stack the batteries, make sure that your batteries are designed to operate in this way.


Another problem with the stacking of batteries is, again, the over-discharge, i.e., a battery may be fully charged, while the other is half full. Sooner or later, then one of the two batteries will pro-apofortistei and will cause us problems.


Even in a new pair of batteries, there is the possibility that one of the two of these batteries to be "aged" more quickly than the other, so that one empties faster than the other. This is often even in pairs batteries stacked come to us by the manufacturer itself.
If you have no other choice, because you have a mechanical Mod receives only stacked batteries, then you can use a spacer (dummy battery) or buy the best quality batteries designed to be stacked. Always use evaporators with resistors that will not straining your setup and always check the health of your battery regularly.


If you really need higher voltage than a single battery can give, then it is advisable to consider purchasing a Mod with variable voltage or a Kick device for your mechanic Mod.


2. Prevent your mechanic Mod accidental detonation.

Apart from pro-apofortisi reason excessive use of a flat battery, another cause of pro-apofortisis and a stress battery is the use of your Mod for prolonged periods. Usually this happens by user error.
Electronics Mod like ProVari and Cloupor Mini usually have a predetermined operating time 10 to 15 seconds and then stop working to avoid this, and function "off" where you can turn off the Mod completely.
Some mechanical Mods can have firing locking mechanisms, which functions as an "off" mechanism. If your mechanic Mod has the capability to use each time you leave the Mod from your hands or store your Mod in your bag or even in its case. This will prevent accidental triggering.
If your device is not locked, then be sure to remove the steamer and make sure that nothing can short contact with the positive pole of the Mod. It can also help in this problem and the placement of your Mod to a small pouch type case before placing it in a casket case.

 

3. Always use safe chemistry batteries and never batteries safely because they are unsafe chemistry when more dangerous.

In today's market, there are many types of batteries that can be used in a mechanical Mod.

The two most popular types of batteries used in Mods is ICR (LiCo02) and IMR (LiMn) / hybrids IMR. Both are lithium ion (Li-ion).

In general, any of these batteries can be used in any device requiring a power source 3.7volt, including your mechanical Mods. But not all are suitable.

From a security perspective, the difference between the two (ICR and IMR) is the chemical composition of these batteries. An ICR battery can catch fire faster than a IMR because its content is simply more flammable. The ICR batteries is also generally known that stressful easier than the IMR.
There are two types of batteries ICR, protected and unprotected. Never use ICR batteries without protection to any mechanical Mod, since there is no security mechanism in them.
Protected batteries ICR have a basic level of protection that prevents your batteries against short circuits and over-discharges Protected ICR by rating C of the order of 2 Ampere or more may be used in mechanical Mods.
The IMR batteries, however, have a more stable chemistry, and is not likely to catch fire or explode as easily as the ICR batteries. We need protection and are often sold without. These are also suitable for mechanical Mods.


The general opinion atmistiki community is that in case of doubt, the IMR batteries are better for mechanical Mods. Generally the idea is that if an IMR has no protection circuit, from the nature of the chemical composition, it is safer than an ICR with a protection circuit. Protected ICR batteries have a history of failure of the protection system, especially the cheaper -the designer market. In fact, we have more fire and explosion incidents with cheaper protected ICR batteries than with the IMR.


4. Do not place the batteries upside down.

The external battery is always negative, hence the body of your Mod will also be negative.
Most Mods, the negative part of your battery is at the bottom of Mod to make the whole body "tube" negative.
The reason for this is that if your battery is damaged and wrap touches the metal body of the Mod, the body is negative and so no matter how you place your battery, short circuit will not occur. However, if the body of your Mod is positive and wrapping your battery is damaged then you are short.


5. Do not over-charge your batteries.

Whenever you have fully charged your batteries before loading them in your mechanical Mod, use a multimeter to check the voltage.
Usually not exceed 4,2 Volt, although many brands have a +/- .05 Volt specifications that allow them to go up to 4.25 Volt. If it goes beyond what is specified, then it is advisable to change your battery, charger, or both. A super-charged battery should be considered unstable.
To prolong battery life, recharge your batteries in 4.1volts and not to 4.2volts you consider a full charge. Also, never try to charge a battery that has discharged intense / violent. An audible discharged battery may develop an internal short circuit.


Make your mechanical Mods have ventilation holes. When you follow the rules already mentioned, you should be very good road, but even the most careful of us can and do make mistakes so he always wants attention. Even if you follow all the rules, there are just some things you can not avoid, such as atychimata.Otan happens, it is good to have some kind of safety net ready.
One of the biggest problems with a battery that is in thermal expansion mode (which can be caused by short circuits from excessive a stress or excessive discharge of the battery) is that the materials inside the battery swell rapidly.
A Mod without vents is a sealed container which can break, shatter or explode causing injury to you and others just because the pressure inside the Mod has nowhere to go.
A mechanical Mod with appropriate ventilation holes can prevent this increase in pressure because it is where to release the rapidly expanding gases before reaching their blood pressure to dangerous levels. Think of a Mod without ventilation holes, like a balloon, if the inflated will eventually explode. A balloon with ventilation holes, however, will defuse the pressure as air and blow into the balloon.


Now that we have covered the basic principles, even if they seem a lot or incomprehensible, very practical, common sense and above all safely at some point they will become your second nature.
