  1. So, today i got the Baby kit and a 18650 battery, when i put the battery in it wouldnt close with the battery in and i couldnt get the battery out, i really dont know what to do to get it out!
  2. No ideas here. If it were me, I'd return the kit to whoever sold it to you.

    Just curious. What battery did you use specifically? Was it new or used?

  3. I would probably return the items as well, I'd imagine there might be lubricants that are safe and some potential method of trying to get it out.... But, I wouldn't want to have that experience my first time using it.

    The reason your battery is important is some batteries are slightly larger than others and it could potentially be a rewrap which would not be ideal. It's rare though, for a battery that is on the approved vendor list for that to happen... Either there is something blocking your battery from sliding in the way it should, or it's a surprisingly different kind of battery than an 1850 to be so large you can't close the door of the mod.

    So, it could be a problem battery, mod, or both. If you want to see if it's retrievable at all, I might consider traveling to a reputable vape store and see if they can help at all with this problem. If you bought the battery and the mod from one, go back and warranty your purchase.

    Best of luck,

    Anna

  7. That more than likely was the wrong chemistry battery to be used in a mod. Flashlight 18650 batteries are usually ICR batteries, or some other chemistry not ideal for mod use.

    Vape mods require IMR or INR chemistry batteries. Bone up your knowledge on batteries before you make your next purchase.

    Deeper Understanding of Mod Batteries Part 1

    • For those who want to learn the differences between IMR, IMR/hybrid, ICR, and LiPo batteries. What do those numbers and letters on batteries mean? What's an amp rating and why is it more important than the mAh rating when choosing a battery for vaping?
    Battery Basics for Mods: The Definative Battery Guide for Vaping
    • A popular and essential read to understand which batteries are safe to use in mechanical and regulated mods. Includes a frequently updated list of recommended safe-chemistry, high-drain batteries with their specifications.
  8. Buying a used battery is not ideal for several reasons. It could be near or AT the end of its useful life. It may "look" great, but have been rewrapped once or more.

    Battery safety is THE most important thing in vaping IMO honestly, as your battery is the one thing in your mod that can BLOW UP without warning and unexpectedly. With that said, IF you follow safe battery practices, I will give you a link to Mooch's blog to get you started on that: Mooch's blog | E-Cigarette Forum It is unlikely that your batteries will blow up.

    With that said, that is only the case if you follow safe usage, purchase, storage, recharging and etc. AND you are using the correct batteries for your device. Mooch has a table where he lists all safe batteries that he has tested including APPROVED battery suppliers at the bottom. ONLY use those suppliers, as that's the only way to be sure of battery safety. Use, charge, and store safely.

    I have to say, I know it's probably a disappointment, but I'm kind of glad that battery prevented you from using it.

    Best of luck, please read up on battery safety, warranty the mod if you can, and DO NOT try to get it out of there, as you have no idea what battery it actually IS.

    Also, I would go to a vape shop, to show them the problem and see if they have any ideas. BUT, do not buy batteries from vape stores either, sometimes they are rewrapped, or sold to vape shops as seconds, the batteries that have failed QM testing for the big 3 and etc. The ONLY way to be sure of your battery is to buy from approved vendors. The good vendors are inexpensive, they ship fast, and they will be what they say they are on the wrap. You're also probably going to need a good charger if they have one.

  10. To be honest, if you send a mod in with the wrong kind of battery stuck in it, I'm not sure that they will honor the warranty. I'm pretty sure that they are going to call that user error.

    THAT DOES NOT MEAN try to take it out yourself, BTW. Please don't. Perhaps you have a friend with more experience with e-cigs? If you do, perhaps that person could help you? Although I wouldn't personally want to do much with that myself....

    I'd contact who you bought it from and ask for some advice, maybe they will be willing to try and dislodge whatever it is you have that's stuck in there, possibly, but before going through shipping it and etc., it would be wise (JMO) to perhaps do some emailing about your situation....

    I'm really sorry this happened, but I am very glad you found ECF.

  11. i sent an email to the guy i bought it from so hope for the best, if i can't get a refund or replacement the i will try to get it out somehow
  12. Um.... Do you have any machine/electronics/harbor freights/even HomeDepots in your location? In case they will not warranty, I would strongly ADVISE seeking the help of someone near you that has experience with those types of batteries/electronics generally. Heck, even a computer repair store, SOMETHING??

    I just really, really really think that it's a bad idea to try and get it out "somehow" yourself. Think creatively if they won't warranty and take it to someone who understands electronics/batteries... It would probably be like a $5 fix, but they probably have tools and knowledge that you do NOT.

    I just.... These batteries are nothing to play around with. Please seek the assistance of someone knowledgeable and willing to do it, even if it takes some calling around/research.

    It is NOT worth getting your hand blown off over a $30 hell, even $350 dollar mod. Think it over.

    Thanks!

  14. Do you think ii could open up the mod from the other side (where the 510 pin connector is)?
  15. I'm sorry for your misfortune, but I believe you have just learned an expensive but invaluable lesson. Your new mod is most likely irreparable. I certainly would be reluctant to try to remove that battery myself.

    If you are going to be buying a new mod online, you might as well order a couple of proper batteries for it as well. Here are a few battery suppliers that I highly recommend selling authentic brand name batteries:

    And to make things simple, I recommend the following batteries. Pay attention to manufacturer and model numbers:

    30W-60W:

    LG 18650HG2 3000mah 20 amp CDR
    Samsung 18650 30Q, 3000 mah 20 amp CDR
    Samsung 18650-25R, 2500 mah 20 amp CDR
    Sony 18659VTC6 3000mAh 20A CDR
    Sony 18650VTC5, 2600 mah 20 amp CDR
    AW 18650 3000 mah 20 amp CDR
    30W - 75W:
    Sony 18650VTC5A, 2500 mah 25 amp CDR
    60W or higher:
    LG18650HB6 1500mah 30 amp CDR
    LG18650HB2 1500mAh 30 amp CDR
    LG18650HB4 1500mAh 30 amp CDR

    How many watts do you believe you will be vaping at? A 20 amp single 18650 battery is likely good up to 60 watts. If you believe you will be vaping higher than that, you probably need a 30 amp battery.
    I use a 75 watt mod. I use the Samsung 30Q and LG HG2 batteries. My usual vaping range is 30 - 40 watts.

  16. My guess would be no. Although there are a couple of screws that could be removed, the electrical components, primarily the chip set, screen, and soldered wiring, probably can't be removed without major damage. They are likely there to replace the 510 connector.

  17. Please don't try to do anything to it yourself. You do understand that batteries can blow up? You've got the wrong type of battery wedged somehow inside a gut full of electronics and METAL. I'm with Batitude on this one. If you can't find an electronics expert to help you, then TOSS the thing, chalk it up to "Life happens" and get another mod.

    It isn't worth the risk, it genuinely isn't. If it makes you feel any better, I have purchased the odd item that WASN'T a good vape for me and have given them away. Absolutely nothing WRONG with that, I was learning. BUT it's important to know that learning how to vape is a PROCESS, and that involves ERROR.

    Heck, if you can't find someone to help you with it, PM me. I will find something similar (as best I can) in my Vape closet somewhere (maybe something with an internal battery that's easy to operate, in fact I can think of something I haven't even USED yet) just PLEASE, if you can't repair it, recycle it. Seriously, try for the electronics expert or repair person, and if it doesn't work out, PM me and I will offer you some options, merry Christmas and all that, I will ship it to your DOOR, I value YOUR hands that much.

    Please don't have at it. Try to fix, and if you can't, PM me and we can figure out something to fit your needs....
