More EFEST battery woes...

[vapetek]

Couldn't see it so sorry if repost but Efest are in the papers now...

I don't know what to make of it tbh and I'm not familiar with the mod in question. Can anyone shed any light on this other than using EFARSE.

To me, the below statement says it all...

Adam explained that Kirby had put the battery into his Tugboat e-cig (which has replaceable batteries) to see if it was the battery or her own e-cig that wasn’t working.

ooo no... poor girl... one thing I want to know - was it efest battery or a fake (as I own about 6 fake once...)
did it exploded in mech tuborg? or am i missing something?

I can only think of the following reasons, obviously not help by using the efest:
Unregulated box with battery mismatch
OR
Mech clone with no venting

Never had any problem with my eFests. When I first started vaping a year or so ago I was guided by many experienced vapers that they were the go-to battery.

I honestly championed them for a good while. They were a decent battery and a very good price but they've been caught trying to cut corners; safety is one thing you cannot cut corners with.

the question is still unanswered - is it efest or a clone? as they are probably second in the list of most cloned bats after Sony VTCs...

well it says "Adam explained that Kirby had put the battery into his Tugboat"
if the batteries were in the wrong way round I'm assuming venting will commence

From what I gather her battery wasn't working so she put it in his tugboat (kinky), a dual 18650 unregulated mod.. Battery vented and you know the rest.

She must have took one of the two batteries out to put hers in, causing an imbalance in the voltage and possibly straining one battery. This is of course just a guess. She says button so I think it was the dual 18650 unregulated box, not the single mech, but again I could be wrong. Not something to be playing with :O

He added: “I want to know the reason behind what happened. - I think if you're using unregulated gear you should at least understand that was a venting battery...

we won’t let them in the house again

Ecigs are not your pervy uncle who only comes round at Christmas...
