I went in ECF and asked a simple question:
will cheap trustfire batts work in my vamo?
People jumped all down my throat!!!
From "you're going to blow your face off/burn your house down" to "You MUST use these batts that are $15.00 each" to "they absolutely will NOT work in a vamo" etc.. etc..
Everything they said was untrue.
It was just a vamo with a protank!!!
I will say I was told (by members here) I was going to blow myself up when asking a question about my current batteries (Ultrafire 26650s x4) with my setup (mech mod). I was wrong about some of my stated facts (such as the current ohm reading) but was surprised about the information, as I have never had one heat up(overly, all batteries get hot with use), let alone blow up. Guess it only takes once. The batteries do state they are protected, but now Im confused as to if they are ok or not, some info provided to me was that they were ok, others that they were dangerous and I should discontinue use. And, being as I am new to this forum, I am worried about being labeled a dumb newb or worse, for inquiring further.
EDIT:I still consider myself a newb, only having vaped for a year, and been building mods for 6 mo. I'm just trying to become safer and smarter, and learn as much as I can, as I am working part time at a local vape store.
