    Buy from a reputable source.
    Know the operating limits of your battery.
    Stay safe.

    Before I became a menber here I had some ultra fire batteries and problems with a VV mod. After asking Micky for advice, I had to ditch my ultra fire batteries, before something like this happened. Micky told me they where unfit for vaping gear, and I followed his advice.

    Thanks Judas...that's scary stuff!

    Since that battery is inches from my face, I would never try to save money by buying cheap batteries or a cheap charger!

    I'm new to using unregulated devices but consider myself fairly sensible and did my research before using. During that research I obviously came across people mentioning the risk of a battery going "bang". I was not aware though, until watching this video, just how big the "bang" was.

    Even the trusted Sony , Aw or mnke will do the same if purposely shorted out .Has nothing to do with the brand they will all explode if treated in this way .
