Most recently, a terrible case happened in America - the 18650 battery exploded, which caused serious injury to the owner. Accordingly, many "steambags" on our territory began to think about how to protect themselves from the explosion? In fact, there are no universal protection methods now, but there are advice that will help avoid a possible problem.
How to protect yourself from the 18650 battery explosion
What is important to know
As we have noted, the first case with the explosion was in America. But you must clearly understand that only 18650 original batteries with quality guarantees are presented in their market. And we have no guarantees, and the Chinese filled the market almost 90%. Therefore, this article should be relevant for our population, which uses electronic cigarettes as an alternative to smoking.Pay attention! The main cause of the explosion is overheating. If you feel that the device or battery overheated, it is better not to use it. After all, after heating, the risk of an explosion increases almost 80%. And here we note that even the original device without mechanical damage can explode.
What can lead to an explosion
There is a whole list of reasons that can provoke an explosion of 18650, but we decided not to remember everything. We highlight only the current problems that can lead to this:
- The use of cheap Chinese batteries.
- Use of tanks when it is not clear at all who their manufacturer.
- Battery operation if its body is damaged.
- Incorrect charging.
- Long work at high capacities. For example, if you parity for 20 minutes - it can lead to an explosion. Since the batteries are strongly overheated.
- Warning at high facilities. As a rule, steambugs are hired at 30-35 W. But, there are those for whom 100 W - little. Such a category always risks, because the battery 18650 almost always works on its possible limits.
- Not matching the characteristics of the tank and electronic cigarette. Before purchasing, you must clearly understand that the characteristics must be permissible. If not, you should never save on the purchases of the container.
- Use non-original charger. For example, the original chargers always control the charge level and stop the charging process in case of completion. But cheap Chinese charging all this is not done.
Remember! The most popular winding by 0.3 ohms is already a closure. That is, they risk absolutely all the fibers who prefer such a winding. Of course, we recommend winding 0.5 ohms and more, but does someone listen to this advice?
How to prevent
We highlight several recommendations that will help avoid an explosion:
- Check the integrity of the container before starting work;
- Charge only original charger;
- do not parry at high facilities;
- Try from time to time to change batteries;
- If the battery began to heat up, its work should be immediately stopped.

We are not sure that these tips can help in reality. After all, much solves the quality of the battery, so never save your means.

Remember! If the electronic cigarette was heated - stop using it. After all, almost always the containers explode precisely for this reason.
