Hey guys me and a couple of fellas at work took a spin with the bikes to VapeKing for some supplies, got the stuff had a pleasant vape and headed back. Our one mate put his mech and dripper into his Ego pouch and into the TopBox of his bike.
We figured the vibration must have either adjusted the locking ring or the switch itself to contact in the pouch. The reached a shop in Vaalpark got some supplies there, upon return to the bike they smelled a plastic sort burned sent. He opended the top box and found that his pouch was extremely hot. When he opened it he could barely touch his mech but it was soundless and after cooling he opened the dripper top to find the wicking had completely burned out and the dripper was completely black burnt.
Well he gave it to me to investigate and told me that it couldn't fire anymore and was broken (he got it yesterday) new vapor. I found that the dripper pos. insulater had melted from the heat of firing at 0.3ohm continuously for god knows how long and the mech insulator slightly aswell.
He told me that he noticed when he could touch the mech to remove the battery, that the battery was a lot cooler than the mod itself, and was in brand new visual condition which showed no signs of venting.
I tested it, with a bit more caution than normally, and found that it still took charge and is actually still charging. I would do a lot more testing before ever trusting this specific one again, but it does tell me something about Efest 20A 18650's, if this one fired continuously long enough to melt a dripper insulator and mech insulator and basically short out to stop (coils were still in tact 26g kanthal) and still be functional afterwards, it is indeed a very strong and reliable battery and should not ever give problems in normal un abusive circumstances. You might still get a factory flaw like in anything you buy on planet earth, but def my key choice for now.
Happy vaping folks.
