I'm building two tube mods, (one for me, one for a friend), safety's a big deal to me, the bottom cap+mechanical switch I've built is made in plastic, has venting holes, and the switch itself has a lock in (but is made of metal bolts springs and nuts); the cap is losely fitted in (not screwed), so if pressure builds up past what the holes can vent, the cap should just come off, but:
1- Since the cap can come off sort of easily, but also has heavy metal in it, can it potentially shoot off and become a real danger?
2- If I place the battery with the + towards the bottom of the BB, and it goes on runaway, wont it blow out from the +, and make the PV shoot towards my friend's or my face (in footage of runaway batteries, the + shot out immense pressure and the battery became a shooting rocket that flied towards the - of the battery)?
The battery is a 18650 so it does carry a great deal of energy in it
