Just a question about battery wraps.

[Giraffa]

hey guys! First I just wanted to say how great it feels to be part of this forum. Always full of great useful information that helped me through my journey to quit smoking.

Now, on to the question. My battery is basically peeling and I wanted to do the wrap myself. I have PLENTY of wire heat shrink wrap instead of the pvc heat shrink and was wondering if it was possible to use that maybe? Might be a dumb question, but hey, doesn't hurt to ask

Idk if that would be a good idea or not. But definitely discontinue use of that battery until you get a wrap on it!

I'm thinking the heat shrink may be to thick.

I'm not certain, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to clear it up, I just wanted to say I buy my wraps from IMR, 1.00 for a pack of ten if you want to pick some up.

Also, I have noticed all the employees in my local vape shops have some on hand all the time...if they don't sell them.

Wraps - IMRbatteries.com

I would say I'd stop using that battery until it's re-wrapped.

Hi @Giraffa and welcome to the forum. The main issue I can see is the thickness of the wrap. Not all mods or chargers can fit much more than a simple wrapped battery. Personally I wouldn't try it. You can order wraps from www.Fasttech.com, 50 for $2. www.liionwholesale.com (pennsylvania) also sells them cheap.

Hello and welcome to ECF!

It should work fine. It might be a bit thicker than the original wrap. If your battery is a tight fit it could cause a problem.

I have tried it several times. I haven't ever found a piece of wire heat shrink thin enough to allow the rewrapped battery to go into a mod. They make battery wraps, though. Fat Daddy Vapes sells them in different colors and I wrap them in colors to mark the married pairs. This photo is of the married triples for my RX200s:

I use heat shrink tubing to re wrap my batteries and it works well in my nemesis. won't hurt to try it and see if it will fit you mod

 

[Giraffa]

Thank you guys so much for the replies/pictures/links to help me out! Maybe I'll try one battery, and if it doesn't fit, I'll just go ahead and grab some from the sites you guys sent me. Thanks again everyone!
