I've seen other videos of people driving nails into 18650s and "spicy pillow" square cells, and most of them didn't even let off a puff of smoke. What the vaping community was doing 10-15 years ago to launch batteries into the ceiling is beyond me.


The vaping community was basically shorting the cells. I'm not sure how a modern 18650 or prismatic cell would handle that.
