I'm not buying that at all...
First of all, there's a wide range of DHVs sold with removable 18650s that are made by Western manufacturers
Arizer, tinymight, davinci, potv, etc.
Hell, even Chinese manufacturers like xlux/xmax have a separately registered company in the USA, and all of their products have replaceable batteries.
Secondly, nic vape box mods draw at least 2-3 times more amps and are still sold with removable batteries.
That standard covers batteries, not the devices that use them...
Also it doesn't even cover the 18650s themselves since they usually have <5g of lithium in them.
It's literally just a loophole for the manufacturers: if the users can't replace batteries, you don't need to do safety testing for that scenario
Ah. I forgot why I never comment around here. Thanks for reminding me.
I like what they are saying. It's cool to know shit. But the way they are saying it makes ya feel like you couldn't have an opinion.
