My Semilar (from Kai) was screwing on and off with difficulty. I assumed grit had got in the threads from carrying it in my pocket. I unscrewed the cap to check the o-ring and threads for grit. I was looking at it rather closely and wondered what type of grease was on the o-ring. I used a q-tip to clean the threads and o-ring and noticed a somewhat strange smell. I assumed it was the lubricant and SNIFFED the threads/o-ring. The smell was very odd and after taking the 3.6V LIR out (https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/ProductDetail.aspx?TranID=722) I noticed it's purple plastic covering was discolored. It apparently suffered some type of failure and the smell I was inhaling was odor de Lithium.
Oh Great!
I suffered no panic attacks and didn't have to go to the hospital, but did want to tip everyone off to this occurence. I have no idea why it happened...
