Did you by chance purchase those on Ebay from "hopmeup"? If so, I'm guessing you were one of many who ended up buying old cells. There was a thread on this a year or so back. I bought six packs from them, and ended up with 4 after I rebuilt them and pulled out the bad cells.

Back to the topic at hand - Freeze ya need a break from this. Still not an excuse to use language like that.
I for one have a hard time thinking that both packs puffing at the same time is due to bad cells. If it is, you definitley got some bad mojo going.
