Saw this in my facebook feed just now. Didn't watch the video but no details in the article about which type of mod he was using - http://local12.com/news/nation-world/e-cigarette-explodes-in-teens-mouth-face-and-mouth-burned
my guess would be a mech 18650 and he didn't know squat about ohms lawWould have been nice to know what vaping gear he used. Probably a gas station e-cig.
Good guess considering women let those batteries loosely rattle around in their purses and wonder why it goes up in flames.. That is what forums like this are for.my guess would be a mech 18650 and he didn't know squat about ohms law
I live in the PDX AREA but not originally from here.Oregon has a problem with inbreeders.
yeah you gotta believe that the so called journalists are either A) lazy,stupid, cretins who didn't think to ask him what kind of rig he was vaping and what possible malfuntion occured, so that the public at large could avoid the dangers associated with the ignorance and abuse of vaping devices......or B) lazy,stupid and corrupt cretins who are the mouthpieces pushing a propoganda piece to demonize vaping......I'm going with B....“I thought my lips were gone. It was nuts. And apparently, I didn’t see it, but everyone else said part of the mod shot and like went through chairs and stuff.”
So probably not a gas station ecig but since none of the stories I read about it say anything else about it other than he'd only had it a week, it could have been pretty much anything.
This is Oregon so I guess ignorance was deliberate to spread fear. Make all vape gear seem dangerous.yeah you gotta believe that the so called journalists are either A) lazy,stupid, cretins who didn't think to ask him what kind of rig he was vaping and what possible malfuntion occured, so that the public at large could avoid the dangers associated with the ignorance and abuse of vaping devices......or B) lazy,stupid and corrupt cretins who are the mouthpieces pushing a propoganda piece to demonize vaping......I'm going with B....
Another case of stupidity !!!!
I'll say A in support of B.yeah you gotta believe that the so called journalists are either A) lazy,stupid, cretins who didn't think to ask him what kind of rig he was vaping and what possible malfuntion occured, so that the public at large could avoid the dangers associated with the ignorance and abuse of vaping devices......or B) lazy,stupid and corrupt cretins who are the mouthpieces pushing a propoganda piece to demonize vaping......I'm going with B....

Even that should be reasonably safe if someone gets 30A LG, Sony, or Samsung batteries and seeks help from places like:I'm going to go with the pipe bomb known as the "Hybrid Mech / Subohm Tank setup"
Not surprised that Chuck Schumer is leading the charge since Michael Bloomberg appears to be the principal economic patron of the movement. Bloomberg being to anti smoke/vape what Steyer is to environmentalism and Schumer being what Gore at least was to it.Most reporters are so stupid that they think that an "ecigarette" is a blu or mark ten that they see at a gas station and don't even know of the existence of the actual vaping gear we use.
Look at fuckwad Chuck Shumer and his new mission against the new trend "juuling" that 110% of all kids are doing which is using a juul pen.
The Pax Juul is so "new" that it came out in 2013
Shumer hasn't noticed it's 2017 now I guess.
He claims all parents are too stupid to know that a juul isn't a thumb drive and they are the cr*ck c*caine of ecigs.

Of course not many teenagers are wise enough to do that. I wouldn't be surprised if he bought his on eBay with a battery labeled 40A but Mooch tests at 10A.
You should repost those pics in the unregulated mod forum.The Atlantis subohm tank doesn't have a 510 pin that protrudes far enough to work with a mechanical mod with a hybrid top cap
There are quite a few other subohm tanks that won't work either.
They will fire a few times at first then eventually the battery will hit the positive and negative of the atomizer at the same time and BOOM!

I can see #3 happening to anyone but the others is just plain stupidity.If I could agree to banning anything in the vaping world it would be the hybrid top cap.
It is an unnecessary risk.
You may get a tad less voltage drop using a hybrid instead of a regular 510 connection but if someone is that concerned with the voltage drop they can just buy a regulated mod and set the volts / watts to wherever they want and it will produce steady power until the batteries die.
Every explosion is either one of four things:
1) Shitty ego battery plugged into a laptop
2) loose battery (or batteries) rolling around in pockets or purses with keys and or change.
3) hybrid top cap problem
4) batteries with damaged wraps / shitty Chinese batteries (usually have "fire" in the name) used by people who don't know any better
Nope any tank with a sliding 510 pin and or factory coils that can pinch the coil leads thru the silicone grommet or do not have protruding 510 pins can cause even a GOOD battery to vent causing the atomizer to violently shoot from the mod and spew 1,000 degree fire out.Even that should be reasonably safe if someone gets 30A LG, Sony, or Samsung batteries and seeks help from places like:
