Another one! When will people freaking learn?

He could have been sitting on the John, face a foot from the sink corner… just saying. He does say it blew up in his mouth. He was getting ready to go to work, I’m assuming he was “taking care of business” before heading out.

Rude awakening, no doubt!

Edit: The mouth piece plastic, threads strip and the metal end holding the cell fires off like a rocket? Breaking the sink, bouncing up towards the corner where the flamed path shows it’s travel? Logic many times fails to explain truth.

Smoking is getting ridiculously expensive and is said to be more harmful to health than vaping.

Well, when you vape a nicotine containing substance, itś addictive just like smoking tobacco.

Yeah, that’s some strong coffee, isn’t it?
Maybe the bottom with the switch shot out and cracked the sink there.
Remember that on the other end it blew out 7 of his teeth…
That’s some force there…

I’m glad I don’t smoke

Exploding vaper just says he bought a cheap copy with fake vent holes and an airtight battery compartment

In addition with people overdischarge their cells regularely vaping with an almost depleeted cell dropping under load below 2V, the cell gets damaged over time

My dad had a fully drained lead battery in his car below front seat, he wanted to charge it at –5dC
I am glad he told me I took the battery in the house and it was partially frozen
Charging a frozen lead battery is a guranteed way to get a really big mess

Expecting people to learn is like expecting car accidents to stop happening.
Get used to it…

No one will ban cars, governments will ban lithium ion batteries

In the video there’s a puff of dark smoke followed by a bright flash.
Looks like afuel-air explosion

“gas is explosive, let’s ban it” said nobody ever.

Perhaps a safer chemistry will make things better for vapers.

Well, I think they already knew the dangers of using regular tobacco. I still consider vaping might be safer even with occasional explosion :smiley:

The li ion restrictions already in place from airplanes and shipping are not just for show

Yes, and fyi you’re also not allowed to take gas, fireworks, knives, explosives, guns, and a few other things on planes.
Just because it’s dangerous and restricted does not mean it will be banned.

Well, who knows what mech mod did he used…we digital smokers do some wierd stuuf in order to make our smoking better :slight_smile:

Personaly, i do own 4 different devices ( and like 10+ atomizers) and i always try myself not to push the battery tha hard, since i am an MLT i use them at 5-6 amps tops, using Sanyo GA 24/7
However, when i use a battery for a month or two, actualy when the bottom gets scatched from the charger i simply throw that battery away, safety first, its 4 euros
Even so nothing is guaranteed, i still could explode

yet, i would never ever go back to the casual smoking

No recycling where you live?

Well i usualy collect and throw them in the nearby shop`s battery recycling bin, prolly you have simmilar in US too in the stores

obviously, however no one can be sure some moronic government bureaucrat won’t do something stupid.

Like banning powerful vacuum cleaners? Or maybe cucumbers that aint 100% perfect? Welcome to the EU m8 ! :slight_smile:

Do you know that we are about to ban mixed swimming pools too? Indeed we are about too… and now me and my sons have to go there alone, while the wifey will visit it the other day when only women are allowed…in order not to heard someones feeling you know….

Yet you do not foresee governments caring about exploding batteries…

Ban everything.

Ban bottles because people stick em in their *hole.

Just put a sticker on the e-cigs “danger may harm your health”.
And dont allow import of E-cigs that have not met standards for safety like proper vent holes and overdischarge protection.

A proper lithium cell will vent not explode, a proper e-cig has vent holes so it cant explode,
it may vent gases and you got enough time to throw it away before they ignite themselves burning you.

I vape and I can say there has to be a lot we aren’t getting in the coverage. As has been stated, proper lithium polymer batteries will not explode. They vent out hot gases. If you look at any good mod, whether it be a mechanical or regulated there are vent holes for escaping gas. If you get a combination of someone who doesn’t understand battery safety and they don’t understand why you don’t make coils with .05 ohms of resistance you get issues like this. Unfortunately if you go into a vaping shop they are all too willing to sell you a mechanical mod and their very best ultrafire (name any other brand of cheap Chinese battery) batteries. They have no idea what they are doing and this is the result of that very attitude. The world is full of idiots and they are all to willing to show you how disastrously dumb they can be.

and that’s how a fuel-air explosive works —- vaporize the flammable material and mix it with air.
