Did you see him digging around in that pocket before it vented.
Wonder if he compressed the button?

Makes me wonder if it was a spare/loose cell and it was alongside some of the loose change he dug out of that pocket...

were any of the news reporters sharp enough to contact Mr Josh Hamilton for comment? Does anyone
know anymore details, such as Battery type, and if coins were in the pocket also? (recipe for danger, noobs!)
Cheers.

or a pocket full of coins, and assorted metallic objects.
Even the little cylinder pplastic carriers are easy enough to find and buy, if you dont want the square boxes for 2 batts.

link above has wraps, cylinder and box cases....less than a buck USD!
Really annoys me that they NEVER mention what kind of defective device it was. You see the same thing every time some dufus drops a pistol and kills his kid. I wanna know which pistols fire when dropped and which e-cigs explode in your pocket.
I keep asking, but nobody will explain to me WHY they never report it.

If you listen to the report, it does say his spare battery. Probably not kept in any kind of battery container. 
Moved to General vaping from General E-Liquid discussion
So, on another site I met a friend of the guy that happened to. As it turns out, it wasn't an Ecig battery at all. It was a remote battery that was in his pocket loose with some change. Not even an 18650.

From watching the video after the battery started venting it looks like he throws a loose 18650 along with another loose venting 18650 out of his pocket.
It could be worst. Batteries are bad things, bad, bad, bad. So`s electricity, but that`s another story.
Wish People would Stop Calling them E-cig Batteries.
They are simply 18650 Batteries. What they were purchased for has nothing to do with them Shorting, loose in a Pocket. <FACT>

No
No
Call them e-cig batteries PLEASE!!!
That way after e-cigs are banned or taxed out of existence I can still buy "flashlight" batteries at regular retail prices.
We don't want to educate them enough that they can ACTUALLY ban our activities.

Am I the only one that is happy that they specifically recommend you use a carrier in lieu of carrying it loose?
I like the quick thinking of going outside, by the gasoline, when your pocket is exploding rather than just dropping his pants indoors.
Already a closed thread on this one. Yes, a loose battery in his pocket with other metals, wearing rayon sweat pants. Of course he is holding his PV in the picture which had nothing to do with his "hot pants".
Could be wrong but, think this one is an entirely different incident involving the same Darwinism....Already a closed thread on this one.
