EVOD Battery Recall

[sonicdsl]

Thread here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/444286-evod-battery-recall.html

Kanger's statement from their website here:

Electronic Cigarette,kanger,E-Cigarette,E-Cigs,quit smoking,Health Cigarette

(basically affects certain models purchased from Heaven's Gifts early on... see the Kanger statement for details)

TY Sonic for staying on top of this (or getting to the bottom of it )

 

[SnapperJR]

why kanger's e-cigarette so famous? seems like everyone knows it.

because generally they do make good ecig accessories and batts

im using their evod mt bcc clearos and i love the convenience it offers, only downside is the small wicks in the attys which tend to get gunked up pretty quick

Kanger seems like a reputable company with well made and designed products, voluntary recalls are good.

 

[AronDelight]

Yeah it's always nice to see a business take action.

I hope all companies that have a product with a problem follow after them. All we need is something to start a fire or blow up and give the government more to feed off.

3400 is the highest that I'm aware of and just about any vape store has them. You can even get them on amazon.com or eBay.

I saw on another site where a lady didn't turn her e-cig off before putting it in her purse and it caught on fire. I used to do the same thing before reading the article.

Egads! Any blow up verified? I have a Kanger battery in my mouth as I type..

It's just the Evod battery purchased from a particular vendor at a particular time. Please see the link above to the Kanger announcement.

[StuMan]

thanks. i see what you mean

Looks to me like a responsible manufacturer taking sensible action. Good to see

As for the purse fire:
EVOD batteries have 5 click protection. Most regulated eGo types do.
To activate this simply push the button 5 times in 2 seconds, the battery will not fire again until you repeat the 5 click process.
The button on an EVOD is set almost flush with the surface of the case which should make accidentally pushing a little bit harder than a regular eGo.

I have SIX of these, three 650's and three 1000's.
I know that ONE of them is OKAY, but I'm STILL waiting to hear about the other FIVE!
I'm glad I have my BACKUPS!

Glad I went with bigger battery first time

Its best to turn them off but you really shouldn't have that problem with an evod battery because the button sits flush. It could happen but much less likely than with a battery with a raised button.

Pretty cool if you think about it, they know the exact vendor the bad batteries went to...did not know they had serial/lot numbers.

TY Sonic for the information

 

[Morbus]

wow, scary
