What mod is this that exploded?

[Hootis]

I know the video says it's an "Av Able" but does anyone know the details?

I cannot embed here for some reason; please go to liveleak.com and search for "Av Able vape explodes" and you'll see the video. Thanks.

That was scary! Link to the mod in the comments. Able Style Brass Mod

Too many factors not shown, plus you can see where it wasn't working and he was fiddling with it before it popped.

I'd bet my next paycheck it was totally user error

Able - AV may be Avid Life - the authentic, but there's a million clones, and I'm pretty certain they're all Hybrid connections...
That's a risky setup - click/boom, he got a hard short, as can happen if the 510 pin isn't right in a hybrid.

I'm assuming almost the same thing happened here as what happened to the kid who used a sub on a hybrid and sent his tank into the ceiling.

Which goes along with what @Train2 said

If I had to guess it's one of two things.

• Didn't have an extended pin
• Adjustable pin that backed back in when he attached the device

Assuredly. I have an Able, and with the right battery, the right atomizer, and the right build, they are nearly as safe as any mod on the market.

Ergo, he was using a bad atty or a bad battery, or a bad build.

More likely, a combination of these things...

Yep.

The Abel is a direct to battery device.
For advanced users only.

I have two. Clones.
Its an awesome device when used properly, but like a chainsaw it can be dangerous when used incorrectly.

I completely agree with everyone that stated user error, barring the possibility that he had an inferior re-wrap cell.

Does beg the question of what kind of topper was on it.

Having to adjust the switch to get more throw might suggest the pin got pushed up. Could`ve been a "sign" to him to have a look.

I'm actually hoping this vid doesn't get any traction. Last thing we need is more explosions on the news.

just curious as to what batts will blow like that? i thought most of the new safer chemestry 18650s just vented?

There is no way an IMR chemistry batt can blow with that much force. Even if confined inside the tube how does it break that huge ceramic basin and then fly all the way towards the wall?? Check YouTube for videos of battery venting, nothing like that.

I'm thinking he got beat up by someone half his size and this was a good excuse for the missing teeth and he took a hammer and a torch [emoji23]

Not that this has anything to do with the case you're talking about, but a venting battery can fly like a rocket. I would be skeptical too but I've seen the evidence with my own two eyes. It happened to an acquaintance of mine.

But can't do that much damage.

I won't pretend to know that.

I'm not saying it's not going to cause any damage at all. In this case, the damage is just like a Scene from tom and Jerry. That too from a single 18650. Anyway, someday I might find that out being reckless with builds [emoji23]

If you're using a single-battery mech that's stupid low. An accident waiting to happen. And while "safe chemistry" batteries don't usually blow up, they can. And in any case, if the battery gets trapped in the tube from it swelling and the venting gasses don't have a way to escape (as most mechs have their vent holes wrongly placed at the bottom) the top cap/atty will shoot out like a projectile (pretty much as any firearms function).

Yes that can happen, but I just don't see a single cell causing all that damage in that post which has gone viral all over the place.
