Legs,
The Radio Control folks have been using Lion(s) and LiPo(s) for a very long time and occasionally they screw up also. The Air-Line companies and the USPS have some concern over large quantities of Lion and LiPo batteries be in there system. But they would also get upset if you wanted to ship large quantities of Black Powder, Lighter Fluid, or Finger Nail Polish. No big surprise there!
Your continued harping on the subject does no one any good. You keep using the reference to the pictures of a melted battery holder in a "
Reuleaux by Jaybo Designs DNA 200 Triple 18650 Mod" that for one thing uses a battery sled that has a know problem of ripping the plastic covers on the batteries. The units come with a warning about NOT using batteries with a damaged plastic cover.
Now no one knows what happened and to keep using it as an example of things "The Media" will use as examples of the hazards of vaping is self defeating. There are enough threats coming from the FDA (which has nothing to do with batteries).
Why don't you just leave the subject alone unless you find out EXACTLY what happened with that DNA 200 Reuleaux. As far as as the guy with the (and until you prove me wrong) Pipe Bomb Mech and/or the Celebrity that you say wound up in Critical Care. I am not going to buy in on that either.
If you go back far enough to the older chemistry Lion(s) and LiPo(s) yes they had some problems. The newer chemistry batteries have eliminated most of the problems from the past.
Question for you Legs, How long ago was the "Mech" failure that put the person in the Critical Care Unit? What were his injuries? Was it home made? Was it properly vented? Was it the older style chemistry batteries, Was it a build mistake... ad infinitum.
It is your right to post about any undocumented claims you like but why don't you give the Pot Stirring a rest.
PS - Anyone that has shipped a package locally vs across the country already knows that it typically takes longer for in-State (or a relatively close shipper) shipments to reach their destination. I think they call that the difference between multihop truck delivery and one air plane from New Your to Spokane WA.
