It's aggravating as you know there's something missing from this story. But at least they cover "if the batteries are not well protected"
Just another way to make people think e cigs are the devil Bobby!

Guarantee it was firing In his pocket. Another vapers stupidity adding to the hate

Yeah, saw it on local news. Man Burned in Grand Central E-Cig Explosion: MTA

Pretty solid surveillance video in the store. And he already has a top notch lawyer representing him. Might be tough to collect on a Chinese clone or rewrapped battery should it turn out to be that. My bet, once again, mech, loose change, fire button held in. Only other item of note was one frame of the debris:

Looks like more than one battery and it's tough to tell what it was in.

Wonder what type of mod that is. I screen grabbed in pchop and sharpened:

 

[Cheallaigh]

is it just me, or from that pic i see a single battery mod with two browns?

 

[mongo74]

Oh, that looks like a Reuleaux. Note shape of battery compartment.

Does the RX200 have that magnet layout? The 3/2 does not.

 

[Cheallaigh]

lol we posted at the same time... now that i see the close up, yeah i think you're right.. and i see lots of change to get in there too...

 

[McAnythingReally]

I was just about to say that looks like an RX200 to me, the shape of the mod, plus you can see 1 wrapped battery and what looks like 2 unwrapped batteries. Im really curious if he had unwrapped batteries in there, or if they were destroyed when the mod went up.

Another fake! Really embarassing. These sparks...incredible! Look like magnesium or sth. A Li-Ion could not make them...

Next coming tomorrow...

It feels like war.

 

[Cheallaigh]

Another fake!

what do you mean by that?

 

[mongo74]

And did he have a flask in there as well? Sheesh.

 

[Cheallaigh]

it almost looks like a 160w...

 

[mongo74]

My guess, the batteries closest together went up, and the compartment blew off. Maybe that's what saved the one wrap from being melted off. He probably had it on and it fired in his pocket, especially if he had that flask looking thing in there as well.

 

[Cheallaigh]

i feel bad for the guy, but 99% of the time it's user error in these cases.

 

[LimJaheyyy]

Looks like a rx200 or the snowolf 218. Something triple battery. Glad my mod has a fire button lock.

 

[Cheallaigh]

all of mine have a 10s cutoff

 

[LimJaheyyy]

I never go to work with it in my pocket either. That's mistake #1. I also work in a wine & spirits hahaha.

 

[Cheallaigh]

if one of mine is about to be pocketed.. i press that button 5 times... a few seconds is all it takes for safety.

 

[mongo74]

I see a fourth battery...like that one with the wrap on it was a spare in his pocket...ANALYSIS INCOMING.

Yes, I'm bored. LOL

 

[LimJaheyyy]

Oh yeah I see 4 now too. At LEAST one loose battery, plenty of loose change, and a bunch of other crap all jammed in his pocket. Nice.
