    Colorado man sues after explosion

    All of these standards should make the Obama administration happy. ISO compliance, ASTM, ASQC, UL, SAE, SME, initially providing voluntary recommendations and guidance are now used by the Washington political machine to just drive up costs. No manufacturer, or small business reseller will...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    not being upfront to protect yourself from libel is understandable. But sugar coating a statement like 'the mod didn't blow up, it was the batteries' is just plain sillyness. Is there any mod, or even raw pipe from HomeDepot that will blow up on it's own? Did the mod blow or not? Then...

    Wizard Labs Nic Base Reviews

    wolcen, the extraction, purifying, cleaning process determines how the refined nicotine looks before oxidation. Although chemicals can be added after the fact (saw a statement once about balance between nic clarity and health risk when adding chemicals) it seems possibly that solvents used in...

    no, that would cause one cell to charge the other cell backwards :)

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    The stacked battery thing just confuses so many folks. I bet some aren't really sure if you are to put both in the same direction, or how twice the voltage comes out of the top cell :) Or, I've even heard it's bad because the current from both batteries goes through the top cell, so if your...

    Your hubby simplified the explanation. Not friction, more like trying to stick a hair pin in a wall socket . Think short, think hot, think lucky.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    buzz, I know, and I also know you are sincerely interested in safety. It just gets me how many members of this shark tank come out to support someone that is probably still breathing hard after a scary event. Good thing the poor little old lady that had (maybe) an NJOY e-cig pop it's cork...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    If something like that happened to me I would keep quite about details, drop a teaser, maybe a low resolution pics or two, take a bunch of hi-res pictures, and sell them to the highest bidder. If a failure caused significant damage or injury, it's third party failure analysis time. That's...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Yup, first response is "it didn't happen" I'm waiting for the "you can't fix stupid" comments now. Ever wonder why we don't seem to getting a lot of info from Colorado, Florida, and now from Oklahoma?

    Exploding Njoy

    If this really happened, Walmarts will defer to NJOY who will offer a free replacement, but only if she sends the bad one back. Anyone up to calling them and see what they will offer if you claim you had one blow up? At least you can trust them to perform an impartial failure analysis when...

    Exploding Njoy

    Why is it the first response you get from vapers is "this is BS"? The details are probably exaggerated but I'm sure this type of event would shock most anyone. The charge on the little mini was maybe at 95%. If it's the disposable "OneJoy" it's activated by removing all the packaging. Sort...

    RTS Vapes: Lowest Prices on Quality Flavorless Nicotine Liquid Made in the USA

    Maybe you ought to check with Randy (I always recommend checking with your vendor) if 25 drops of 100mg/ml nic juice into a 6ml solution gives you an 8mg/ml result. Anyone else come up a little different? He offers some inexpensive lab glasswear.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    This thread started because of the law suit and the user not using the proper batteries. The model he used was originally marketed to use stacked 3.2 volt cells. There are other mods, mechanical and electrical, without regulation, marketed (sometimes tongue in cheek) to use stacked 3.2 volt...

    what protected Li-ion cells would you guys stack in a Protegy? or Safe chemistry IMR cells? 7.4 volts is a little hot isn't it?

    The density of liquids and possible volume contration

    Thanks for the reply, and for helping the e-juice vendor community. I for one see educated vendors as a good thing. Strange how new applications of chemistry (like e-juice mixtures) still uncover strange properties. At least strange at the rookie level. Thanks again

    The density of liquids and possible volume contration

    Your final strength tests showed expected results based on the reported density of the source nic? or from your specific gravity determinations? The average DIY mixologist would not be able to do either. And once diluted by a vendor would be somewhat futile to try. I think I take a little...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Of the factors that could cause a failure like this the human is the only one that can be ....-ized statistically. Mod, APVs, are evolving. Multiple sources, revisions from a single sources, aging and damage allow too many variables to determine reliability figures. Batteries are in the...

    The density of liquids and possible volume contration

    could that have been a typo? (1.02?) plus a 1% analytical error? and it really was 1009 mg/ml?
