    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Just throwing this out there for vendors looking into the possibility of getting things certified -- as an alternative to UL, there's also ETL (aka Intertek). I'm not affiliated with them in any, BTW, I just know a bit about symbols ;-) Electrical & Electronic Getting stuff tested/listed can...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    The reasons my Surefire is in a drawer and I have a Fenix that takes AA's instead . . . That, and the AA's are cheaper, even if I get Panasonic Industrials.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    It also has a higher likelihood of someone doing something with your product you never intended, injuring themselves and/or setting their house on fire, then suing you afterwards.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Eventually all PV's will come with annoying gooey stickers like lighters.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Yeah, I didn't notice until after I posted that the little square at the end of the article was a link to the actual lawsuit. I think the lawyer is doing the shotgun-lawsuit (sue everyone involved, hope someone settles out of court) approach.

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    Was it a port on his computer or one of those "AC-USB" adapters? Those can crank out more current than a computer port and aren't as well protected. Combine that with a passthrough instead of a charger ....

    2.1mm plug on PSU

    I learned about the differences in ID's the other way round -- "Why won't this plug in?" :D

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    I haven't shopped in TehShack in a long time, but I'm going to assume they've covered themselves with the standard legal boilerplate for batteries that limit their liability to the cost of replacement of the device they were used in. The only way they might be be held liable for more is if the...

    Colorado man sues after explosion

    He's suing the wrong people if he's going after the PV maker. Radio Shack/Enercell are the ones that provided the unprotected battery.

    2.1mm plug on PSU

    Yeah. The OD is probably 5.5mm

    2.1mm plug on PSU

    Yeah, wall-wart plugs come in a variety of sizes. And even if they have the same OD, they may have a different ID.

    Batteries

    Although it was answered above with pictures, I'll spell it out: No. You could keep them all to a single *thread* however. Call it "Punchy's eBay Knockoff Battery Thread" or something.

    How do you store your e cig paraphernalia?

    Just occurred to me that 10ml bottles are about the same diameter as a 12G shell. Next trip to the outdoor store I think some shell cases and a tackle box are in order.

    Wots all this then?

    And since I'm doing short reviews, I'm also trying "Gecko" (with WTA) from Aroma Ejuice: It's buttery and nutty, the closest thing I can think of is Waffle House pecan waffles before they have syrup on. The WTA does seem to provide that extra "missing" factor that just nicotine wasn't giving...

    Wots all this then?

    Well, the menthol cough drop is light enough that it can be mixed with something else -- it actually goes nicely with the Earl Grey (figured this by accident by mixing up my cartomizers), so I might order an Earl Grey doubler and mix it in. Other flavors: Clove is tasty but harsh. Reminds...

    Batteries

    I'd be careful, there have been "fake" ultrafires making the rounds. Here's a random pic, note the dimple in the covering around the negative end where the protection is: See if you can feel an edge at the bottom end with a fingernail, although I'm not sure of a way to tell for sure without...

    How do you carry your device-- Post pics of it.

    As far as personal carry: An extra battery, three cartomizers, and a 6ml bottle fit in a tall prescription bottle. PV goes in a cheap lanyard case.

    Bad batch of Smoktech LR 1.7 ohm and XL LR 1.7 ohm going around...

    1.5 DDC XL here. So far out of two boxes (from two different vendors) I've had one shorted internally and one so full of filler it has an extremely hard draw. They also seem to not last very long before tasting funky (not burnt, more like a wet-towel aftertaste). Next time I'll be...
