    Need a little one time mixing help

    Hi guys, I just received two 1oz (30ml) bottles of 24mg flavored e-juice. I ordered my usual 80/20% PG/VG mix, but they made a mistake and sent it all PG. They were incredibly cool about it, and are sending replacements out right away, and don't even care to get the 'mistake' bottles back. So...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Agree on all counts. And I think that's what is bugging me the most. The way this whole thing seems to have been swept under the rug...at least for now. Just amazing to me. Consumers have a right to know what happened here, and what possible steps are being taken to prevent it from happening...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Sadly, after an amazing 569 posts, and over 76,000 views, I'm not entirely sure I've seen a "right answer" yet. For me, the right answer (and the one I've wanted since this thread started), is precisely what type of equipment he was using, and how he was using it, when the 'explosion' occured.

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    I think I'll open up my own business in my basement...Why not? Everyone else is doing it. And I'll be selling strictly mods. Don't know a whole lot about it, and I certainly won't know how 'safe' the stuff will be, but who cares? It's up to the consumers to educate themselves, ya know...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Rocketman brings up a good point. Not everyone hangs out in a forum like this, nor are they anywhere near as knowledgeable as most here are about the purchase and use of PV's. That's why I really feel a lot more information needs to be released to the public, mostly for the sake of new users...

    I'm vaping right now like a wildman, just reading this thread. (I'm also closing my eyes, and taking really quick hits). :blink:

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Oh, I'm sure your right...I could Google and find out about all kind of accidents and subsequent recalls. But all kidding aside, I had a post a while ago about why this causes me some concern. That's the fact that there is no specific information about this 'exploding' e-cig batt at all. And...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    I do use scissors to open up my new Carto packages. Thanks for the advice folks. Don't have a hybrid car, but I've already taped a laptop to myself, have my cell and my PV ready to go, and a pair of scissors with me. I'm about to run up the street in my neighborhood. If I don't post again...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    I think I'll start keeping my cell phone on my ear all day whether I'm using it or not, while constantly vaping. Hey, if I'm going to do this thing, I'm going all the way and doing it right. :D

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Do you have a link to a story like this? I'm not doubting you in any way, but I don't recall in recent history a cell phone blowing someones ear off. But for me, that's beside the point anyway. As far as I'm concerned, one accident like this is one too many. And at the very least, I think we...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Yes, the whole lawsuit thing crossed my mind as well. And with all the talk about Mods, wouldn't it be something if it was a widely popular eGo or 510? (Or something similar). Talk about the ..... hitting the fan! Yeah, if it's some sort of 'unsafe' homemade mod, well, I guess you take your...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    As a few have already mentioned, after well over 400 posts in this thread (and almost 43,000 views!), not a singe one of us seems to know what type of device he was using. Only speculation that it was some type of Mod, and that's all it is...speculation. I'm sure there are hundreds (more...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Ok, I understand where you're coming from. So, may I ask what your solution would be? Because it sure as hell ain't working the way it is now. Many would disagree with me, but there is no doubt in my mind that something more needs to be done as far as "quality control", for lack of a better term.

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Right on there my friend, right on. I've often commented about this myself. We all sit around here and pat each other on the back about how great it is that we've quit analogs. "Congrats!" "Nice going!" Yet this industry is relatively new, and pretty much unregulated. Some of these vendors...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    Oh, and I apologize if I missed it somewhere, but it seems many are still assuming this man was using some sort of Mod, and as far as I know, we aren't even certain of that. Suppose it was just a "plain ol' Joye 650mAh eGo-t" with a boge carto? (Even the 'veterans go back to the basics now and...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    From DaveP's post above: "A one-in-200,000 failure rate triggered a recall of almost six million lithium-ion packs used in laptops manufactured by Dell and Apple". Very interesting find. I actually remember that 'famous' photo of a Dell laptop where the battery exploded, leaving the...

    Local NW Floridian with severe injuries from exploding ecig battery

    I hear you. Now, lets see a show of hands from people who think about this incident, every time they lift their e-cig up and put it in their mouth now. Yep...that's what I thought. Almost all of you. (Ok, you can put your hands down now). :) It's amazing what the media (and especially the...

    Smoke vs Vapor: Nicotine Effects

    lol...yeah, I've never 1/2 stepped anything either. Whether it's bad for me or not, I dive in all the way, head first, and hope I can come up for air eventually. I used to pride myself on telling people: "Moderation sucks". :D But now, at my age, it's not quite as funny anymore. I was born in...

    Smoke vs Vapor: Nicotine Effects

    I appreciate the positive and reinforcing comments from some of you, concerning my earlier rather negative post. Guess I've just been feeling down in the dumps, and a little depressed looking back on my life and realizing I've been addicted to one thing or another for so long. (Don't worry...

    Wow! Trinidad! I guess you're very fortunate to have a supplier at all. Especially one who sounds like he's more than fair with his customers. Good luck to you. ;)
