So recently my lady had bought a Brass ChiYou for the sole reason to trade me for one of my Nemes being Ive been hunting a brass chi for months. Anyway the other day being her first day with her new Neme (also being her 1st mechanical device) I stressed the importance of safety ie: most importantly locking the device when putting it down anywhere.
Later that night we took a trip to walmart after learning the "ultimate vapers carring case" is nothing more than a vaultz diabetics travel case...but thats another story on its own. While looking at the aweful graphic tshirts in Walmart I started feeling some heat coming from my side and a hissing sound. Turns out with all my preaching ive done during the day I forgot to lock my chi and put it in a flashlight pouch i sometimes wear on my belt. The mod had heated up so much the atomizer (a nimbus) melted right through the pouch. I was able to pull the device from the pouch suffering a bad burn on one of my fingers, Luckly I got it to the kitched department disassembled it with oven mitts on, and the AW IMR battery was still intact, I was able to clean all the felted pouch fabric from the device. When I got home later I realized the white cup on the inside of the cap was melted, after many attempts to remove it I went with the last resort anyone would do and had to take a wrench to it. I chewed up the top contact that touches the atty and the plastic cup was a wrap and done being it melted. Thankfully VapeRevs "flatcap" has those 2 parts on sale for 20$ (mojo really needs to start selling replacement parts...) I also received my engraved 19500 tube and AIOS yesterday and now must wait an extra # days until I can use it, I also had to order a new nimbus, although the rba works and fires it wont read subohms on the meter, that I dont understand but oh well. Lesson Learned, Human error is always a factor that should be taken into consideration when practicing safety precautions, I always double check and make sure my device is locked before putting it down.
Just wanted to share and see if any similar experiences happened to anyone else.
One Love and SAFE vaping!
