I won't lie, I switched to an RDA on friday, my kayfun has been in a drawer since. I personally like blowing bigger clouds, however I usually have no one else to see, so usually I could care less about showing off, although if a friend asks I'm more than happy to show them or even let them try it out, but the cloud factor is totally for my own personal choice, I find it fun and the flavor has been amazing since the switch. I'm using a plume veil, and it's amazing, I'm sub-ohming and saving more juice than when I was using my kayfun, it's quite literally ridiculous.
Another mod explodes

I think a big problem here is that the news doesn't know anything about vaping. They are reporting on something they know nothing about.. And their witness, number 1 she doesn't smoke. Anything. Number 2 she said she noticed they put a bad over some glass, which means she wasn't even there when it happened? Why are they talking to her, so at the end she can say she won't smoke anything? Obviously they geared this story to put fear in people about vaping, not to report a story. What was he smoking, was he alone? Is there footage in the store? Give me something besides just enough info to make the most uninformed person afraid.
Someone suggested the possibility of "false flag" occurences...
This HAS happened at a couple gun shows: an anti will come in with a couple loose rounds and a bit of knowledge, and slip a round into the chamber of a gun on a table. The hope being there will be an accidental discharge (far as I know, it's only been "successful" once, and was traced pretty quick).
Kinda surprised we haven't heard of this hitting vaping. Makes me wonder how much BT and BP are actually against us...

Uh, oh... Those ANTS are tricky with their false flag attacks...
My guess, slob sub ohming behind the counter...

Here is a better article...Not so slanted against us. http://vaporacle.blogspot.com/2015/02/e-cig-explosion-rocks-san-diego.html
Regulation will NOT prevent this from happening again and again, anyone with an RDA, a spool of Kanthal wire and the desire to win his local cloud competition will produce more of these incidents...many mod and juice companies sponsor these competitions, maybe they should consider where the next injury will take the industry.
Steve, I was merely responding to what someone else pointed out: by no means claiming that such HAS already happened in the vaping world
Just a suggestion: lose the smarmy attitude

I find it interesting that the cloud side of Vaping is pretty much unregulatable. All equipment can be easily made or has other uses and they often vape pure VG.
Dang...Thanks Ryedan!!!
i really don't understand asking for regulation in this situation. stupid people will blow their mod with or without regulation. regulation will only put leash on people who are practicing safe vaping. i still don't understand people who would like to be told what to do after their 3rd birthday.
What fun would that be? There would be no more baseless conjecture and petty judgments.
Well, in the US at least, the regs are just going to mount and mount and mount. That's inevitable. It is The Way. Credulous to expect anything less.
I'd be more concerned about this, quoted from the article about the San Diego incident.
"Two weeks ago, the FAA issued a safety bulletin suggesting airlines ban passengers from putting e-cigs in their checked baggage after two recent incidents where it's believed the devices sparked fires in the baggage holds of airplanes.
Part of the FAA statement blamed the potential risk from a growing trend of users using after-market batteries or other components on their heating elements. So the agency suggests passengers pack e-cigarettes in their carry-on baggage." (You see, they've correctly pinpointed details in that bold part.)
Rest assured, when some fool's unlocked, battery-installed Stingray mod goes into melt-down in the cargo hold of a Boeing 777 and brings that plane crashing to earth, killing hundreds of people and causing millions in damage, that'll be the end of vaping as we (or those in the US) know it. Forget about the "inconvenience" of not being able to take your e-cigs with you to Cancun...There will be MASSIVE public and gov outcry to ban everything, and the public/gov won't give a rat's hiney about making distinctions between what's "dangerous" and what's not. They will throw a ban blanket over everything.
I could beg and plead..."PLEASE! Take your batteries out of your mech and pack them separately into your carry-on, as instructed by the airlines and authorities!" But it won't matter. Somewhere, some time, there is always someone who isn't listening, isn't paying attention, isn't thinking straight, or just flat-out doesn't care.

Inswva is blasting it out of the park in this thread. My phone doesn't let me click "like"... But rest assured, I would. I'm keeping score and he's winning!
Its so yesterday taking any report we can find and use it to try and drive a wedge in the community. Doesn't it ever get boring to blame everything on cloud chasers?

how come we dont hear about the 200,000 accidents per year involving lawn mowers? or about the 80,000 of those 200,000 that involve mangled body parts?
seems that we only hear about the rare occurances of things.... not the common place accidents....

maybe there should be one or two usage warning on the mod.. like one on the bic lighter. "do not fart into the pulsing coils, it might cause the dance of flaming {moderated}".

Can you imagine how high all the grass would be? Damn golf courses are going to ruin lawn mowing for all of us!
