Scarey stuff. I can honestly say I freaked out and had no idea what to do when my mech
mod switch stuck. I just
threw the thing off the porch into the yard and went inside to avoid possible shrapnel. Turns out the switch unstuck when it hit the ground cuz the wick wasn't burnt at all. Still, scarey. Since then I've been careful to build
coils that won't exceed the max continuous amp output of my batts. That and a little graphite on the switch.
It's refreshing to hear that Apollo took such good care of you.
