Bad news?

[rasmith1959]

Last night on the local news for Oklahoma City there was a story about a woman who's eGo style battery blew up. This makes 2 such reports for this area in the past 2 months. Now my wife and MIL are worried that my joyetech eGo-C Twist are going to blow up and burn the house down. Though the thing is from what could be seen in the report the battery looked like it was a knock-off. That and the charger she showed looked like one of those for a smaller 510 battery (like a Blu ecig) and her battery appeared to be a 650 mAh or so manual eGo style battery.

I guess you could compare this to flying... Hundreds of flights happen each day and you don't hear a thing about them until one of them crashes, then it's all over the news...

can you make them feel better by charging your battery in a cast iron pot or something????

Which channel carried the segment?

If it's the same story that I read about yesterday, one of the pictures clearly showed a warning label on the charger stating that it wasn't meant for that type of battery. She blew up the battery by using the wrong type of charger.

It was KFOR channel 4 news on their 10 pm newscast.
