California teen injured by exploding e-cigarette

[Endor]

Yet one more reason for the mass media to publish a negative vaping story (hope this is the right forum for this...)

Scant details (to be expected), but my guess is a 'cloud chaser' running a 0.1 ohm build on a sub-par battery. I keep my ranting about this silly practice to myself.

this is a repeat of the same thing posted 2 days ago..... minimal details and excessive hype....

why doesnt the news talk about the 80,000 accidents of lawn mower mishaps?

This one bothers me, the video says this is the second e-cigarette explosion in two days in the same area. Sounds like maybe someone is selling some cheap ones with bad batteries.

There was another one in Ramona, posted yesterday. Again, scant details:

Well stay tuned there may be another story coming shortly. February 28th Vape in the Fort convention here in Fort Wayne Indiana is having a cloud comp with rules stating builds are not to exceed .05, yes you read that right, .05.

Sad, this will eventually ruin it for normal folks trying to stay off the cigarettes.....not playing games.

And there is no system or authority in place to stop it or restrict how low the build limit is. This part of vaping is out of control.

I think the Most Damaging about the Accident that occurred in Anaheim Hills was that it was a Teen.

And in California, it is Illegal for anyone under 18 to Buy an e-Cigarettes.

This is going to be Fuel for the ANTZ Fires.

I agree...its almost time to load up on everything we need to keep us vaping normally for years to come.

Soon there will be so many regulations caused by a bunch of knuckleheads we won't be able to buy anything.

Without pertinent information we have no idea if this was a cigalike, ego, mech, box mod, "other stuff" vaporizer, etc. We also don't know if this teen was 15, or 19. I really wish "reporters" did their jobs better.

Multiple reports list him as a 17 Year Old.

Here is one of them...

Thanks for that, the first linked article did not have that bit of information. Still lacking any reference to the type of e-cig. It's a good thing that law prevents teens from purchasing e-cigs, wait, that didn't prevent this, guess they're going to have to be restricted even more.

Yeah... Not sure how an e-Cigarette Blowing up in the Hands of 17 Year Old is going to be good for Anyone arguing that there should be No Age Limits for people Buying e-Liquids that Contain Nicotine.

It's not a Good thing at all, for anyone, and it wouldn't be even if it were an adult. If this was a case of user error though, it's possible that it could have been prevented if the teen were able to learn from a reputable vape shop how to properly use the equipment. Of course that's just speculation.

I know we have no good info. Something that may be happening are there are shops out there building coils for people with no clue what they are doing. I always thought that unless you can build your own coils you should leave the advanced stuff alone. And even with the new sub ohm tanks and coils there is not adequate info and warnings about how to safely use the items.

Finally. Something we Both Agree on.

BTW - Are Minors not legally allowed in Places where e-Cigarettes are Sold in California? Or is that just a Store Policy?
