Colorado man SERIOUSLY injured by e-cig!

[Drifts]

You guys gotta see this. Kind of scares me to even continue vaping. I found this article as I was prepping a new coil in my arctic tank. A Kanger sub tank blew up in this guys mouth! Broke his neck, his tooth, and now he's undergoing spinal surgery! This is some really scary news. Perhaps he was using the vape improperly? I hope this doesn't mean the end to vaping. I really don't want to go back to smoking cigarettes.

Of course it's all over the net , it's negative news with "e cig" in the name , thats ALWAYS big news . Hope he's going to be OK but this sucks.


I was just reading the comments below , talk about misinformation , here is what one guy said and nobody corrected him on his mistake .

Wants to be a personal trainer but smokes these things? The vapors have Ethylene Glycol in them. ITS ANTIFREEZE!!! Don't you people read the ingredients before you put that stuff into your bodies???

Don't use a mechanical mod in which the picture shows. Spend $20 on a vape device and start vaping with something you know nothing about when you have a potential bomb in your hand. Likely had a flashlight battery in it which are low amp and not high drain batteries. That or a dead short. Mechanical mods are strait power off the battery. Use a regulated device with good high amp batteries and carry on trouble free. CHEERS!

I may be wrong but I think the mod pictured has a hybrid connection, mix that with the non protruding pin and it's trouble. I've been using mechs for a couple years now and have had no issues. Just don't be dumb and do research. One of my local vape shops is actually being sued over end user stupidity.

If I wreck my motorcycle going 140 mph I'm not going to sue the manufacturer or the dealership for making powerful we equipment or selling it to me. That's on me.
