I didn't vote for him, but hey. I almost feel sorry for the guy now. He's got so many people trying to get his ear. One faction thinks the priority should be to criminalise abortion and beat back the monstrous invasion of Gay, other factions think the national debt or gun rights are more important. Some want him to drop bombs on the world, others want him to pull back from foreign entanglements. March millions of people across the border or court the Hispanic vote. The list is long and the voices are loud.

Somewhere in that mess is us. We are telling him vaping is good and gets people off smoking and encourages small business and stop regulatory overreach, another faction is telling him vaping is demonic and turns children into addicts and will take away a huge pot of money that he needs to implement some of his expensive campaign promises.

No telling if our pleas will even reach him. We don't have corporations and lobbyists and billionaires and politicians. Well maybe a few politicians. If it does cross his desk there's at least a chance he will decide in our favor. I'll sign the petitions anyway in case it helps.
Think he'll listen to Burnie Sanders on vaping? :blink:

I see in the news someone blew their face up with an ecig. So the ecig uneducated public says they're dangerous, LOL. And the other one set his pocket on fire. I guess that's reason enough to ban those nasty things. The pocket dude is going to sue the ecig company. What I'd like to know is did he turn it off before he put it in his pocket? Was his thigh pressing on the button? People are so stupid.

Don't know if he had it turned off or not, but it looks like he had spare batterys and loose change in his pocket with it.

Yes. The media use such opportunities to demonize ecigs but also you have to believe that such graphic presentations might also be a wake up call for some vapers.
They can be dangerous, stuff happens. Regardless of what you think, stuff can happen to you.
If someone sues and their lawyers can prove negligence or some such, more power to them.

Not say'n that the Media hasn't ever Demonized a story that includes e-Cigarettes. Far from it. But many times the Media just using what is Available to Hype It into something they think you will Read/Click On.

When Analytics are used as a Basis for Advertising Charges, I'm not sure why it would be any Different.

I mean, a Story about a Plain Old Battery Exploding isn't very interesting. And not very Topical.

I was thinking it was an RX 2/3 so he had 2 extra batteries to use as a 2 cell MOD.
u r correct actually. just checked the battery covers on my dual battery rx2/3 and rx200s. that silver spot in the center of that cover is only on the 2 battery cover of the rx2/3.

the 2 burnt cells were probably loose in his pocket with the rest of the burnt items and the 2 brown cells likely came out of the mod

I can't totally knock the news media on this one. How often can you capture something that dramatic happening in really nice HD video from 2 views?

Besides, the election is over. They've got a lot of time to fill up with something that will grab attention.

Hate to say i agree, but you are dead on. If he didn't vape, he wouldn't have nearly BBQ'ed his nads.

If a Samsung phone blew in someone's pants, it would make the news just as big.

I don't care, but at a glance it looks like he had a 3 batt mod, 2 extra batteries and change in his pocket. Not smart.

Having said all that, who the hell can fit a Releaux with an atty and extra batteries in a front pocket anyways?!?!:w00t:
