Ummm...
Most workers in most shops don't even know batteries have 2 amp limits...
And that the one printed on their rewrapped battery isn't a target to shoot for.
These aren't the people I want responsible to teach my children battery safety.
I'd trust my kids first, honestly.

The reports always say "I was vaping it like normal, and it just blew up." I have to wonder though, how many times was it, it didn't seem to be firing properly, or it got really hot, or I heard some fizzing, and I put it close to my face to check it out, and it blew up.
My son (he's 20 now) had a Nerf gun years ago that was one of the fancy ones that had a magazine of darts that was like a pump shotgun. It jammed on him one day. I walk into the living room where he's on the sofa, looking down the barrel and squeezing the trigger to see where it's jammed. You can probably guess what happened next...
He's not a stupid kid by any measure. He just didn't think about the potential consequences of his actions. Somewhere, he knew it was not a good idea, but the danger never registered in his brain or was pushed aside by the blind assumption "that won't happen to me."
That same principle could probably be applied to those who have their mech mods turn into fissile objects. The users may have some knowledge of implied risk with what they are doing, but "it'll never happen to me" wins out.
Well...Well this 'Darwin' feller doesn't seem very nice
He DOES have his own awards.
And they're not even given to the kids that win.
I think it's a nice gesture.

Word on the grape vine is he was using a mech mod with a 0.00000001 build, powered by a car battery, in the bath, while making toast.

That's just EVIL, lol!!
I've only swiped one book from the library. 'On The Origin of Species'. I was never apprehended.

Darwin Awards.
It doesn't matter what age. There is always going to be people that start an incident with "hey, watch this..."

In the British version of The National Enquirer..
Didn't this appear under the article that Elvis was spotted in his spaceship with his alien buddies zapping Argentinian cows with Mad Cow Disease in order to wipe out the population of England so the aliens could claim it as a colony?
Yeah, thought so.

What's with the hate on Argentinian cattle?
Oh, I love Argentinian cattle. Especially when combined with fire and some good seasonings, they are very tasty! Getting them to hold still for this can be difficult though..
(At one time, Argentina was the largest supplier of beef imported in the U.K.)
Jesus lord. Unbelievable.Some people have been known to just wrap a towel around it and keep vaping.

Exploding e-cigarette leaves teen burned › The Lethbridge Herald – myLH.ca
There was a two-foot by two-foot of flame,” said Greer’s father, Perry. “It lit his gym bag sitting between the two kids in the car on fire.
“Part of his tooth went into his tongue when it broke off.”
Following the explosion, Ty drove himself to his mother’s house and was then rushed to hospital.
“He was in a lot of pain for two hours, until the morphine kicked in,” Perry said.
Ty has already undergone two root canals to begin repairs to his mouth, and may need more surgery.
“It’s horrific. It shouldn’t happen to any child. And no parents should have to deal with that.”
Perry said he talked to the store owner who sold Ty the device, and said the person expressed remorse over the incident.
“He started crying a little bit when I talked to him,” said Perry, adding the meeting was “quite calm.”
Perry said Ty purchased the device on his own and was angered by online comments blaming Ty, and even accusing Perry of purchasing the device, something he categorically denies.
“There are rumours on the Internet that I bought it for him for his birthday,” said Perry. “That’s pretty funny, eh? What parent buys a 16-year-old an E-vape? That’s just stupid.
“People are bored to death sitting in front of their computers. They’ve got no lives, so they make up bull-.”
Perry said he has been further frustrated by the lack of help from the law community in Lethbridge. He said he is exploring his options, but has been turned down by every local personal injury lawyer he has spoken to.
“I can’t seem to find a lawyer,” he said. “Every personal injury lawyer I talk to says the same thing to me: ‘Oh, we don’t handle e-cigarettes’.” He said he even offered to send some photos but has been turned down every time.

Less, without a doubt which only further strengthens user error. The difference between a tube heating and not heating is significant. If I feel my mech tube is generating any unusual heat I quickly unscrew the switch and pop out the batt and let it cool. I check the build and if I am not at a .3 or higher I redo it. The sub ohm stock coils are a big problem for vapors that don't know what they are doing. They slap them on there with any battery and go, not having a clue as to their battery draw.

lol! When I was about 4 I had this neat little plastic gun my parents got me that shot round plastic pellets. One day while at my grandparents farm I decided it was a splendid idea to put said gun in my nostril and pull the trigger. After it was removed at the emergency room I had learned not to do things that seem skecthy. It may not be as cool as you think.
But I can vape a mech without blowing myself up, go figure.
Personal injury lawyers likely aren't interested because the view the industry as not having deep enough pockets for the kind of payout they want (the US-based components like the store at which this setup was purchased) or being outright judgement proof (the Chinese manufacturers of the mod, the atty, and the battery).
The guy that ended up with his mech up his Jacksie was a retired book binder. Go figure.
