and it's being shared like mad.

It seems like total bull..... to me tbh honest, nothing else on YouTube or Google+ account.
Thoughts?

 

[Sucker_dad]

Completely plausible.

 

[Jarbs]

and how many houses have real cigarettes burned down?

 

[crxess]

Facebook the who's who of who could care less.

For every decent Group there are gaggles of families and friends all attempting to out story the other over their scrapped knee bobo.

These links should be broken.

No worries, I'm sure he'll stop himself one way or the other soon. Yeesh.

I hate when I see vendors selling Chinese egos. I'm lucky I never had a mishap in my early vaping days. I guess I was lucky the Chinese ego broke after a couple days...
I wish Chinese egos disappeared...

I don't know which video is worse, the 7 sec blow up or the 7 min future doa.......

 

[Kirkwood]

Is it just irony that the flashlights he was using were "Ultrafire"?

If you have been around the ECF for awhile, you have seen Many Threads about Mod Batteries or e-Cigarettes Exploding or Melting Down.

Just Like the Cell Phone Forum or the Flashlight Forums or the Laptop Forums or the ________ Forums have them.

The thing that needs to be Put Into Perspective is How Many are Exploding?

1 out of 10?
1 out of 100?
1 out of 1,000?
1 out of 10,000?
1 out of 100,000?

10,000 People can have No Problems using something. But when 1 Person has a Problem, then it is Big News.

It will shock if a straw is not used - lmao - someone send this dude a real mod..............lmao - hate to use this word - but this guy is a {MODERATED} - like someone posted on his vid - Darwin was really onto something.....

 

[LucentShadow]

First case is probably one of the several I've seen where the e-cig was being sold or used with an improper charger, or used in an inadequate USB port. Heck, I've even had a Joyetech eGo charger overcharge a battery. I chucked the charger. Most of those little chargers are cheap crap, and one should always be a bit wary of them.

The other video... Wow. I doubt that he's intelligent enough to know that the stupid straw protecting him from being 'shocked' is probably going to save his face when he shorts the batteries to the flashlight body one too many times. Idiot.

 

[Rocketpunk]

I'm pretty sure all ego batteries are made in China.

Seems he's really hellbent on getting the 2014 Darwin Award

That's what I thought.... Maybe previous poster was referring to the generic blister pack types?

 

[Slobalt7]

Honestly the ghetto flashlight guy should get into rda's, he seems to have a slight understanding of how to craft things. If he was guided by some of the users here on ecf he might have the ability to make some decent builds without electrocution involved.

I wonder who could've left that comment...:x

 

[Zurd]

Batteries can be dangerous, so is the battery in laptops, mobile, tablets, etc.

 

[xyanide]

I can't believe some of those idiotic facebook comments, but this .... is spreading like wildfire so it might make it to a local news station.
