I dropped a wrench while working on my car once. The damn thing fell and landed directly across the battery terminals. I grabbed my hammer ( wooden Mallet ) and whacked the wrench off. One side was welded on to the battery terminal. And the electrical arc. Oh my that was impressive. Lol
batteries are what they are. Bunch if gnarly chemicals jammed in some sort of container and stores ENERGY. That energy wants to escape one way or another.
With that said. Oh Minga to flash light boy. I hope he tossed that video together as a dry humor, sarcastic satire skit dealio. He seemed to be doing everything wrong and knew it. My guess he did this video as a joke or attempt at getting it to go media viral.
(Or so I hope and pray)

batteries are designed to hold a lot of power for their size. Sometimes, something will go wrong and a battery will vent or explode. This is possible with any battery. The battery in your cell phone, the battery in your laptop, the battery in your car, they can all do something like this.
Examples of automobiles which had battery issues in these links:

If you're reasonably careful, it's very unlikely. And you can do things like add using a lipo charging bag or making a charging box to help contain the damage if they do go bad. (The vast majority of the time, vape-batteries go bad either on the charger, or on initial use the first time they are used after coming off the charger.) If your battery seems to overheat, or if it leaks, or if it doesn't seem to hold a charge well, or if it won't reach full power on the charger, then replace it.

That is so well said, sounds like poetry to me, any kind of energy wants to spread around and share it's joy all around
I came here thinking that maybe a chip was planted in our devices that would cause them to all explode at one time.
I am disappoint, just a dead ego thread.
Friends do not let friends use ego batteries. They talk them into Provaris.

Don't count on any news agency for journalism anymore. They aren't much further with their skill sets as that kid was with his straw. At one time I thought Huffington Post was reliable if of course biased. Until I read their e-cig article. I'd not only fire the writer but the whole editorial staff for letting that turd of words out in the light of public.
I had the same experience, I thought journalists wrote articles on a subject they knew until I realized they just write anything on any subject their boss told them to.
Just want to Vent a tiny bit.
E-Cigs Do NOT EXPLODE
Laptops DO NOT EXPLODE
Cell Phones DO NOT EXPLODE
Batteries EXPLODE
Practically every one can be traced back to one of two things:
1) A faulty Charging Circuit
2) Physical Abuse of the Battery - Drop damage, water damage, over discharge damage.
These are my opinions and no one needs to buy any of them. I don't sell opinions.

he must be went thru all that trouble to get that voltage (9v) I would have just used a Car battery
BHUhahahahahaaa!!!Just want to Vent a tiny bit.

We all get what you say, it just make perfect sense and I love it.
Problem is when a battery is inside an ecig and explode, what everyone understand is that the ecig explode
Think there was something similar going on with disposable butane lighters. The cheap no-brain brands DO leak and go up in flames, had it happen to me once, and have seen it happen twice to others. One guy lost half his head of hair. Seems they have just gotten so safe to use now that you don't hear anyone complaining about banning disposable butane lighters. Or if you do, good luck, because they are here to stay.
Personally, I don't feel I know enough to be messing with mech mods and sub ohms. I love the various protections offered in eGos and can't wait for my new iTaste V3 and 2 new drippers to arrive. I drip and rebuild Kangers for protanks and build single coil cotton set ups in rdas and use a meter -- beyond that, it all just takes away from the enjoyment of the moment for me. I love those chipsets and have no desire to know how they work beyond pressing a few buttons. Gimme the safety features. I'm old and lazy.

It sounds like you already have most of the knowledge necessary, as well as the right mindset, for mechanical mods and subohm vaping. Just a little bit of learning Ohm's Law and being able to calculate the current (amps) that a certain resistance coil requires and verifying that you aren't pulling more current than what the battery is rated for.
And there is nothing that says you have to go ultra low resistance with a mechanical mod. I've found my "sweet spot" with mechanical mods is a 1.0 - 1.2 ohm microcoil with 28 gauge Kanthal.
Amps = Voltage / Resistance in ohms
So with a fully charged battery at 4.2 volts, a 1 ohm coil will pull 4.2 amps.
I've been down as low as 0.4 ohms, which would be 4.2 volts / 0.4 ohms = 10.5 amps.
Both are well within what my Sony 18650 VTC3's can safely handle -- 30 amps continuous.
Not that difficult, right?
Of course if you don't feel comfortable with an unregulated mod then you shouldn't use one. All I am saying is that it is not very difficult for someone already with experience building and measuring coils, and who has the proper mindset with regards to safety, to be able to work with an unregulated mod.
Well! That was all quite nice of you, thanks for the encouragement! Will give it more thought.
