Man.. I feel for anyone whose been hurt by this but people should have researched what they were using... "hybrid top caps" are $&!%in dangerous if you don't take careful precautions and it's no little known fact... at the same time certain vendors that are doing giant wholesale orders of hybrid style mechs or adapters should consider more fool proof options.. However careless or idiotic they may be, people make mistakes and we should protect them if possible with better designed products that don't need these things..

It isn't that mechanical mods are not safe, when used correctly, it isn't idiot proof. When I say idiot, I mean someone that has no clue of the impact of a direct short on a battery with that much stored energy.

The one thing 90% of the new vapors should have is a device that won't fire with a direct short - problem solved while the people who know what they are doing can enjoy the hobby safely.

This just in... house exploded due to pilot light on gas stove going out. Time to fear monger and outlaw gas stoves. Freaking astonishing how ignorant the media is.

Media = hey, I know nothing... but give me a job behind a camera and it'll talk out of my ... about anything and everything. Oh, the state of the world.

And that doesn't even include the guy that blew up his hand... like getting behind the wheel without ever learning how to drive. I'm sure he will become an anti vape advocate.

That 911 caller was a prime example of Darwinism.

He intentionally set himself up to be a victim.

Not everything in life is meant for everyone.
Kids today "don't have time" to learn how these devices operate.
They are "YouTube educated" and can't wait to jump on the latest cool thing.
Just dumb on many levels.
It's the false sense of entitlement stemming from a society that gives everyone a trophy.
"If you can blow clouds so can I".
They buy a cool mod, short the battery and bobs yer uncle.


Vaping is like filling your car with gasoline.
Both can get ya hurt if you don't do it safely.
