Obviously! Hey, I was on the way out the door and apparently not paying quite enough attention.
i for one am glad no one was hurt.
having said that i suspect over time cloud chasing competitions will become more formal and safety orientated.
5 years down the road(if the roads still there) there will probably be local and national organizations promoting and teaching the proper ins and outs of sub-ohming. complete with rules,regulations,memberships and,safety standards.
being at the forefront of technical innovation in the vaping industry i don't see sub-ohming going away any time soon. i also do not have any problem with it if one is schooled in the proper techniques involved.
much like NASCAR is today the sub-ohming community will be tomorrow.
come to think of it though,i don't see any NASCAR racers roaring up and down Payne avenue.

WHAT ! ! !
You've never watched a Diet Dew commercial?? Hell, JR even chases up ducks!
Super sub-ohming isn't dangerous in the same way that a tossed grenade that misses it's target isn't dangerous
Super sub-ohming pretty much qualifies as dangerous by definition. Let's not minimize what a word means.

A couple comments from reddit that I think sum it up nicely...
"Problem here isn't with cloud comps. It's with a stupid kid that thought it was smart to take a clone and modify the switch. His modifications caused a catastrophic failure with the battery. Even as much as I am anti clone, the mod that the clone was copied off of was designed in such a way that I have ran very low sub ohm builds off of without a single issue. That's because of the way it is designed. The clone is damn near identical in design, but not materials. Now, this kid modifies the switch in a way it was not meant o be modified, and now causes a fatal flaw in the design, and the outcome is an exploding mod. Blame this kid for screwing up severely, not the entire cloud chasing members of the vaping community. It's user error, because hell, I've seen eGo batteries explode because someone bought a cheap knockoff and left it on some knockoff charger overnight and it shorted and exploded."
And...
"it started to fire in his pocket, he pulled it out it started to spurt from the battery, he tried pull the battery but couldnt because the delrin had melted it shut.
0the kid flipped out and dropped it, and ran. it hit the floor directly on the switch and popped. most of it launched like a bottle rocket and took out a ceiling tile, which fell into the crowd and nearly took out a vendor. you could hear the thing blow from all the way across the event. nobody would say who he was, everyone said they didn't see him or didn't know who did it. the rest of the mod went shrapnel and some of it melted part of the floor.
this kid wasn't in the cloud contest, but realize that these contests glorify behaviors without proper explanation of them. perception is reality.... all the kid in the audience sees is 10 seconds of a guy blowing a huge cloud. he doesn't see the guy checking his build with a meter, cycling his batteries and marking ones with how many charge cycles they have on them and throwing away ones that are damaged in any way. unfortunately a lot of people make money off of these contests so i don't think they will stop.. however i think that regulation and a huge media blast is more than needed at this point. luckily nobody was hurt this time. next time, a piece of a mod might be in someone's skull.
if you're a shop owner, manager, or employee it is your duty to try and show these types of vapers the right path. i replaced a damaged battery out of pocket today for a kid that was rocking a half-vented samsung yesterday. a temporary fix, but when the battery costs 4.50 - 8.50 depending on your supplier, that's a small investment in the health of a young vaper, and the well being of our industry. i'll be damned if i'm going to let anyone ruin this so i can go back to 2 full time jobs to not make ends meet."

I would like to know what you do with someone like this?
This is exactly what FDA regulations would, ironically enough, create a lot more of..
Which was part of my argument in one of my comments I submitted...

That has to be the most disturbing video I have ever seen.

I really don't have any words for that video other than idiotic. Even though I don't sub ohm, sub ohming does make sense to me & I understand why some like that kind of vape. But this was ridiculous imo.
I was laughing a little though watching him build & load that thing up with eliquid. I do believe I could have built 20 coils (for sure 10) with the amount of Kanthal he threw away lol. And the eliquid was at least a couple days worth for me lol. Just a little funny to watch as I'm WAY more conservative with my stuff.
How do you stop young adults from drag racing, playing chicken, using illegal stuff, diving head first in unknown waters,.....binge drinking?

I saw that idiot earlier too. Not sure what the stupidest part was. Maybe the fact he's holding the mod with a thick towel should be an indicator something might not be right? Or stretching out a collapsed spring? Nevermind we can't be bothered with seeing the math is way, way off.
Was it just me or was the battery smoldering in a plastic trash can filled with paper at the end?

OMG!! A prime example of what NOT to do kiddies!!
AND... then throw a venting battery into a trash can full of paper.Boy... I bet his folks are proud!!

Me too. I gave the video a thumbs down and reported the video as dangerous activity.

That is quite possibly the most magnificently stupid thing I've watched in a LONG time. All the warning signs! It's so hot he needs a towel to hold it, then he hears the battery go "pop", and his first response is to aim it at his face, thoroughly confused at what's happening. I think between this guy and the guy at Vape Blast, we have our Darwin Award nominees for this year.

No words do this justice
