How a PV burned my pants (and my leg)

[CSR]

Just a little tale of caution for those of you who thought your friendly PV couldn't harm you.
Last night I was having a few too many cocktails with friends (mistake #1)
I was tugging away on my new ICON using a lo res atty - and did not lock the button down before putting it in my cargo shorts side pocket. (mistake #2)
Well, I have no idea how much time went by but suddenly a friend says
"hey I smell something burning!"
Guess what? My bloody shorts were on fire and I had a nice little burn on my leg to match.
I reach in my pocket and pull out a red hot ICON.
Just then a concerned friend reaches out to see how hot it really was - and burns the hell out of his hand!

That'll make you the life of the party I can tell you.

So remember to be careful and make sure you watch where you put those
little devils!

Thats exactly why I use a Saber Touch now.
I burned up an eGo cartomizer thinking it was safe in my purse, come to find out itwas leaning against something. I ended up with a dead battery and a melted carto.

I was getting a ride home from my brother. we were packed into the car with other people. My manual ego was in my jacket pocket.

about 5 minutes later we were pulling into my drive way and I smelled burnt plastic. The ego had been running the whole time and was too hot to touch.

never again!

fell asleep with a standard 510 when i first started vaping. woke up painfully with it under my hip. it left a nice burn mark on my pants and my sheet not to mention, the melted cartridge lol. needless to say, im a little more cautious now

Exactly why they shouldn't put buttons on the end of Ecigarettes. Stupid IMO, put a resistant button on the body of the Ecigarette, it would have minused you catching fire and burning your leg as well as your friends hand.

Looks like they try a model, make it, mass produce it and sell it. Without testing or taking the button into consideration seeing how that is one of the most important and dangerous parts on them. Dangerous, yes.

There's something to be said for on/off switches on mods.

Thats what I like mechanical switches. They won't fire unless you intend for them too.

Just ordered an Icon so i will keep this in mind. im not too wild about the idea of the button being on the bottom either kinda liked where my 510 had its button.

Well - having a couple martinis again but rest assured that puppy is not going to see the inside of my pocket until it's 'unarmed'
Actually I am a big fan of automatic knives which are equally as dangerous in your pocket (believe me).
My Icon really reminds me of my switch blades - beautiful AND dangerous. I love it.

this is why I switched to riva batteries instead of ego batts, the button is at least 3x less likely to go off in my pocket. I still wish there was a dedicated off switch somewhere
