Well as long as the press/ Media keeps going after the big headlines to sell more news we are stuck dealing. Unfortunately we have to suffers as these cases are what the Gov looks at. Not the fact 1000's have quit smoke because of vaping. Wait that's the problem that the extra tax revenue created from smoking is declining. So once they figure out how to regulate and tax it all will be fine.

We need more of these kids to do stupid things like this. When enough of them have done it, public apathy will set in and it will hardly be a blip on the news radar.
Like school shootings.
"Oh that's terrible! Somebody needs to put a stop to that stuff!"
Then the page is turned, the channel changed or the next link clicked.
I'm relying on human cynicism and resignation to win the day for us.

I bet more people choke to death on skittles than idiots blow themselves up with their vaping gear. You can blow yourself up with a chemistry set if you put your mind to it. I don't think it's fair that every time some idiot blows themselves up with vape gear it's used as ammunition to destroy vaping totally.
All I can say is way to go America. You can't go more than a day without reading about some toddler blowing their mom away because he grabbed her Glock out of her purse which was loaded, with one in the chamber and the safety off or some other stupidity involving guns, but no, when that happens it's a victory for freedom and the second amendment. But some ..... blows himself up with a battery and everyone wants to ban that.
Congrats on that.

Anyone want to take a guess how many people blow off body parts every year with fireworks which are DESIGNED to explode? Yet they keep selling those.
Some e-cigs can explode.. (cue sincere concerned expression)
Missoula Dentists discourage e-cig use (strange, what do four root canals cost?)
Local B&Ms say the problem is usually user error (but what do they know, they wouldn't give us an interview)

Fair ? There's a war on.
BG BP BT are waging war against vaping. Any 'ammo' can and will be used. If tossing a kitchen sink would gain them an advantage they'd do that too. And idiots ? They actually love idiots. Idiots are easy pickings in a war...
And 'fairness' is the exception on the battlefield.
Someone once said that 'truth is the first victim in any war' .
So that old story will rehashed and trolled in just about every click-hungry rag and 'news'feed they can lay their hands on.
But like in any occupied 'territory', the remnants of the opposition will just go underground. And the 'war on this' and 'war on that' will fail just as miserably as all the other wars on this and wars on that. Ample eveidence to that can be read in history books or current media...
Nothing wrong with mech modding, sub-ohming, cloud-chasing.
IF you're knowing what you're doing.
So be a vaper, if you want to be one.
But please try not be an idiot about it.
When I was about 7-8 my parents bought me a wood burning kit and I never burnt anything other than what was supposed to be. These kids now days can't even fake smoke without blowing their face off. I weep for the future. 
Nope I was just curious what Canada had to do with it, and I don't think location is gonna matter when it comes to regulation, the big arguments the government uses up her concerning diacetyl and regulation usually quote US or British studies.The Canadian incident has been presented in the US as a US case that may have bearing on regulation.
Since it's a teen in the US, feel free to replace "Canada" with "Illegal."
Now..
Did you insinuate I meant something derogatory?
Is there a problem?

Not read the story not going too we all know how it goes by now virtually no real information, idiot misusing the gear and getting to blame the gear rather then themselves for being a prat and usual band wagon riders jumping on to warn against all ecigs. I don't even care about the injuries either or whether it was a teen or a senile octogenarian totally uninterested in this bs media campaign I've got the message. I made a better choice for me and everyone round me but it's costing people money and if left alone would cost pharma big money in the future so it and I must be stepped on to safeguard the cash.
Click-bait journalism at its very best, right there.
Some models of cars have been known to explode... especially when drunk, inexperienced, or just plain negligent drivers careen off the road and plow into an immovable object. According to their logic, shouldn't the cars be to blame?
That's true, but car manufacturers take this and information from other types of accidents to produce safer cars to prevent people from getting killed when accidents or negligence happens. Things like seat belts, crumple zones, air bags, etc.
In the vape world, manufacturers produce metal tubes with no regard to safety considering the type of battery that's going to be installed and leaves all the risk to the user. Something I don't agree with at all. At least quality mechanical mod makers like in the Reo have safety measures built in. I believe the Reo has a collapsible spring that disconnects the battery in the event of a short.
Regulated mods have far surpassed mechanicals in terms of safety and performance. The only thing mechanicals offer is looks (because some do look really nice I must admit) and size (no space required for electronic boards and associated wiring).
At this point I can't believe people still use mechanicals.
Yet people still can choose to buy a classic car without air bags and crumple zones! Can you believe that!
I like to make my own choices in life, I out grew needing a mother to tell me what is best fit me.
I use to live in a country that had freedom to take care of myself and family.
And screw the children, let their parents raise them!
Hmm why a mech let's see simplicity ease of use and reliable far beyond what a regulated will be I know which of my mods will still work in 20 years and it won't be any of my regulated, of course I did my research and reading up so I can safely for me and people round me use my mech. Don't hate on the gear because a few idiots use them after all if we banned everything idiots have harmed themselves with there wouldn't be much left that's the joy of idiots.
Too bad he didn't lose his tongue. People that stupid should not be allowed to talk.

Can't speak for the one in Montana, but the one in Canada a huge amount of blame should be put on the shop owner who sold it to the kid, he sold him a hybrid mech mod with a sub ohm tank, the kid probably didn't even know it was dangerous
Incredibly incorrect.
There is not a single mechanical mod that will "explode".
Batteries explode when shorted or abused. In a metal tube, in a pocket full of quarters, in a bag, in a flashlight, on a charger...improper use.
It has nothing to do with the mod and everything to do with the use of the battery.
Batteries only explode when or damaged.
I can't imaging why anyone who doesn't understand mechanicals or battery's can for regulation or bans.
People dear what they don't understand.
The sign of maturity is the ability to educate oneself.
Mechs are not for beginners.
Advanced users only.
........and they keep saying More warning Labels! Ijits don't read Labels.
* the other Traditional Saying......................
When ALL ELSE FAILS(battery explodes
) READ THE INSTRUCTIONSWell, in our case............. Research the instruction. Read/watch/ask/question
What's incorrect about my statement? I never said anything about a mod exploding. I only mention they offer no safety features in the case of a simple mistake or accident.
For example, I had an atty at the time where the center pin slid up on me unknowingly when screwing it onto a mech. As soon as I hit the fire button the mod got hot, real fast. I unscrewed it as fast as possible and was able to prevent the battery from venting. Had the battery vented, there was no safety feature in the mech to prevent a potential/probable explosion. Maybe the venting would have helped, maybe the battery would swell first and block the vents, who knows.
A regulated mod would have thrown an error code. A mech Reo would have collapsed the spring. A correctly build unregulated box mod would have simply blown a fuse. All of those examples have safety features built in to catch mistakes to prevent batteries from venting. A standard mech has nothing except its user. And users make mistakes. No one is perfect.
I'm not against mechs. I own a stingray and nemesis. They are really nice mods. That doesn't change my opinion in regards to safety though. They are both unsafe mods and I use them knowing the risks involved.
