The more I read, the more I think he wasn't using tenergy's when stacking to get up to 6v...

The article said he was in a Burn Unit in Mobile, Alabama. Not uncommon to be transported to an out of state facility for burns. That said, he has been released, so it couldn't have been TOO horrible?
funny thing is, cigarettes have damaged and fatally killed millions, and the e-cig just has 1 casualty, lol.
Not sure if this new info has been posted in this ever-growing giant thread, but here is a new development (I think) on this guys device
Have any of you heard of such a thing? A nicotine blast? This is sounding more and more like the perfect bait for the FDA to finally regulate or ban ecigs, they can use this 'nicotine blast' as a scare tactic to explain how ecigs have such potential for overdose and dangerous use, and along with the battery exploding, its just what they need to put a cap on this.

How many do we NOT hear about.
I think more than one person has been injured.
Sort of like the auto industry.
No recall unless the liabilities exceed the cost of the fix.
Remember the Ford Truck and the cruise control switch causes fires?
Once they got caught up fixing those someone remembered other Ford
models that used the same switch, then another model, then - -
New would come out when they were ready to start fixing the next model.
Recalls for coffee makers, toasters, all kinds of stuff that burns down houses.
What agency will drive a recall of a potentially dangerous e-cig? NONE.
It's all on us.
This somewhat invisible industry (people are still frightened by the FDA reports) is just breaking into mainstream news. Projected growth is exponential, and that's not going to be just juice. People jumping on the band wagon and not just in China either. Search the web for U.S. snake oil e-cig sites. Money, money, money. LLC

Or a direction on putting a control on the devices themselves, which will lead to the other controls.
Think about it. There is a contest on just how high modders can drive these things. What are we up to now (7.4v I think I have seen a thread on this)? I am still waiting for the modder that has built a pass thru for his power plug in his car so that he can vape at 12v... It will require a 60ml tank for a 30 min vape, but if it is possible it will be tried...
Now that's not fair.
Some people just can't get by with 'run of the mill' vaping.
They NEED the iPhone 4S of mods.
Real men don't vape girly e-cigs

Boys and their toys have always been a problem......................
Yep if they regulate e-cigs they should make all of them pink. This will control the "Men" from using theirs in public places that they will be restricted from use in (LOL)...
Oh you gotta read this one. He says - "I think anyone sane would take the risk of death years away over the risk of something exploding in their face, right?"

Go read the best post I have ever read on ECF (even my posts can't hold a candle to this one)

Someone got it right.

First on the victim, thankfully reports have gone from having knocked out all his teeth to him having lost several front teeth. Still not good, but not as bad as first portrayed.
Second, the Kiklas person, I believe quotes carried in some stories have him saying nobody had ever heard of such a thing before. What was the January accident, if not a runaway leading to injury to the head/mouth? The January accident generated a lot of buzz in the vaping community, this one is only 4 weeks later.
On the "nicotine blast", that just sounds likely a really lame way of saying the person was using a mod, blithely ignoring the fact that popular high mAh batteries like the fat batt 510s have a lot of stored energy too.

I disagree with him saying Ego's don't explode.. There is video and photographic proof all over the forums.. I'd say Ego/Ego Clones have failed more than any other battery do to the shear numbers sold and used.
I think we are talking MODS here.
The mini has grown up.
EGO and Clones are the Chinese and you don't have a CHOICE of Li-ion brand.
To most folks the vape MODS, an eGo ain't one.
I know this will bring on all kinds of discussion, but the thing that surprises me is underrated little RCR123A cells are still being vaped. I only do 3.7 volts and have not kept up with the various models available.
Wow.

I think that he was referring exploding in the mouth. All the Ego explosions that I have read about were on the charger. Do you know of others?
Also from what I've read most of the ego failures have been of the "bottle rocket" type as opposed to the "grenade" type. While neither is desirable I think the actual sudden, grenade type explosion is what you'd worry the most about.
