Man Suffers Severe Injuries After E-Cigarette Explodes in His Mouth - Yahoo! News

Is this the one from MOBILE ALABAMA?
I just watched it on the 10pm news? It was BAD
He blew half his mouth off, and half his tongue is gone. I can only imagine. My god it makes you think about how you handle your mods.

OK guys - I read this story too - and you know what - it all seems a bit exaggerated to me. I mean, the guy loses ALL his teeth and part of his tongue...then somehow the battery shoots like a rocket across the room and sets the closet on fire? And on the way to the closet - the battery also set the pictures and the rugs on fire? C'mon guys - we all know that we need to be careful with batteries and that this could happen - but I smell a rat here....I'm just saying....

"I also mention that impurities such as antifreeze have been found in some samples. Then I let the patient decide." That line... Seriously, beating a dead horse on that matter.

Anyways, I'd like to know what gear he was using, and how reputable said vendor he got it from was. I don't feel the need to be alarmist, but you know how the government with a profit based agenda is.

Realistically, batteries do "scare" me to some extent, but think about it... Batteries are in cell phones, laptops, etc, and there is inherent risk in that, but you don't see regulatory structures trying to outlaw them. My 2p on the matter.

Like I said in another thread about this, I'll bet that when all the details come out, we'll learn that he was using a pass-through when it happened.

This newest accident sounds kind of similar to one that happened last month, at least on the surface. 3V batteries are often used in a stacked 6V mod. Anyhow, details will come out over time, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Made me rather sad, how ignorant they are. Translate it with google, it's in 'Bahasa Indonesia'
