Dude was in the shower...look at the scorch pattern on the wall...starts IN the shower. Says it knocked out 7 teeth, then blew up his sink. Ya, Darwin Award.

Unfortunately, I see that crap all the time. We have a regular at work that used nothing but mechanicals and drippers. I didn't find out until after Aug that he had no clue how to build, cuz I was the one working when he walked in to get new coils and I had to break the news to him. Thankfully, he was smart enough to immediately buy the materials, sit down and say "teach me". I see all too many that aren't.

At the same time though, I don't understand the interest in the super low .0x builds either. There's low and then there's stupid low. I actually have an employee (or three) like that. One guy twisted and claptoned some wires by hand one day, no drill, and built a set of coils for his Kennedy/smpl. (He was really bored that day.) I asked him if he had ohmed it when I saw him hit and fog out half the room, his response was no. I Gibbs smacked him, grabbed a reader and the bloody thing was popping a .04. Looked him dead in the eye and said don't vape that if you're within five feet of me, I like my hide where/how it is. (Side note: this particular employee is the one I wanna buy a shirt for that says ohms law isn't a suggestion, don't kiss the coils, and don't drip and drive. Guess which incident got ohms law on there?)

Prime candidates? Yes. Likely to recieve? Maybe, our health care is too good. (Ha!) Going to sue everybody and anybody for their own lack of brain cells and common sense? Hell yeah.

See, you're dealing with a smart one in your example.... They think to ask.

Some shops are to blame as well. When I'm working, if anybody asks about the mech case that I don't know well, I let them know those are advanced vaper only equipment with no computer chips, no auto safetys and require the user to do their own math and be their own guardian angel. Usually steers the newbies clear. The shop down the road however, I've gotten multiple reports, even recently, that they've tried to push beginners literally just starting into buying mechs. Sometimes with tanks, sometimes with RDAs. Fortunately most tried elsewhere, but I worry about the ones who maybe didnt and bought whatever equipment they were slinging.

I think a lot of the fascination with mech mods are also because of the cost. You can easily find a mech mod for $20 or even less whereas even a cheap regulated mod starts to $30-40.

On my iJoy RDTA Box, I am using the two Clapton coils that came with the mod and it is measuring in at 0.17 ohms. And guess what I am vaping it at? A whopping 55 watts....which works out to be 3.08 volts.

You really can't discount the safety of a regulated mod. If you look at all the videos on Youtube of people's mods exploding and bursting into flames, every one of the vented when the mod was sitting in their pocket. I am sure that when they stuffed it in their pocket, the fire button was pushed and they never knew it. I remember one time when I was travelling on a plane, I stuffed my mod into my backpack and put it in the overhead storage bin (I had my Velocity clone RDA on it). After the flight, I took the mod out of my backpack and smelled the distinct smell of burning cotton. I had forgotten to lock the fire button on the mod and somehow the fire button got pushed when it was in my bag. So for the entire 3 hour flight, the mod was firing, but because it was a regulated mod, the mod cut off after 10 seconds. If I was using a mech, it would have been really bad. Since I wasn't, the only thing was I needed to do was to replace the cotton wick.

Agreed. People are cheap. However, there's a line between cheap and downright skin flint to the point of not being safe or smart.

I have no problem with low low builds on a regulated, assuming it reads that low. The safeties are there for that reason. But putting stuff like that on a mech makes me physically cringe.

I've auto fired before as well. Chucked my Pico in my bag after a smoke break during motorcycle class, walked back inside and sat down. Smelled it about five minutes later, definitely needed a new coil.

That's the whole thing though. I think shops need to stress that to customers and online purchase points need big flashing neon warnings. Mechanicals account for probably 90% of all violent failures. Ego batteries on charge account for the other 10%. Out of those 90% of violent failures, how many were the result of improper battery safety, unsafe coil builds, 510 posi pin issues with toppers not meant for a direct to battery connection, etc? Those are all preventable issues. It all boils down to user error or ignorance. Nobody ever taught them or they didn't care.

I kinda hate the general public these days, because it's easier and more accepted to sue the pants off the manufacturer of a product or go screaming to the media than own up and say, I used it in an unsafe and improper manner. Which, in turn, regulates that product away from me and you, users who respect the limitations of that same device and have no problems using it.

made coils like a week or two ago, and I guess a piece I cut off my coil fell and happened to land in a wood seam on the floor, and survived 3 vacuumings. I managed to step on it yesterday, but I thought it was just my foot acting up again so I didn't really think anything of it til today. Sure enough, just extracted it from my toe. The odds huh?

Your shop can go ahead and go back to building....

I wish, but no...

They specifically explain that replacing coils with anything other than stock coils designed for a particular atomizer is prohibited. So, no building by shop employees for customers is allowed at all. Filling a closed-system device is also specifically prohibited. So if you’re an expert at hacking MyJet pods, for example, don’t do it for customers in your store.

Amazon is testing the same day delivery right now only problem is, the drones can only carry like 7lbs safely.

OK, I used to smoke in the shower lol, it was how I could smoke and my mom wouldn't smell it, she would think it was my dad. Now vaping... I don't even voop! My mod has no business in the sh it ter!

Not sure if you guys use these things or not, but WallyWorld had em for $5.

I can charge my phone to full twice with it. Comes in handy when you're out and about

 

[jseah]

I wish, but no...

I wonder.....since some RDA's and RTA's come packaged from the manufacturer with a couple of coils and cotton, whether that would be considered

• “Assembling a final product from the components and parts packaged together in an ENDS kit”

if the shop put the coils into the topper and wicked it with cotton.

The external battery I bought for my phone was around $30. It is 10,000 mah and supports rapid charging my phone though.

What surprises me is that Amazon has set up an Amazon locker about 10 miles from me. We live in the suburbs, so that was a shock.
