There are a few that actually say do not use near open flame, really how many people shave by candle light these days.
People do some pretty crazy things in the name of romance.

Now you got me wondering what's wrong with the Nebox?This thread and others like it is exactly why ill never buy a mech mod
Safety, it shouldnt be optional and it should (ideally) survive end user stupidity
Plus i think that those who buy shiny high end metal tubes for stupid
amounts of money for tube status are dheads....
At AUD$70+- for a decent VW/TC mod, with all the safety built in (sorry Kanger Nebox, not you)...yes please
should be a no brainer, arent we using these devices for harm reduction after all,
why abandon rational thought when it comes to the devices
#BanShinyHighEndWankerTubes <- this may happen with reports like this anyways
VW/TC mods...because you shouldnt have to worry about your device becoming a pipe bomb
Yep, them long neck bottles are dangerous after drinking out of a can all night.
The bad part is with so many people converting and not learning anything, this is going to happen more often. Many people get a mech. because of price but never learn the ins and outs of using one. Now with temp control gaining popularity and some tanks coming with temp coils or reg. and temp coils, someone is going to use the wrong one at the wrong time and boom. Everyone involved in more advanced types of devices are going to have to play a part in safety. People need to research and learn on their own, local shops need to provide better instruction on safety (to consumers and employees) and we ourselves need to educate people we see or hear doing something unsafe.
Many people I'm betting don't even realize they are doing something unsafe but there are the few who ignore the information and do whatever they want. Those are the people I worry about, as they are the ones that help fuel the fire on unsafe practices and will help usher in regulations. We live in a world of stupid, where we have to make things over engineered for safety, due to the few ignorant folk that refuse to follow any rules, regulations and/or guidelines.
We started a losing battle with sanity when people could sue (and win) over coffee being too hot. If anyone want's a fun read, go into your bathroom and look at the warning labels on shaving cream, soap, shampoo and such or do it the next time you're out shopping.

Wrong.ICR batteries should not be used for vaping .... PERIOD!
Li Mn (Lithium Manganese) = IMR
Until they start blowing up. It's only a matter of time.It's just this kind of $#!+ that's going to have us all using Vuse, Blu or nothing.
Slow rolling applause!!!That's just sad. Sounds like a new vaper was sold the wrong starter gear and never got told what batteries to use.
Regardless of venting - our batteries of choice do not blow up instantly like this one apparently did. Regardless of that - that is not a setup for someone just wanting to kick the cigs.
There are no vent holes that will make the wrong kind of battery vent less violently. How well a battery handles a thermal runaway is not a function of the mod - regardless of protective features like short circuit protection or even temperature shutdowns. What does it matter if the tiny little screen reads "temp hi" for a fraction of a second (or not) before the battery (not the mod) goes boom.
Don't let safety features be a replacement for knowing how to safely operate a battery powered Anything, folks. Scares me when people who apparently know next to nothing about batteries think their mods will magically keep them safe regardless of what they throw at it or stick in it.
The problem with your logic is so does its potential energy...The problem with that is that as the battery ages, it's mAh degrades, as the mAh degrades ... so does it's CDR.
I say we sacrifice idiots and greedy .......s instead. Guaranteed to be AT LEAST 99% more effective in the long run.Mech mods may well be the sacrifice the community has to make, don't get me wrong I love my Dimitri and it gives me a better vape then some of my regulated but too many new people are buying mechs and just haven't got a clue what they are doing. On the face of it for non vapers ecigs must look dangerous as more and more stories like the one in the op are happening and while we know they can be safe non vapers just are not going to delve too deep to find the facts. B&m's need to take their share of the blame as most don't care as long as they get the cash and I've had to help out friends who went into a b&m admitting they were totally new to vaping and walked out with mechs, sub ohm tanks and crap batteries usually with a massive markup. The "victim" of this story is likely a victim of a sloppy b&m and his own laziness in not bothering to research his new setup just putting the battery in slapping that tfv4 on and boom.
Poor logic... you have to go through that daily save for the licensure just to grow to adulthood.Poor analogy. You have to be trained, pass a test and possess a licence for any of those items.
Unfortunately, how many people realize they need education before going out and buying a mod?
Wouldn't it be nice to get back to the time when adults doing stupid things took responsibility for being a stupid adult rather then blaming the object of their stupidity
Which means it needs repeating.Please stop blaming the minimum wage clerk for not educating an adult about battery safety, and primitive electronic theory.
As an adult, you must take responsibility for your own actions no matter how dumb they may be.
You don't regulate everyone because a few people make obviously foolish mistakes, like not researching what devices they stick in their own mouths.
Sad.What I've noticed is a recent trend of complete noobs being given mech mods and RBAs by their friends (some barely past the noob stage themselves) who have moved on to the regulated box mods. I've seen half a dozen completely new vapers come in with a mech mod and an RDA setup and say, "My friend gave/sold this to me, how do I use it?"
Now you got me wondering what's wrong with the Nebox?
Sent from my i6S+
Looks like Cloud Chaser brand of battery The shop hope to God for their sake they have grown a brain and have pulled them from their shop. They are labeled as 40 amp 3200 mah 18650. Ok Google Cloud Chaser battery scam and there you go. Need I say more!! Don't think the guy was told that before they sold them.

And just an FYI, the ones making the news are not high end mechs, they are cheap china clones, and while I have nothing against clones, I do dislike that the lower cost clones make it easier for new vapers without the knowledge to use them safely can buy them from any number of places including fasttech.
