I was unaware of the risks of my mech mod as shipped from the company. Now I am aware of it and that is on me, you're right. I mostly use an eleaf pico and I have set it to turn off with two clicks to the fire button so mostly I'm good. But the reality is, as shipped from the manufacturer, many mech mods have a higher danger factor than other mods. I believe that is what this thread is about and I'm surprised I'm getting so much kickback.

Unhooked, I agree that mech mods present dangers. But the kickback you are getting is that you are using yours in an unsafe manner and talking about it very cavalierly, rather than taking the steps you should to make it safer, and you know better. You do, I think. I don't know if it's a risky behavior you enjoy, laziness, or whatever else?

I am under the impression that most mech mods are dangerous due to User Error, and lack of safety features for those of us who may not be well versed in safety issues, or may not want to take that risk. You are actually demonstrating how unsafe mech mods can be in the hands of someone who is not well versed in safety issues, and JOKING about the risks once they are pointed out to you, rather than saying, "Hey, that's a good idea, I'm not going to stick my repeatedly misfiring mech mod in my pocket anymore without adding safety features.... I'm pretty sure it's going to catch fire one day." How is that remotely defensible in your mind? It's not kickback, it's concern.

Mechs (like most things in adult life) are dangerous if you dont understand, and pay attention to, what you are doing.

Otherwise, there isn't alot that can go wrong with a mech.
That's one reason some of us prefer them over regulated devices.

Almost ALL "dangerous situations" with mech mods are user error due to lack of understanding, or carelessness.
