Okay so I've seen a few videos on YouTube and Instagram where people are inhaling or showing off their rda and it catches on fire. Why does this happen? Like what causes it and is there a way to prevent it? I couldn't imagine that in my face or while I was inhaling.

Had to check youtube after seeing your post. Only found one, 6 seconds long. Comments were funny. But yeah, just don't fire a dry wick.
Also, be wary of hot spots and hot legs.

Done it a few times myself but when dry burning carbon off my coils when still being cheap with cheaper cloned rdas. A lot of times after a couple of ignitions the insulators would melt down, so guessing the delrin or what not out gassing when overly hot contributes to it.
Yeah generally this is the reason. Overall: It's not good for the RDA (or for you).
It can also happen when you're dry-burning your coils (ie: in between rewicking) if there's still a buncha juice leftover on it. I try and blow it out promptly, or not get it hot enough that the juice bursts into flames. As @IMFire3605 said, the insulators aren't really meant to take that kind of "direct flame" heat.
Hitting a NI coil in regular wattage mode will do it. Just ask P. Busardo. If your TC mod jumps out of TC mode for instance....
Misleading thread title.
Most Coil fires are from lack of air flow, like having the cap off and firing.
Some Cloud chasers like to blow into the RDA before inhaling - there is a moment of dead air and super heating can occur.

Typically, if there is a battery issue involving flames what happens is significantly more involved than something you can blow out. Venting can often go unnoticed, but flames as part of a battery in thermal runaway is a pretty violent reaction.

Juice IS flammable. It will ignite if you get it hot enough. It doesn't taste very good that way. Lol!
Don't know what youboob videos you are referring to but I had a clone RDA that kept sparking and shooting out flames (on occasions) until I found a microscopic defect in the top cap that was allowing the top cap to come into contact with the coil windings (on occasion) and shorting them out. I had to modify the top cap in order to fix the problem. The risks of using a clone I suppose. So, not all sparking and fires are caused from wicks but the majority probably are.
lol..lol...... I just now noticed this video and watched it for the first time.... Man guys, I never laughed so hard since I have been on the forum.... That is just too funny
Thanks for sharing.EDIT: Victor "really love his box mod crazily" lol
Personally i would suggest to all of us not to see just the result but the cause behind it.Maybe dry wick,maybe too much power,unknown origin coil and many more.
For example Ni200 wire and dry burn together---> Boom!
So knowledge first and no expirements !
