I have joked around a little but all joking aside i appreciate what Sense Field has done here. As a matter of fact i am affected very much by all this being i am somewhat of a newbie to vaping and still in the phase of what device will i buy next. I have been looking at moving up from my ego twist to something a little more,,hmm, shall we say a little more advanced, you know with the rechargeable/replaceable batteries and such. And to be honest i sort of like the way this thing looks and has the Telescopic feature. Not to mention it's in my price range for "see if i like it" purchases.
Which brings me to another concern that may or may not have been brought up.. That being,How many of these device's have already been sold and in the hands of users? Are they aware of the safety concerns? I ask this after reading that this site only reflects 10% of the people that use such devices.
Maybe this has already been addressed with the vendors and purchasers.
Thank you and have a great weekend,Rob.

Where did you hear that?
Just asking because if they correct the faults, I'm interested in buying one.
Then you should blow up your own battery instead of asking someone else to perform a dangerous act like that.
Smoktech are saying they have corrected the faults. They told me yesterday they have added 3mm vent holes. No hotspring - if you want a hotspring. I'm not buying one myself, but thought I'd pass that on.
This is dangerous and misleading analysis.
I'd agree with you, but since a lit firecracker will blow a hand to shreds with more venting than this mod, I hardly think a critical non-IMR battery is going to "vent safely".
It's more than likely going to explode. The following mod had proper vent holes... what do you think a sealed "balloon tight" mod will do?
Unprotected CR2 Batteries Blow up the Detonator / Burn Leg
I agree. It's not the best idea to ask somebody (anybody) to make something explode.
We are not in the middle ages.
Our knowledge is enough to know if something is dangerous and to not use it any longer.
You don't have to get injured just to prove something is dangerous.
I know that fire is hot, but I will NOT put my hand in it just to prove that fact. Knowledge is enough.
If a device seems to be dangerous, then it's the manufacturer's responsibility to take care of the problem.
We don't have to prove freakin' anything!

AH, Cozzi,
The old reliable 'Robert's Pocket Rocket'
Little vents didn't work, but the weak end did.
But with CR2 size cells in a 18mm tube, there was plenty of clearance for gas to pass (which probably did)
I've always considered Robert's failure 'Per Design'. Maybe not the best design, but a lot better than popping the top end.

To be honest, i think that no user should ever handle naked batteries in the first place.
And after seeing those photographs of that awful accident, i am inclined to think that an hermetic and solid tube, with high pressure tolerance, would be even safer. It might possible that the vent holes might actually help exploding gases to scape with higher and localized pressure.
The energy released from the explosion could be transferred to a less harmful condition, like trying to break the tube deforming it and heat release .
So, in my opinion, a safer device, at the event of a battery explosion, would trap the gases and liquids, and it would transfer part of the energy released to deform itself plus heat.

An oldie but a goodie.
I like to pull that out from time to time to see if anyone is paying attention. If they don't, I short an unprotected battery, ask them to hold it, and run like heck!
He did a good job documenting it.
It's a 'standard'.
and I ALWAYS point out that it failed the way it was designed to.
Know which end is the weak end.
Comes from somebody who encourages someone to make a battery explode. Your knowledge is definitely more than any of ours.
GotVapes has asked everyone who has purchased them to send back the bottom tube. Smoktech is creating new tubes with vent holes which will be used going foward on this mod. There is a lot of information on the GotVapes section of this forum. I can't remember all the details, but that is the jist.
I am do not encourage anybody to do it, but if you going to do claims, do it with basis and knowledge
When are you guys gonna go back to picking on the balloon guy?
That was more fun to watch

I have a little knowledge after 3 years of vaping, and being an ECF Veteran here.
So, thank you Mr. "I registered two weeks ago".

The balloon guy is a really great guy.
He made a risky video (because he couldn't know what will the people say about it) and did something to force a big company to recall a bad product.
I give him a thumbs up for that!
