So this story hit the papers yesterday...

tank used looked to be a Kanger Subohm tank from the picture I saw in the Sun yesterday.

So let me get this straight. The liquid was hot enough to burn his lung after traveling through his respiratory system but not hot enough to vaporize in the first place?

Yep.

Apparently so. Sounds like 7 shades of bull manure if you ask me. I reckon he had some spit but his lung collapse would of occurred anyways.

Well - we all have experienced spit-back at some point ..

If I had to guess I'd say he flooded his setup and inhaled a whole center post of hot nicquid straight. Random guess but man, this seems like A LOT. Roof of the mouth I can see - all the way down and lung hole? Wowwwww suspicions. -Mags

Probably didn't fill the tank correctly. If it's filled in the chimney it wouldn't vaporize, just get hot.
Its sad that 90% of these "vapin accidents" happen because of unsafe or uneducated use. But that will never be pointed out in the article.

Slightly off topic. I think it's funny (and a little sad) he uses the same setup as me.

That pic is from the "news story. There's another of him fondling it.
