Simple. "No one told me this could happen and it shouldn't be in a pocket full of change". Or "the store never said I couldn't use a 0.02 ohm coil with this battery". Even if you include a card or sheet of paper filled with warnings, folks will then say "Nobody told me I need to read this".
It's part of the same syndrome you can find in your car's manual. The first 50 pages of the 100 page manual are devoted just to warnings. You know, stuff like "Do not exceed local speed limit. Do not drink alcohol and drive. Do not stick your fingers into the engine while its running in order to grab that rubber belt and ask 'what's this one for?' ".
Don't you hate it when people grab that belt....
And it's someone else's fault. They should have designed it so you can't stick your fingers there.
I don't think you could win a case, If your negligent. If indeed you were using a 10 amp battery rated on the wrapper @ 35 amps, I think you have a case!
Woo, had my very first WHOMP WTF OMGOMGOMG hit the other day when I got a new pico, screwed on my little kayfun mini with the 1.5 ohm coil with cotton and took a hit ... without checking the wattage first. duh. But I use my picos all the time, so I guess I'm just so used to them all being set at the right temperature, however this arrived set at 70 watts. aaaaargh. I usually use around 12. I guess that was the only 1.5 seconds this mod will ever see 70 watts, unless I give it away.
Switching from DIY by volume to weight using a scale I was happily squirting my flavors into the bottle, got to the peppermint and forgot that I had removed the squirt tip in order to use a pipette when I was doing it the other way. Um let's just say *everything* smelled a LOT like peppermint for quite a while. Peppermint Bomb is the name of my new band.
This ^^^^. Exactly this.
Other stuff I'm forgetting. Hmm. Have you ever wrapped your wire around one post, pulled it toward you, and somehow ended up wrapping around the second post as well? Probably not, heh, yeah me neither, that would be dumb.

Forgetting to put the single coil plug in place and then dumping the tank a bunch of times believing it's your wicking at fault.

I worked with this paranoid schizophrenic before.
Guy was out there.
Overwhelmed completely.
Barely room for rational thought or learning.
Had car problems. Hard to start, etc.
Wanted to check his spark plugs.
Nobody liked him.
Thought everyone was out to get him.
Was very verbally obtuse, belligerent and loud about it.
At lunch he decided to investigate.
Was getting nowhere.
His work arch enemy spoke up.
Told him he needed to hold the spark plug wire end and the spark plug while someone cranked the key.
After a few minutes of grovelling and cursing, he finally asked his arch enemy for help.
As he held onto the spark plug with one hand and the wire with the other, arch enemy approached the door where the key was already in the ignition.
As much as I wanted to see how this went down, I had to put an end to it before I was a murder witness.

Yeah, there's mean, and then there's homicide.
I did that in autoshop class wayyyy back when to my nemesis, but it was with a lawnmower engine.
No spark plug. Just the cable coming off the magneto.
I said 'hold it just like this while I pull the cord'
Even teacher got a laugh in...right before I got put in time out.

I'll tell ya, this whole thing was hilarious. The entire shop was in stitches, spitting our drinks, etc.
Then as arch enemy approached the door, real somber, real quiet, real quick.
I don't think anybody else was processing this fast enough to believe it was reality.
All frozen...

Last night, I mixed up a few batches of juice. I was mixing up a 40 ml batch of my NudeNic ooples and banoonoos. I had put in the nic, pg, and vg, and right as I was going to put in the flavoring, I spilled the container, 15 ml lost. I filled it back with just vg (my mixes are 80 vg), so it should be fine. But I was ...... at myself.
I'm starting to think this thread might be jinxing people
To me it's 99.9% user error regarding the battery issues . Unfortunately public perception is the problem and as usual the public will automatically come to the conclusion that e cigs are dangerous .
It's terrible , the ad's make it sound like all e cig's that use batteries are dangerous . It's the idiots who have no clue about e cigs and the batteries that power them having an accident and making sure every news source is aware of it.
These law firms are jumping on this stuff now .
