Guess the 18650 flashlight industry going down with it too.....
Go into a Walmart and check the bulletin board by customer service...dozens of recalls for battery powered items, not e-cigs yet, but flashlights, toys and other assorted items. Mishandled or poorly engineered battery powered items can be explosive.

Yesterday noticed I kept getting e-liquid on my hands when filling my Nautilus Mini Stainless Steel Mesh Tank so I emptied it and washed it out. Once water hit the glass portion pieces landed in the sink so apparently dropping it multiple times cracked the glass. Took out the spare in the vape cabinet and it is for the Nautilus and NOT the Mini!!

hate it when that happens. I've tried to explain it to someone else before, but they didn't quite get it...

I haven't shorted my wedding ring on a battery yet...anyone know if Tungsten is conductive?! lol
Conductive enough!! I made an atty coil out it last night and it worked great on a DNA.

Bought provari 2. First time I connected a gtank-us and slipped it in my pocket, the weight of the 2 ripped through a hole in my pocket. It rolled down my leg, and as I tried to catch it with my foot, it launched across the room, tore the battery tube and the top connection sprung out.

The other day... My RDA has a metal goon style drip tip, welp I don't like metal drip tips at high wattages so I swapped it for the PEI one from my Goon RDTA... Used the dripper for a couple days... End up grabbin the good style RDTA that has the metal drip tip on it, the problem is the metal one has a longer shaft and it connected to both the positive and negative sides of the deck, went to take a vape and zzzzaaappp shocked my lips >.<
