Well that just happened..

[stalkster]

IPV3 LI VR, had since release. 2 month old LG HG2's perfect wraps. Got home from store went to pull mod out of my pocket and it vented.

 

[Bonskibon]

Wow, glad your ok. What do you think happened?

 

[stalkster]

No idea, either mod or battery failure. mod wasn't used for 10-15min before it happened. Was the only thing in that pocket. I'm glad it vented and not kaboom.

Touch sensor?

 

[SteveS45]

Well I must say that really SUCKS! Damn glad your not injured!

 

[stalkster]

Thanks glade I'm ok too. Not touch sensor been set to off since I bought it/had a wrap over it, wouldn't even work if sensor was on.

Glad your OK. What wattage were you vaping at prior? I know there's a update that allows you vape at 200 watts, but with only two 20A batteries, 124 watts is more like it.

 

[stalkster]

Always .23~.27 @80watts. Atty seem fine been using same build for a few weeks Ni80 claptons. Threw it on a ohm meter no error put it on another mod and is fine.

That's odd.
I showed my wife the picture and she threatened to start smoking again.

Any chance the firing button was pressed, while in the pocket?
10 sec. cut off malfunctioned?

Odd time for it to happen-when you touched it to remove it from your pocket.

Hmm. So knowing the mod has a 10 second shut off, and the atty itself didn't have a short in the build, assuming you are correct about no tears in the battery wraps...
Crack open the mod if possible and inspect the 510 pin. Perhaps, the positive pin dropped down and shorted on the negative lead or the case from the atty wiggling around in your pocket. Which points us to another issue, even if this was what happened, the short protection should have tripped on the mod, preventing the continuous venting, but it seems for some reason, that short protection failed. Now this is just a guess, based on everything else in this thread. And, something similar happened to my istick 100w, except it didnt vent, the + lead fell off the 510 thread and shorted with the - lead. Short prevention popped and stopped the batteries from venting..
Now this is just a theory of course, since i can't take the mod apart to inspect, but seems more likely than your batteries just fulfilling a suicide pact and venting themselves. LOL.
Certainly though, contact the manufacturer with details and let them know what happened.

Glad no physical harm happened to you Stalkster.

 

[beckah54]

That is a scary picture. Glad you are okay.

 

[VintageModMan]

did you pee your pants before or after it happened???

 

[Cheallaigh]

I wonder if they could have been fake browns? we all know this normally wouldn't happen under what you described.

 

[Super Flex]

Looks scary from pictures, can't imagine what it felt like in real time. Glad, No ecstatic that you are ok, this just serves as a reminder that we should always be diligent in what we do, inspect mods, batteries and atty's often.
Once again VAPE SAFE my friends and i as very glad your safe.
