E-Cigarette Battery Explodes, Burns Man's Leg
Yet another failed chance for the media to actually help others, by stating do not put batteries in your pocket, with change or keys.
Another successful story aimed at demonizing e-cigs.
We will probably never know.Has it been Verified that it Was a lose Battery that Vented and Not an e-Cigarette in his pocket?
Ecig OR li-on battery carried in pocket with loose change or keys?
I found the NBC piece online:They just had a report on this on the NBC nightly news. We were eating dinner at the time so I didn't "see" the whole thing, but at one point when I looked at the TV, it appeared to be a photo of a burned/exploded 18650 and a interview with a vape shop owner talking about battery safety, loose coins, etc... and he held out a battery carrying case (those little plastic ones that I'm sure we all have). So sensationalized headline and opening to the story, followed up with actual battery and safety info.
So it wasn't an "e-cig battery", just a battery

They said it was a "spare battery".
I read from a link in another thread about this thing that he (the 'victim') said it was a spare battery. He is an idiot, but I hope he gets OK. He sure is getting his 15 minutes..They said it was a "spare battery".
Yeah, I mistated that. The anchor said that the victim said it was a spare battery. Maybe not an idiot, but someone who had no idea of danger in pocketing it with keys, etc. Or an idiot.I read from a link in another thread about this thing that he (the 'victim') said it was a spare battery.

If he's an idiot for not knowing about pocketing a battery with keys or change...Maybe not an idiot, but someone who had no idea of danger in pocketing it with keys, etc. Or an idiot..
