Would not want him representing me if he wants them banned till they know whats causing them to explode.................surely to god they know why.

Anyway, i am off to do some fire breathing at the local petrol station...............

They should be using Lifepo4 cells, they may only have half the capacity but they are a lot safer, carry a few spare`s in a battery case.

Totally inappropriate battery for vaping. Disappointing to see a vape shop guy showing that battery as it cant handle to 10-30 Amps that some mods require.

These dumbass vapers (and you're not among them if you know what you're doing) gonna ruin things for us. Not the vaping; I'm worried about the future legality of retail sales of our beloved cells. You know how uninformed politicians and voters can be when it comes to outlawing things. All it takes is for these kind of accidents to not only injure the user but also enough bystanders.
