Some of you may or may not know that I gave up smoking a while ago and moved onto e cigarettes. Had a few of the basic ones, but last year or so I've purchased some fairly exotic (expensive) bits of kit. So imagine my surprise this evening when the Sigelei 150W TC I was sat next to exploded in a massive fireball... set my trousers alight, along with my foot and about 5 square meters of carpet in the front room. Apparently it's called a battery vent. I call it the spewing firery fuckball of death and carnage. The fucking thing shot about 3 feet iin the air, igniting everything tha the chemicals in its trail landed on (i.e me and the carpet)
Put the carpet out before I realised I was actually on fucking fire, then extinguished myself before dealing with the still burning battery... very nearly shat my pants. Thankfully we have a massive first aid supply, so the burn can be dealt with here rather than I A&E. Gutted about my trousers though, my favourite pair!! Some places it's burnt through the carpet to the underlay, had hot metal melt through itn loads of places. i
This wasn't some shitty £20 ecig set up, whole thing was about £150, all genuine bits etc.
So if anyone here is using ecigarette, please check your batteries (especially if they're Efest 18650's - throw these away!) and your set up. The sigelei is a regulated one, but the scary thing is that I wasn't even touching or using it, was just sat beside me whilst I was hacking away at the laptop. Would appear that the wrapping had a split in it somewhere which caused a short circuit.
Took the wife and children to Hunstanton today, 60 mile trip one way... Had that gone off when we were cruising on the A47 I doubt I'd be here to post anything again. Truely terrifying (and this is coming from a man who often ends up setting himself ablaze)
At least I've kicked the habit, can't stand cigarettes, and I don't think I'll be touching any of the 5 remaining vapourisers again...
I'm sure my phone moves words around for fun... well, it made sense when I typed it out
Oh yeah if anyone wants to buy some nice vapourisers I've got 5 left that haven't gone bang yet! Good prices for my SUK friends.
