Do not know the details how and where the battery in question was purchased from or charged, in 4 years of vaping i have had hundreds of units As a Reviewer and tester) , batteries and assorted stuff though, in the entire time I have had only 2 yes 2 batteries that had a crises, one was an eGo type and started smoking on charge (Belkin separate USB Hub powered) and the other was the infamous Vapro filmed committing the makes standard suicide self ignition / overheat . So far this week we have had a puppy die from munching on a Nic filled Carto and now this, I have emailed the BBC to ask for information one how many Puppies and Dogs have died from neglect or abandonment as well as how many fires and deaths have been caused by analogue cigarettes, i doubt i will get an answer however, i have pointed out to them that they are obliged to give a balanced report on events, i fail to see with the current reporting on E-Cigarettes where any balance is tbh.
And obviously all this has suddenly started to be reported since the MHRA and that ilk have started to state that E-Cigarettes should be fully controlled and under their remit... coincidence..i think not, first rule of an attack..divide your enemy( say perhaps think of the Children) , nullify their influence (possible ban on forums and advertising) and then attack (bring in legislation banning usage / sales) , it`s a tactic the powers know well .
