Ecig turns man into human fireball!!??

[Mr Numpty]

Turned him into a human fireball or he just got burned? Human fireball would suggest he himself was ablaze.

He became a human fireball? At last we have finally found the way to unlock our hidden super powers, isn't vaping a marvellous thing

Can I ask a dumbass question? Why aren't there stories of iPhones turning men into human fireballs? No, seriously, I don't understand a great deal of battery stuff, which is why it took me so long to get a mod that needed an 18650 battery, and why I'll never even consider a mech mod. But I did feel safe with my iStick... Is it just it's such a high power cell?

I leave my iStick on charge unattended but I have some schmanzy intelligent usb charge hub thing that cuts off when it's fully charged, and has different amp usb sockets, and iStick is always on the 0.5A socket. Am starting to feel a little vulnerable now....!

They don't get as much attention, but the stories are out there.

There are of course some differences in battery chemistry and design, but I will leave that explanation to someone more knowledgeable to save confusion.

I'd guess either Apple's lawyers and/or advertising revenue play a part in explaining that.

Haven't isticks got overcharge protection like innokin units?

My 40wTC stops charging and turns off when it's fully charged. Always charge it from a PC usb socket while I'm sitting with it. He probably had it plugged into a high powered socket charger of some sort.

because there is no anti phone brigade?

charging a battery IN a mod that uses a removable 18650 is the same as charging a mod with a built in battery,something fails they can both go pop.

never leave any mod/battery on charge unattended. if your not at home or at home but asleep turn the charger
off

I've read stories before of iSticks going bang but it seemed from what people were saying that they were invariably cheap clones or the person was using the wrong charging cable.

He's probably charging in a plug with a higher voltage than he should be using. Add that to having the mod under the pillow and he's fucked up. User error, as per.
