USB/PC Charger Dongles

From Paul Richardson who is on Saturday Shenanigans with @MrDeseVaper


I have said a bajillion times, please do not use these kinds of chargers, they are not safe. They are cheap enough that you can buy a couple and check yourself. Please as Paul says, Vape Safe! That means knowing your gear and charging safely too!!!

Compared to the standard USB Charger with Lead

Pretty sure it was one of these used to charge the ecig that blew up in the pub...

That one was an Iphone/Ipad power supply lead thingy

The Ipad thingy wouldn't have an ego connection so the bad usb/pc charger thingy would have been used to connect the ego to the Ipad charger.... I think...

I've one of the iPad chargers that is just a wall block with a usb port, in the closeup video it shows the ecig sticking out at a right angle and you see it wiggle just before it vents - I'm fairly sure it was one of those stubby charger sockets stuck in an ipad charger so the damn thing was just stuck out of the wall at a right angle...

This is getting all too frequent, regardless of type of charger,

At least they've published the Brigade spokesmans comment that it's people using the wrong chargers...

The woman that got hers from the bloke down the pub, awhile ago. Was also using one of these types of chargers.
Worrying that the boots puritane uses this type, but the charging circuit might well be in the lookylike.
