SB, I've never heard of any instance where a death victim has complained.
Mind you, I could see it happening with my MIL!

Maybe you are missing the point Anthony. As far as these items are concerned the opportunity to buy cheap should not exist.

Anything that involves charging a cheap battery with a cheap charger. Has the potential to go bang.
Be it an e-cig, mega kingsize vaping mode, laptop, mobile phone, rechargeable torch, etc. etc.
And yes they shouldn't exist.

i think the clue is in the name, battery
a battery stores energy, sometimes lots of it...we would like this energy to come out slowly and controlled. sometimes it doesnt, but anything that is called a battery has inside it lots of energy, stored up, like a coiled spring.
boom.
if only we lived in a perfect world these things would never happen, but we only discovered tools a few centuries ago, and we sure as heck havent perfected sticking lots of energy into an item and then having total control over it always.
what I'm wondering, is all these phones charge from usb, and there's loads of cheap ciggie lighter-->usb doodahs floating around. You may already have one in your car for satnav/tomtom/mobile phone charging.
and oh look, my ecig fits also, I shall use that.

Why should she, she's probably sitting on enough money to last a lifetime and beyond when it goes to court. By then no doubt, the precedent will have been set by previous cases.
Middy, take yourself back just a short while when you knew absolutely nothing about e-cigs other than they existed and this takes me onto Part II of my first post. You would have been quite likely, as thousands are, to have walked into one of these high street e-cig shops for info and guidance. There, you would have probably been greeted by a totally no nothing sales assistant, who would have fed you all the bollocks in the world about the top quality products they sold. Including how safe they were and that even plebs, sorry celebs, used them and all the rest of the sales shit they were taught to spiel. I would suggest you would have quite likely walked out with one or two. That is what's facing new e-cig users around the world who do not have a vaping friend and who do not find vaping fora to seek advice.
Sadly, these cheap oriental knock-offs coupled with the plethora off new high street shops jumping onto the fast buck bandwagon, could result into an e-cig tsunami of which we could all fall victim to. I would also suggest there maybe one or two of our own Marketplace vendors that might possibly rethink selling certain products.
Right, I must get to church quickly.
Just heard they've re-leaded the roof again since we had the last lot away.

Conspiracy theory no 293 in a series of 7,056,974 :
The vested interests have essentially lost the argument over the safety of vapour and are now switching their attention to batteries as an excuse to impose regulation in the run up to the TPD vote.

Next door's cat is monitoring my movements and passing them on to interpol.
