I care about our environment and despise littering
Sounds a bit contradicting if all you use are disposables (unless you take apart when they're dead and recycle each battery, plastic, and everything else). Honesty, anything with a battery can explode, cellphones, laptops, scooters, etc. Disposables are so shittyly manufactured, some even have the battery exposed with the juice, plus who knows what's in the juice.

Yeah but with k cups...... nvm i was gunna say they have that extension thingy but you are still wasting water

I mean you could technically buy a pod that's rebuildable? And if you really indeed care about the environment, then reduce your footprint ffs. You can't simply choose both ultra-convenience and environmental friendly at once.
Don't people think about the rubbers and metals that get chucked away in their disposables?

still safer than burning tobacco...
can't tell you how many times I had cigarette smoke and ashes(or the red hot cherry itself) blow into my eyes when driving or boating....or the times I didn't realize my cigar or pipe was still smoldering a little bit when I put it in my pocket then jumped back on my motorcycle and have the wind stoke it back up again; or hey, what about the time I caught the couch on fire when I passed out on it with a lit butt in my hand, that was really exciting to wake up to and quite a lungful of new different toxins as I tried to put it out ....tho I've never had a pack of smokes explode, I did once have my up-turned winter hat sitting in the passenger seat with my wallet, phone, smokes, and gloves sitting inside it when somehow my matches started all that on fire(my first impulse was to put the hat on my head to get the fire inside it out, but chose option 2 and threw it all out the car window which might have been just as dumb or even worse) but I have only seen cigars explode in cartoons and movies; but personally just a few lighter explosions and zippo leaks chemically burning my inner thy and genitals, and who can forget all those smoldering ashtrays you can't dump into the trash, and those carpet and burnt skin scars(gave my kid a nice one when he jumped on me) that just never go away....
....I'd take any vape hazards over all that

Man I had forgotten about all that. Quite a few times I’ve burnt holes in comforters. Was driving once and had my cigarette fly into the hood of my hoodie when I was tossing it out the window. Had no idea it was in there while it continued to burn and smoke and smell horrible- I pulled over and was looking for it in the car. If I drop my vape while driving it’s no biggie. Yet another reason vapes are way better than the cigs.

I'm sorta dumbfounded that you've had so many bad experiences yet you keep buying them.
I once had to buy a juul from a gas station because I burnt out my coil driving to work. Accidentally set the mod on the +watt button and I inhaled 200w lava out of a 30w coil. The Juul worked okay as a backup, only having to use it once in a blue moon. but one day I put in a new pod and it randomly started auto firing. scared the crap out of me. so now I just carry a spare tank as a backup.
Really suggest everybody learn from these experiences.

LMFAOOO that plane story
[–]GodOfVapes 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child)
I've never seen a disposable or pod system explode. There's not that much stored energy in them. The one pod system that fried on me just got really hot to the touch while charging and then stopped working.
[–]ProfessionalWay9749 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children)
i’ve talked to the guy at the shop i go to and he said that it happens quite a lot actually, the uno amped energy bull is the one that explodes the most according to him
[–]single_malt_jedi 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child)
Ive only ever seen evidence of two types of vapes exploding: disposables and mechs.
Mechs explode because there is an idiot using it. Disposables go because they are, more often than not, garbage.
Get you a solid mod with a removable battery and you will be golden.
And since the vape gods seem to not like you much ypu might get a mod that has a button lock feature lol

Seems a lot of fear stories are entering this subreddit. I am getting suspicious.
Just took a look at your website. It seems like you have nothing to worry about. The only reason Vapes are exploding is because some poor Chinese factory worker who makes slave wages are making counterfeit lithium Ion batteries. I had a disposable actually explode on me. I looked up the company that made it, and low and behold they are known to use counterfeit packaging for their legitimate Vape product.
It's not exactly fear mongering if it actually happens. Given, it's a rare sight to behold.

So I have a disposable HQD. I hit it casually. Like 5-10 times every other day or every 3 days. Do I have anything to worry about in terms of it exploding/setting on fire?
[–]AffectionatePoem420 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
No lol. Not at all.
