Is that a vape in your pants or are you just happy to see me? :P Seriously tho, this can happen to ANY device with a battery these days. The battery was most likely faulty, and it happens, we can never secure ourselves 100% in anything in life. Expect this to happen to a certain % all over the world.

To be fair(not defending those silly things), but a lighter can explode in your pocket as well.

#2 may I add that when you know your way about vaping, you know that this accident in the video can happen, now a day, in only two cases:

-it's an home made mod. Badly made/handled

-it's some expensive hardware for ppl who should know better.


batteries used are chemicals, there's a safety "speed" limit at which you can discharge it.
building a stupidly short coil can lead to that video if the switch got pressed continuously in your pocket because you didn't set a locking feature.
