Came to work today and at the preshift meeting they go over safety stuff and any incidents in our warehouse network. Well sometime this past weekend someone had an e-cig in their messenger bag and it caught fire and burned out a good portion of the office and almost spread to the warehouse.
They passed around photos of the damage and the device and there it was. A dual 18650 mech box mod. The batteries were intact so it didnt start from there, instead it looks like (and very probably was) the guy just threw the mod in his bag without taking out the batteries and something pressed down the button and the mod started firing until it caught the contents and bag on fire and the rest of the office with it.
Seems like this stuff is happening now a few times a week and most of them are making the news. Hopefully this one stays private, but damn, maybe its time to give IQ tests or safety training before selling someone a mech mod.
