The retail business as we currently know it will change. Some of us will survive some will not. Those smoking cigarettes will suffer the most if the FDA does not roll back some of these impossible regulations. However the biggest immediate threat is taxation by local government. Nice conversation and good vaping. I'd like to send something new to try on me for being so civil throughout this thread. Just send me shipping info.

Thank you Bgh Honestly no need :) donate it if you want to to one of the vets or acting serviceman in the PiF section, give it a good Home

I understand but I thought of it more as a gift to someone being friendly more than adversarial for a change. Have a good holiday season and great 2018.

You know as well as I do that almost all those explosions had nothing to do with building coils...they almost all were idiots putting some cheap ass tank with a flush 510 pin onto a hybrid mech and causing a hard short, they had nothing to do with the coil,hell I bet alot of them were factory coils.....I agree that it is your bussiness and if you want to protect yourself from sue happy dummys who won't bother learning how to use a knife and fork properly..I know people who are afraid to even hire people anymore because they are afraid that if they fire them someday they might face a lawsuit over it,
Given the culture I may very well adopt the same policiy if I was the OP, however I would not go around fear mongering people I'd tell them that using a mech or building a coil is far safer than driving a car or living in Chicago.that they can go on youtube or a vaping forum and learn everything they need to know to do it safely...I have never blamed a shop owner for idiots blowing themselves up...that is on the customer to learn how to operate the equipment properly....as I said after 30 years on construction sites almost every accident I've seen has been user error...I've seen an idiot be able to hurt themselves despite whatever saftey gaurd was put on the saw...and the vast majority of tools have no such gaurd they rely on the craftsman using the tool properly.also this stupid obsession with blowing big clouds has got the noobs thinking they aren't really vaping unless they are vaping a .15 coil.
If this bullcrap that building coils and mechs were unsafe reality would have proven it by now..it has not. after years and years of people using rebuildables and mechs...The reality is that when the equipment is used properly it is safe. There have been very few accidents and they were almost all due to user error.I have hand chisels with lamenated blades from Japan with edges sharper than a razor. and I have more fear picking one of them up than my mechs.........besides all that ...how is a rebuildable atomizer on a regulated mod in anyway dangerous...the thing won't even operate if the coils is shorting. I mean let's get honest here folks we don't even know how safe vaping ietself is there are no long term studies.

But, the OP posted his perspective, as a vape shop owner. It doesn't matter what I think of the stupid people blowing their own faces off. It doesn't matter what I think of stupid people getting themselves hurt with horses. What matters is the health of the business.

how is a rebuildable atomizer on a regulated mod in anyway dangerous.

It can be dangerous if they take it off the regulated mod and put it on a mech. The same way a good horse can be dangerous if someone puts a severe bit in it's mouth so it flips over on them and kills 'em. It's not the atty or the horse that is dangerous, it's the fuckhead using them. And, you may be sued and/or your reputation damaged because of the fuckhead, not the horse or atty.


I mean let's get honest here folks we don't even know how safe vaping ietself is there are no long term studies.

But, we are not talking about long term effects. That's a whole different animal. People are blowing their faces off now.

The OP has not made any such claim that any vape gear be outlawed outright or that you or I should not use certain devices. He simply said they are to dangerous for his business to sell without discriminating on who buys them. I agree. I discriminate when I sell a horse because of the risk. It's just good common sense.

Stop with the fucking fear mongering. No one is doing that here but you. Mec Mods are dangerous in the wrong hands regardless of what you have to say. There are many accidents never reported. How about the person who doesn't check the battery wrap. Staff can only give out the information. Once someone leaves the shop who knows what the outcome will be. My point is why gamble? To make a few bucks or satisfy a small percentage of hobbist's? There's nothing wrong with talking someone into a regulated device with a good sub tank. Remember we are not supposed to build in house anymore. Do you have any idea how many come in looking for help after buying an RTA/RBA when it doesn't fire? We sell rebuildable's as I said but only for those who ask. Never to anyone coming in and asking for a tank. Better flavor, more clouds we have it in sub-ohm. Wire, koh-gen-do we have it but anyone with 7-8-10 locations, selling Mec Mods are looking for trouble. Someone will have an accident.
Lithium rechargeable batteries are dangerous regardless of what you have to say. How about the person who puts the battery loose inside a pocket along with a bunch of coins and a set of keys? Anyone can only give out the information. What will happen after that will greatly depend on whether the information was both correct and sufficiently detailed as well as fully understood and accepted by the customer in the "terms and conditions". So if too many of your customers are having accidents that they're blaming on you, then you probably aren't trying hard enough to educate those people well because else the vast majority of those accidents would have been prevented before they happened. To stop selling an RBA or mech mod to those who appear to be unwilling to learn how to use it is one thing, but to also push away newcomers who don't act stupid is to tell them to go educate themselves someplace else, and that only makes you look foolish.

like pulse said above even a knife and fork can be dangerous in the wrong hands.

But knives and forks and dangerous tools don't have an anti group with money to bring frivolous lawsuits with the sole intent to shut down a vaping business by bankruptcy. ;)

Exploding batteries give anti groups a door that they didn't have with big tobacco. They will and are using it.

Correct. Batteries need improvment. We've had Captain's, Smok Alien's catch fire. However we did have a battery wrap that was partially torn in one of those. No we never sell clones. LOL

As I said before..in this culture of ant-vaping I would also want to absolve myself from any possible lawsiuts,I totally understand that... but I would not come out and tell people that a style of vaping which tens of thousands of people have been doing for years safely is dangerous...rather I would say openly I can't sell this or that not because they are dangerous, but because if some imbecile abuses it I may be held liable for their stupidity....and I'm not willing to take that risk....

recently a Border Patrol agent was killed by an illegal alien from Mexico with a rock......are rocks dangerous?...if you put an 18650 battery with a torn wrapper in a flashlight it will do the same thing in a flashlight than it does in a mod..are flashlights dangerous?
My concern is the old..."you know they put that stuff in anti-freeze" argument...non vapers hearing some misinformation about mech mods and then passing it off as the truth.."Oh my God that thing is a pipe bomb run run run"......knowledge is the best safegaurd....most people are not allowed on a job site not because job sites are particularly dangerous, millions of us work on them daily....it is people's ignorance of potential dangers that makes them a liability on a job site.

So? Any atomizer that can be taken off of the regulated mod can also be put on a mech and be equally, if not even far more dangerous than an RBA... the simple fact the atomizer isn't an RBA will change nothing about this... which proves my point regarding foolishness.

Even if the 510 pin isn't flush, the premade coil can still be defective causing a hard short upon first use of the coil, or become defective over the course of normal use and still cause a hard short later on─as these types of coils all use a rubber insulator that compresses as well as can melt.

I'll tell you after years of vaping I am still not super knowledable about batteries...I know enough to be safe...I buy Sony VCT5 ...I buy 30 amp batteries highest quality I can find from reputable manufacuteres......and I don't vape below .5 ohms.....if I was to get a bug up my butt and wanted to vape .2 or .15 I would take it upon myself to get alot more educated on batteries....whether or not I was using a regulated mod...as for sub-ohm tanks .....sorry... I'm not using those things. it doesn't matter what your gear is or how you use it...you need to know what the hell you're doing....what your parameters are.

yeah I've never used a premade coil, and honestly I would never do it for the exact reasons you point out...I can't see it..I don't know how it's wrapped I can pop it on an ohm meter, and if I have a regulated mod it shouldn't be able to fire, but I'm just not the trusting type.....I mean the main reason alot of us started using rebuildables were 1)quality of the vape, but 2) and more importantly the quaility control of the Chinese sucked.

Even if using a regulated mod, vaping is still dangerous. If the user chooses the wrong batteries they can start venting inside the mod. To make matters only worse, there are a lot of fake batteries out there. And the fact a regulated mod has built-in safety features can give the user a false sense of security and potentially also even stop him/her from seeing the importance of getting educated about batteries and about their safety. Those same safety features of a regulated mod aren't necessarily always reliable on top of that. With a mech mod the user doesn't need to rely on the vagueness of some Chinese chip maker. The battery heats up inside the mech mod, and, if the mech mod in question is a copper/brass/aluminum tube mod that doesn't have an insulating lining on the inside of the tube, then this heat can be felt on the outside of the mod usually long before the battery temperature can get dangerously too high... the same cannot be said about most regulated mods. Now I'm not even talking about how charging the batteries inside the regulated mod can also be dangerous, especially if the mod in question overheats during internal battery charging and or the mod overcharges the batteries too far. I vape at .11 ohms on a single VTC5A battery (not to be confused with the VTC5) in the mech all the time. But I know what I'm doing and I know stuff well enough for me to be able to keep it relatively safe enough so yeah, I completely agree the key to safety is to seek out knowledge and to act responsibly. A shop owner who blatantly refuses to educate newcomers well enough is not going to earn a lot of money from me.

Owning a shop doesn't mean shit? What it mean's is I have a few Poldiac's to sell you. LOL
Maybe 30+ years ago it did, in today's world it doesn't. Just because someone owns a shop doesn't mean jack squat. Most owners of B&M's, mechanics, etc. today hire he cheapest. Yes there are a few exceptions but they are systematically getting squeezed out, that is the sad reality.

To be brutally honest a prime example of not knowing shit is yourself with your OP.

I gave you the last word yesterday and that wasn't enough so apparently you have an out of control ego. Probably divorced once or twice and co workers can't stand you but maybe tolerate you. Maybe an alcoholic or a dry drunk. Miserable most days (how am I doing)? In any case your a $60,000 a year wonder who wants to be a player but never had any balls to try and get somewhere. Sad. Do yourself a favor kid and stop before I make you cry or kick the dog.

Read the OP again.

Title of thread. "Danger with building."

The context of his post is his first sentence which is his first post.

Retailer's place themselves in jeopardy.

The subject of his thread is Retailers. He continues with a fuller explaination in the second post.

We no longer attempt to push a customer toward RTA/RDA tanks. We do have a few in stock for experienced advanced vapor's but all in all the few we sell is hardly worth the risk. To many lawsuit's nationwide due to user error and many of these cases are do to a "bad build". We are the largest privately owned retail company in SW Florida. 80% of our staff have been with us for years. We pride ourselves on CS and product knowledge. We feel our people are as qualified to sell all devices and liquid as any company in the country. Having said that, we feel the risk reward factor by allowing someone to walk out of our store and build a coil without long term experience is a risk we are not willing to take. Manufacture's, to their credit have developed great sub-ohm tanks so as to produce great flavor without having to build a coil, to save a few dollars. We pay thousands for product liability but we are not confident that turning in a few claims, again because of user error, will cause us to close our doors if our insurance will be canceled or will be so expensive we can not afford it or worse yet, try passing the cost on to our loyal customers who could care less about HUGH CLOUDS or flavor that tastes a little better for a few more days.

You see, you are making an argument that the OP has not made. His post is clearly about the danger to his business due to user error.

I mean, you can jump on the bandwagon with everybody else but the man is 100% correct.

A bunch of self absorbed folks got their panties in a wad because they saw a title on VU that said "Danger with building" and came to the thread with a chip on their shoulder to prove the man wrong. They didn't bother to read the context of his post that is very clear.

I like him. He's right and his he's willing to call people assholes that are being assholes to him. I don't know what more you want from him. He clearly makes the case that user error is the cause of the danger. What the hell is there to disagree with? :D

I don’t think it was necessarily just a chip because it’s was posted in the builders corner which of course that’s going to attract attention from those who very much enjoy building!

so OP do you want me to move this thread somewhere else on the forum?

no wrong or right here builders enjoy discussing building in this section ordinarily

It’s no different to someone in the DIY juice section Titling the thread the dangers of making your own Juice and stating they will no longer sell supplies because.... its going to attract strong opinions from people there as well both sides of the fence :)

Discussions like that already go on in DIY section regarding pure nicotine and vendors. If a B&M owner or other vendor came in and said they would not sell pure nicoctine due to liability issues because of the dangers due to user error, then a discussion would ensue. I'm fine with pure nic, but I can see where a vendor might not want to sell it and I doubt I'd have a knee jerk reaction. The only argument that would get me riled up regarding building or DIY is a proposal that certain aspects should be illegal altogether. I'm fine with vendors that don't want to sell a product themselves. I just have to buy from someone else. :D

I posted here to get input. The only smart thing I did in 70 years was learn to listen. I wanted to hear from the other side. I didn't want to get into a pissing contest with the entire thread but as it progressed and started to get nasty with people telling me about not caring about vapors or I was concerned about money, I went on the defense. Being a Newbie as you call it I really didn't think it was FB like. In fact I signed off a few weeks ago and had no intention of coming back until the Forum came up on my email with something I couldn't keep my mouth shut about. Danger of Building got everyones attention and it got heated right away. As the thread grew I expounded on the heading. I didn't want a 3 page opening on my opinion as if I were doing a seminar.

I had fun here and there are a few nice people. I learned that my opinion about selling rebuildable's are something we will continue to do if and only if customers ask for them but never if they ask us how to build? We will never sell one to a new vapor of course nor will we bring back Mmods. Thanks for all the advice. I read everyone's post and some several times. Good vaping to all.

Yeah, because I see all the stories in news and FB about people in the hospital with sore hammer thumbs because the Antihammer Society of America is trying to shut down all hammering. You know, to save the childrens thumbs. :rolleyes:

You fucking moron, there is no Antihammer group. But there is well funded antivaping/antitobacco groups that push for lawsuits and bad press. A business owner would be a fool and a tool to not consider the legal aspect these antitobacco groups bring to the table that doesn't fucking exist when you buy a fucking hammer. Dumb ass.

Those same safety features of a regulated mod aren't necessarily always reliable on top of that. With a mech mod the user doesn't need to rely on the vagueness of some Chinese chip maker. The battery heats up inside the mech mod, and, if the mech mod in question is a copper/brass/aluminum tube mod that doesn't have an insulating lining on the inside of the tube, then this heat can be felt on the outside of the mod usually long before the battery temperature can get dangerously too high... the same cannot be said about most regulated mods. Now I'm not even talking about how charging the batteries inside the regulated mod can also be dangerous, especially if the mod in question overheats during internal battery charging and or the mod overcharges the batteries too far. I vape at .11 ohms on a single VTC5A battery (not to be confused with the VTC5) in the mech all the time. But I know what I'm doing and I know stuff well enough for me to be able to keep it relatively safe enough so yeah, I completely agree the key to safety is to seek out knowledge and to act responsibly. A shop owner who blatantly refuses to educate newcomers well enough is not going to earn a lot of money from me.
actuallky I use the VCT5A as well every since I heard Mooch's review of them...

Yep, Mooch will never let you down. I went with VTC5a's and the iJoy 26650's due to @Mooch recommendation and have been very happy.

What I've learned is always follow Mooch's recommendations you'll not only be safe but very pleased.

Yeah I went from 25R's with a few VTC4's then when I found VTC5a's that was it. I also had got a few LG browns when I was on the 25R's but like the Sammy's better, they are a work horse but the VTC5a's are by far the best 18650 batteries, excellent balance between power and life.

I know 20700's and 21700's are edging in, I actually pulled the trigger on a 20700 tube which should be in this week. I've got too much invested though in 18650 and 266650 Mod's I doubt I'll be investing much in 20700 mod's.

Read the OP again.

Title of thread. "Danger with building."

The context of his post is his first sentence which is his first post.



The subject of his thread is Retailers. He continues with a fuller explaination in the second post.



You see, you are making an argument that the OP has not made. His post is clearly about the danger to his business due to user error.

I mean, you can jump on the bandwagon with everybody else but the man is 100% correct.

A bunch of self absorbed folks got their panties in a wad because they saw a title on VU that said "Danger with building" and came to the thread with a chip on their shoulder to prove the man wrong. They didn't bother to read the context of his post that is very clear.

I like him. He's right and his he's willing to call people assholes that are being assholes to him. I don't know what more you want from him. He clearly makes the case that user error is the cause of the danger. What the hell is there to disagree with? :D
Time! hold up you cantankerous old firebrand....I've only said about 3 times at the very least... I totally understand where he is coming from, and I may very well do the same thing as he has done under the current ant-vaping climate.,However ..However I encourage people to educate themselves as quickly and and as well as possible to be able to vape without buying premade coils or being restricted to sub-ohm tanks and regulated mods.and to let them know the technology is safe when used properly..any of this stuff regulated mods, tanks, rbas,mechs can all be abused and result in boom...and all of them are safe when used properly. I must have watched 30 youtube videos on building a set up before I bought my first rba, and vaped on my own coils for 6 months at like 1.2 ohms before I built a subohm coil of a whopping .8....unfortunately now every dipshit comes into vaping with only one question....how do I get bigger clouds than that guy on youtube....and where can I buy some dual alien coils....if I had my way all new vapers would be issued rebuildables and spools of 30 gauge wire for the first 6 months of vaping and an ohm meter...and only single wire coils buckoos.

as far as I can tell the 20700 and 21700 are for low sub ohmers they can handle a high power drain, but they don't seem to have a particularlly high mah rating...as the lowest I vape is .5 or.6 I'm not sure they'd do me much good.

VTC5a's are 25a and 2600 mAh, that's well within the range for me to Vape. The iJoy 26650's are 30a and around 4000 mAh so with my Stable of Mech's I only have a mild curiosity of the 20700 and 21700 Mod's. That and until there is a good consistent supply of those batteries it'll remain that way.

I agree with that. Even the cantankerous part. :D

I had fun here and there are a few nice people. I learned that my opinion about selling rebuildable's are something we will continue to do if and only if customers ask for them but never if they ask us how to build? We will never sell one to a new vapor of course nor will we bring back Mmods. Thanks for all the advice. I read everyone's post and some several times. Good vaping to all.
Good riddance!
LOL.

Yeah, because I see all the stories in news and FB about people in the hospital with sore hammer thumbs because the Antihammer Society of America is trying to shut down all hammering. You know, to save the childrens thumbs. :rolleyes:

You fucking moron, there is no Antihammer group. But there is well funded antivaping/antitobacco groups that push for lawsuits and bad press. A business owner would be a fool and a tool to not consider the legal aspect these antitobacco groups bring to the table that doesn't fucking exist when you buy a fucking hammer. Dumb ass.
But you're forgetting hammers are now also considered dangerous vaping products because they can be used to flatten resistance wire, that, in turn, can be used for the mirror finish coil build. Remember coil building is too dangerous (that is, for an imbecile like you). :rolleyes:

This is my very first own coil build... 2nd picture is how it looks now, as I've kept it for a souvenir─and to make a political statement about liberty. I made this with my own hands and Squidoode's brains after only 4 weeks of vaping.

The 5-legged iJoy 20700 (not to be confused with the 4-legged version) is also a true 30A battery. There has already been being a good consistent supply of it for the past half year or so, and, despite it is a rewrap of the Molicel 20700 battery, it is still the same battery and the performance is exactly the same... other rewraps of this same battery are ones by Efest/Ampking/EBAT/EnerCig/Keeppower/Vappower.

I picked up the 2JNT Supremo, it's a 20700 tube. Only decent Mooch recommend battery I could get is the eFest which is (per Mooch) is the same battery as the iJoy. I'm seriously not impressed with the battery. It doesn't hit anywhere as good as the VTC5a's and I really can't tell much improvement in battery life.

I'm going to stick with 18650 Mod's until a 20700 battery performs at least as good as the VTC5a's.

Like I have explained in another thread not too long ago, the iJoy 5-legged 20700 only really shines in a dual series mech IMHO. Another thing about this battery is that it is a 30 amp battery so you can build at lower ohms compared to the VTC5A─in order to compensate for the fact the 20700 doesn't hit as hard... thereby offering different coil building options to explore (not necessarily always better ones, but still).

On a dual series mech (i.e. on my brass Vaperz Cloud XXX equipped with the separately sold extension tube as well as with the separately sold bottom section that uses the newer Comp-S switch as opposed to using the older VC Tech switch) at .28 ohms─dual coil fused claptons using Kanthal cores─I can vape on the iJoys pretty much all day without me having to change the batteries. This cannot be said about using dual VTC5A in this same setup by using the accompanying 18650 plastic adapter sleeves. Also note that different rewrap companies can use different grades of batteries so... same battery, different grade = slightly different performance. Efest have been notorious in the past for having lower grades and then selling them at above average prices, albeit they have bettered themselves according to Mooch. Lower grades are not rejects, but they perform a little worse so then why should we be paying extra.

Here's a quick/dirty picture of the .28 ohms coil build that I am referring to... I have it in my Purge Mods Head Shot RDA:
