I've heard worse horror stories.

As a kind of segue into the humorous side of vaping I'm going to share this video below.

Lmao I been sucessufull at drawing a 250w draw for 2seconds or a pulse draw on a .11 ohm build with a rdta got the Rx 300 my max I can comfortably have its 150w on an rdta 115 w on an rta anything higher than 13o it's too hot dry hits n flash over RDA can only handle 85w before instadry

Never heard of any mods melting a delrin tip before...might want to get something more durable?

I have had a tip melt into a velocity RDA with the 510 adapter once- I forgot to lock a mech mod, and put it down, and left without realising. It was completely my fault, but when I got back there was scorch marks all over the mod, the drip tip melted, and the battery wrap had melted away too. No vent though luckily.

Doesn't your mod have a time out? Mine does. Pretty stupid for a device that heats things up to not have a time out protector! Der times 10 to its manufacturer!

Happened to me a long time ago with my velocity v1.. it was in my pocket reached in burned my hand with molten drip tip. Cleaned it up and stuck in the 510 drip tip adapter and it still works to this day.. I pitched the mod..

Safer is not "Safe", just less risky than less safe. Had that been a mech mod in your cup holder and the fire button stuck.. you would have had a fire, not just a melted drip tip.

Some mods let you change and even completely disable the timeout.

Wish I remembered, I was just watching random review videos and thinking it wasn't that great an idea.
Well there really is no reason to disable auto shut off. Anything that needs to be fired for more than 10 seconds to heat, is a coil that needs to be rebuilt. My avg draw is about 1.5 to 2.5 seconds, with a 1 second prepuff to heat up. Even mouth to lung i only managed about 7 seconds. But you are right, even if you can disable this on some, it is not safe.. it could auto fire, heat the atomizer, ignite the cotton.. and anything else near by

LMFAO I did the same thing just last night. Melted the drip tip. I had to inspect the battery (it didnt vent) and mod, and atomizer. Only issue was melted drip tip. (and I have spares that came with it :p )

And THIS is why we only recommend top grade, samsung, sony and lg batteries!!!! Fire button was on about 30 seconds.. or the time it takes to pee.

This could easily happen, especially in the cupholder of a moving car. If it is resting on the fire button, but the car is moving and the mod is bouncing off the button slightly. Then the mod will be constantly firing for a few seconds, then bouncing off the fire button, then back on for a few seconds, then back off for a second or two. This has happened to me before with a regulated mod. Luckily I only got fried cotton and not a melted drip tip.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!
