Hey Guys and Girls,
I just made this account as this happened to me yesterday and im not sure where to go with it or who I could contact from iJOY.
I was on the couch at home heading to the gym in half an hour playing on my laptop.
My partner came in the room and we were talking I could smell something, I asked her had she used a hair straightener? she hadn't, I smelled my laptop thinking it was that and it wasn't, then I saw a wisp of what looked like smoke or vape coming up from my pocket and I thought I had leant on the fire button, I reached into my pocket and pulled it out via the tank.
As I pulled it out of my pocket I noticed the tank was cold, as I pulled it out I saw it glowing around the seal on the back of the screen near the top, I thought a battery had shorted out (near new perfect condition 20700 batteries ijoy) I ran through the house smoke pouring off the vape now and launched it out the back door off the verandah into the back yard!
After calling my dog off what he thought might be a thrown toy I gave it a few minutes and walked out to see what had happened, it had melted from behind the screen side and melted through the battery tray and burnt the side of one of the batteries.
I have the device and photos but was wondering who I should contact about this.
Ive been vaping a few years instead of cigarettes and bought many different devices and have never had anything like this happen, Im glad the battery didn't blow up or it melt through my pants I luckily had tracksuit pants on to workout and had changed from my swimming shorts which have mesh pockets that would have melted though and burnt me with melted plastic before I noticed.
Im pretty pissed about it and have quit vaping as of yesterday.
Any Ideas would be appreciated, sorry for the long winded story!
Thanks
