"He bought a Chinese-made lithium-ion battery from the Vapor Spot on Nov. 9, the suit states. The Munstro Mod e-cigarette was manufactured and sold by the Vapor Spot, the suit states."

Anyone care to take a look at the mods 510 connection and guess what happened? - 5150

I am amazed at how many of these reports are coming out.
I don't get how people can not take the time to learn about safety!
Before I even considered vaping, I went to do all the research I could possibly do to make sure I was not only making a good choice but also make sure I did not have these kind of accidents. I'm sorry but I don't understand how suing someone over your own actions is reasonable at all.

I'm not surprised one bit. Mechs are not for beginners, especially hybrid mechs. The closest I will ever use to a hybrid is a ProVari with P3 threading and Kabuki tank, and I'm not a new vaper.
Kids these days simply want to blow clouds for cheap, so these cases will become more and more prevalent, until Congress steps in...

This is the part that I hate.
It should not have to come to congress stepping in but when we can't do the job ourselves I guess this is the price we pay!?

Vape shops without morals buy these cheap e cigs in bulk and can sell them cheap and still make a good profit. Vapers go in and want a complete set up for $25, because all they want to do is blow clouds like their friends, but not spend the money on safe equipment. I don't see this ever changing, short of laws being passed restricting mods to being regulated devices, or enough shops getting sued out of existence...

Sad but true and unfortunately I have to agree.
