"Battery awareness is key. Because the devices sap so much energy, users carry and switch out batteries often. Some keep the battery units in their pockets, sometimes with coins, keys and other metals. When clanked against one another, the metals can cause an electrical short and subsequent explosion, Story says.
A simple and inexpensive solution would be to store the units in plastic cases, available now for just pennies, Story says. Such a practice would eliminate most explosions, he says. Instead, he fears horror stories over pocket fireworks could cause unnecessary federal crackdowns and hurt access to vaping products.
But in the Bushnell situation, a plastic case would not have helped Ellington, says attorney Chapman. Though he declined to provide detail, Chapman says of Story's metal-on-metal trigger, "What he's describing is not consistent with what happened."
Well from what "Court documents allege" that seems to be exactly what they are suing over:
"Court documents allege Vapers 6 was negligent in selling Ellington a Chinese-made vape device without ensuring adequate quality control and for failing to warn Ellington about proper storage methods for a risky lithium-ion battery."

"According to the court filing, on Sept. 25, 2016, a lithium-ion Efest battery within a Chinese Sigelei Spark Mod vaping device caught fire while the device was stored in Ellington's pocket. The device exploded and caused "substantial" burns to his hands, legs and groin area."
I don't think for one second that a Regulated Sigelei Mod just exploded for no reason in this dudes pocket.
Here is my opinion of what happened:
1) Dipshit vaper carries mod in pocket, Mods battery door opens and battery comes into contact with change and/or keys
2) Dipshit Vaper thinks battery looks "cooler" without wrap or wrap is in really bad shape but Dipshit Vaper is too stupid to care.
3) Dipshit Vaper had loose battery in pocket with change and/or keys then lies to lawyer about said Vapers stupidity in order to get paid.
The Fake News media has people believing that any mod can just explode for no reason whatsoever.
Can you guys think of any other reason a fully regulated device would just explode for no reason at all?
I know one thing:
MODS WILL NOT EXPLODE IN YOUR POCKET IF YOU DO NOT CARRY MODS IN YOUR FUCKING POCKET!!! - 5150
