i didn't like the shiny one because often it says "atomizer low" idk why. i don't want to get bombed by terrorists but i really need to smoke! so what do i do now

Huh, didn't know Samsung made e-cigars.

Ciomalau did this really warrant a thread on gog? I know there are a few e-cig sites you could make a thread at.

some days ago i told you i derep you good - that was the one and only time i derp you en masse ok? i want to make piss.. err? piece! damn! piss on peace ok? you know what i mean... so what are your "conditions" for peace hm? but my logic says that whenever a user writes "this blown in my face" on a thread, the moderators would insta-kill that guy right? it's bad for business

Not necessarily, but you arent likely to get relevant or useful or even helpful answers from here

I heard about this early this morning... Nasty...

It just seems the newer 'better/newer/cleaner tech' somehow usually ends up far worse than the 'simple solution' tech we have used for thousands of years.

Were his last words "WHOA HOOOOO" ?

Old news, reports of this kind have been around for years. There have also already been some studies, in Poland some organisation (don't remember which exactly) studying causes of fires concluded that the vast majority of exploding batteries are caused by overcharging, modding and using chargers not specifically meant for electric cigarettes and also stated that in their experience the risks are almost non-existent with responsible use. Most importantly you should avoid overcharging and it's a huge no-no to charge via the USB port of a PC or something. And surprise, the report you linked to also mentioned that the guy modded his battery.

They also observed that even though no legal standards have been established yet for the manufacturers to minimise risks and dangers of exploding batteries, the batteries have been designed in a comparably safe manner all along, with most of the energy being discharged away from the user (and I'm not sure a single case of an e-cigarette exploding in someone's face has been lethal - there have been some deaths due to fires caused by them, though). Also most news reports about exploding cigarettes I've read usually mentioned that chargers meant for other devices were the cause. The sole fact that you are still allowed to take electric cigarettes on air planes while many airlines banned the Note 7 should be comforting.

On a related note: I propose to call users of e-cigarettes "vapists".

Gives the "Joint Strike Operation" the whole new meaning..

You could just stop smoking. Problem solved and those who don't won't have to put up with your filth.

I was a heavy smoker for fifteen years, and I was so addicted, I even smoked during chemo.

HOWEVER I am also a very weak person with little to no willpower, and yet I quit, cold turkey.

My point? Fuck em. If they can't break the habit then they deserve whatever is coming to them.

I hate the whole electronic cigarettes thing. I don't mind people smoking, even though I don't smoke and never have, but if you want to smoke, at least smoke the real things and look normal, not like a moron unseccesfully trying to play a miniature flute.

And yes, I know this is entirely irrational on my part, but everyone is allowed their pet peeves.

See i might just be behind the times, but if im gonna get cancer again id like it to be one that is known and stuff, smoking causes cancer, yup. There is strong evidence that ecigs cause it too, question is, is it the same kinda of cancer already known or is it going to be something new that no-one knows how best to treat?

When I quit i will quit until then I will not substitute smoking for pretend smoking
