I woke up to a terrific article this morning…
Vaping device cause of fire that sent hundreds of passengers, TSA agents running at Denver airport
Fire investigators say the device’s exposed lithium-ion battery likely made contact with conductive materials in the bag, causing the battery to create a “dead short.” The short caused the battery to heat up combustible materials within the bag, leading to the fire.
Please… EVERYONE!! Take battery safety seriously. It only takes one small mistake or moment of carelessness to affect the entire vaping industry.
DO NOT carry vaping device batteries unprotected!!
- Use a battery box.
- Use a silicone sleeve.
- Buy from a reputable company who provides these with your purchase.
It’s a very cheap investment to protect you, those around you, and the industry as a whole. Here are PLENTY of examples:
DON’T BE THE CAUSE OF MORE NEGATIVE PRESS FOR THE VAPING INDUSTRY!
EDUCATE YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU!
And to vape shops as well. Take the time to educate those buying batteries and devices!!
We are going to talk more about this on the next Smoker’s Show coming Tuesday March 6th when we will have Battery Mooch on as our very special guest.
