 I plumped up the courage and bought myself a starter kit from that well known discount pound store and its fine lol
Still in the the beta testing stage ie I'm still mixing the vaping with smoking but I think in a few days I'll be able to stop smoking and move completely over to vaping
Its funny one of the things I was a bit nervous about was the flavour of the juice so ended up by getting 3 fruit twist, cola and cherry, and found the first one the fruit twist was really nice and not bothered with the others lol Its great my room smells of a nice sweet aroma and much better
So once again thanks to all those who gave advice x

"I went straight onto vape from tobacco a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Once you're happy with a few flavours and you're on it full time it's well worth shelling out £30-50 on a bigger machine. I used to have to recharge my pen vape half way through the day, but I get at least a day and a half on the Fumytech I have, and the coils are a lot cheaper. Also, make sure you clean it, or replace the clearomiser regularly or it'll taste grim!! Check out Vampire Vape juices, sherbet lemon is a favourite of mine!! But I'm really not keen on the tobacco flavours. The menthol based ones are pretty reliable, I used to go to a guy that made a cracking Mojito flavour... but he's gone out of business "I like their Vamp Toes. And Pinkman. I haven't tried the sherbert lemon; I might bung it on the list next time. | |||

MrWho."Unfortunately that guy that blew up was a fool . If you are using a regulated device ie its has a digital display it is safer.If you start using a mechanical mod (youtube it) it has no protectio for the battery therefore you need a fundamental understanding of ohms law and bstteries. My advice is to go into a vape shop for guidance . Dont beleive all the hype with these idiots blowing themselves up . I was smoking 30 a day and switched to vaping and I am cig free for 3 years Vape safe | |||

Vape safe"I'm a mechanical mod user but I know ohms law and have researched by batteries. I have full knowledge of how to build my coils and how to service my mechs. The guy who blew his teeth out (allegedly) didn't understand any of it. I disagree with going to the vape shop for advice a lot of the time. Most of the people who work there only have a basic understanding of how regulated devices work and will happily tell you that Efest batteries are safe to buy and use (they're not!). There's also a lot of speculation that the whole story has been faked by either a tobacco company or pharmaceutical company as there's no burns on the guys hands. A battery in thermal failure inside a metal tube reaches over 600? in around a second and his hands would be a mess. | |||

See thats just not something i'd want near my face.
Our of curiosity rhough which batteries do you use? "Once you factor voltage drop into the equation it's probably a little less but I always work from the highest possible draw from any given build. I use Sony VTC4 and VTC5a or LGHB6 18650 batteries. The amp ratings on 18650 batteries is for continuous discharge, vapers use pulse discharge, so long as you don't hold the button down for more than 5 - 10 seconds and give the battery 30 seconds between pulses you shouldn't have an issue with excess heat causing a runaway. Most accidents are caused by hard shorts either due to a poor build or damage to the battery wrap shorting against the body of the mod. The other common cause is the wrong type of battery. Something with a 3000mah capacity isn't going to be suitable forbids in a mech because outright performance isn't what their internal chemistry can handle (they have a much higher internal resistance and get hot). | |||

"The pictures show that both the RDA and button assembly blown off and the sleeve on the tube completely melted. An 18650 in thermal runaway reaches 600 degrees + in a second or two so bus hands would have been burned at the very least. It's also said he was using an LG HB2 battery with a 0.06ohm build (that's 70amps being drawn from a battery that can handle a maximum of 30amp pulses) and his mech hadn't been cleaned since he'd had it (you're supposed to clean the threads and contacts at least once a week and he'd had his for over a year apparently). Whatever the truth behind the story it's definitely a case of user error which is usually the case when this kind of thing happens. | |||

"He was using a mech mate. It's just a metal tube (usually copper of brass) with a magnetic or spring loaded button at one end, no electronics or safeguards. Many of them have battery venting holes at the bottom but most people put the battery in positive up (an 18650 always vents from the positive). The gasses can't escape fast enough because the battery usually swells and boom. | |||

But ive seen aerospace sized packs of lithium battaries go up and industrial packs explode when damaged and that put the fear of god into me about them. Its rhe fact they dont jist sublime and explode but partially boil the components so you get explosion and hot gas+hot liquid which just makes the potential burns that much worse. I know youve seen worse tom but as a civvy i think lipo/lion battaries are worrying things. | |||

You're incorrect. Mech mods were the very first vaping devices available (well, vaping as we know it today at least bud its been around since the mid 60's). It's only been in the last few years that devices with chips and electronic safeguards have become available. I prefer mechs as a rule because I enjoy the nerdy science element involved and I also find different flavour notes from my liquids as the battery drops from 4.2v to around 3.6v and the wattage decreases as a result. Fair play! Looks like I've been misinformed lol Most people are misinformed when it comes to vaping and there's plenty of people out there ready to capitalize on that fact (Efest and Trustfire batteries for example)." Not sure if suitable for vaping but for general 18650 use buy an anker 20100 power bank for 20 quid. Open it up and you have 6 high quality panasonic 18650 inside | |||

But foe £24 I can get 4 brand new Sony VTC4 batteries which can handle my low builds with (relative) safety. | |||

This is exactly why I stick to my regulated mods I just don't know enough about mechs and things along those lines! Got my eleaf ipower and have never felt the need to upgrade | |||

"I went straight onto vape from tobacco a couple of years ago and haven't looked back. Once you're happy with a few flavours and you're on it full time it's well worth shelling out £30-50 on a bigger machine. I used to have to recharge my pen vape half way through the day, but I get at least a day and a half on the Fumytech I have, and the coils are a lot cheaper. Also, make sure you clean it, or replace the clearomiser regularly or it'll taste grim!! Check out Vampire Vape juices, sherbet lemon is a favourite of mine!! But I'm really not keen on the tobacco flavours. The menthol based ones are pretty reliable, I used to go to a guy that made a cracking Mojito flavour... but he's gone out of business "Vampire vapes are lush, pink man and red energy and strawberry kiwi. I have a couple of tanks, so I can change flavour without re filling and swapping wicks and stuff. | |||

"There's a nice picture circulating on the net, a guy missing half his teeth and a hole in his cheeck after his vape thingy apparently exploded in his mouth...
Because he didn't know how to use his device safely (I could go into great detail as to why and how but shall refrain because it's dreadfully nerdy and requires understanding of ohms law and safe discharge of batteries).
It's also likely that the story is a fake being circulated by a pharmaceutical company
Note the lack of damage to his hand!
Yup. 600? and an explosion yet his hands are uninjured? Doesn't add up at all."Blast follows the least line of resistance, that's why they used to tell us to hold detonators like a ciggerette between two fingers (how you were supposed to do that and tape the little fucker to the det cord saddle I have no idea) but I assumed he'd had it on charge and a dodgy cheep battery from China like the ones that explode on hover boards. The leftys used to do batteries set up to go pop and leave them in fur coat pockets. But looking at that guys face it looks more like a fire work. I would of expected an exploding big batttery to drive the tank and rest of it into his mouth and do a lot more. Plus side would be a split snake tonge though | |||
