Man dies in Thailand after vape explodes in his face, causing severe mouth & chest injuries

[win_man]

Another Thailand rubbish news. They think readers are dumb. If you say suffer burns all that i believe.

How it explode?

Bad battery. Operating vapes really stress out a battery. You're heating a rhigh resistance wire red hot by dead shorting a lithium battery.

If the battery is poor quality or damaged, this is a trigger scenario for it to pop dramatically.

Rubbish news. They think readers are dumb. If you say suffer burns all that i believe.

There are plenty of published cases worldwide tho. Mobile phones with similar power supplies have killed by proximity explosion too.

You think this might be a government op ed to suppress vape culture?

 

[CaptchaCheebeh]

Wah lan eh batteries cannot be trusted nowadays

 

[weiess]

idk.. sound like csb leh..

 

[oddbasket]

Occurence too low, hope there can be a larger sample size to deter people from vaping

 

[Lchlch]

I think the first case involving vapes that exploded.

 

[Lchlch]

Hope not happen in spore

No. Not the first, won't be the last.
The guy was suay that it was in his mouth when it decided to go.

Will it happen in spore?
Many probably still vaping secretly.

The batteries used in vapes are lithium polymer 18650 cells or gel packs. Vapes require unregulated cells because of the immense power draw, and lower quality or damaged cells have the potential to pop.

This fellow probably inhaled superheated gas.

does the current draw exceed portable fans?
many ppl use unbranded fans.

Literally vaping a time bomb

Yes way more.

Generally speaking for peak load.

Vape = Portable "hobbyist" cutting laser > High powered torchlight > Portable fan

The newly trending portable fans are just high RPM brushless motors you might find on a power tool or vaccum cleaner repackaged to move air. The load profile is docile.

Probablity says "eventually".
Same probability also says aliens will eventually come.

The quality of vape BMS has probably gone up over time since we don't hear of them popping like celebratory firecrackers so often.

But winning the lottery is a thing.

Just like pmd, all chiong types...

 

[Reborn]

like tat can be used as grenade alternative?

those pma pmd even more powerful, can burn the whole flat

PMD motors are another super high peak load scenario. Usually it is the ESC that lets go under load tho. Switching peak loads and handling all that back EMF is nuts.

The batteries more likely to pop during charging or after physical insult.

It is not unusual for a small battery pack to supply 100 to 200 amps in acceleration phase for a high performance PMD.

At least he died doing what he like.

Till now government still monitoring on pmd?
Still don't mandate ban.

Yes in a way....if we look at this angle.
