Not Smoking Causes Fatal Accident

Aren't E-Cigarettes supposed to be heat/coal free? As in....drop it and it won't burn you or catch your car on fire??? Let it sit til you stop.

 

E cigs uses heat to vaporize tobacco to finer micron than ordinary cigarettes, making you impacted via the lungs way faster and harder.

Once in a while batteries fail on them and they burn.

 

He certainly got one.

 

Not quite......they use an atomizer to vaporize e- liquid that also contains an amount of nicotine......the liquid is a combination of propylene glycol, and vegetable glycerin......these "chemicals" are found in ketchup, inhalers, salad dressing, toothpaste, antifreeze among others......non toxic and long since approved by FDA for consumption......

 

As far as battery failure goes , there is a great risk IF the user tampers with the OHmS performance to such a degree as to cause unintentional thermal release from the lithium batteries......examples would be if a vape mod was coupled with a "handwound" or user- made RDA buildable deck......atomizer and the equation for proper OHMS was miscalculated.......

 

Dropping a ciggarette isn't as alarming as spilling a steaming hot or icy cold drink.

A truck stop hot dog isn't a big deal, but a pulled port or brisket sandwich hitting the floor is akin to the end of the world senerio.

 

I've had this situation happen to me several times with my e-cig and this is exactly what I did with the exact same thought process. Seems rather simple. Hard for me to grasp why Mr. Voelker didn't come to the same conclusion. One time I was niccing pretty bad and had dropped my e-cig in the truck while driving I-285 Northbound in good ol' Atlanta traffic. Pulled my ### right over to the shoulder before I even considered looking around for it while rolling

 

No excuse. That section of road is 4 lanes (2 each way) with a good size shoulder. Sad, because the guy died and the nearly 80 year old tractor he was driving (1960 MF) is trashed. Trucker is charged with "failure to reduce speed", which is crap. If he had dropped his cell phone, he'd be strung up by the nuts. Distracted driving is distracted driving, and it shouldn't matter if it was a cell phone or an e-cig...he allowed himself to be distracted, and he killed somebody.
