1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    ouch.... I have to say I haven't had even the slightest issue with mine and I surely hope that never happens but that could just as easily happen with any board if it malfunctions. Definitely a reminder to not leave it charging unattended

    What were the circumstances surrounding this...was he vaping, charging or was the mod just sitting there and blew up?

    It always seems that these accidents happen when someone is subohming...never to someone with a pleasant 1.4 ohm build.

    I would feel safer using any board that isn't Chinese... but us cheap bastards have to vape on something

    Well-written article...good reporting and a balanced viewpoint. The lack of sensationalism is refreshing.

    "This year, Chinese manufacturers are expected to ship more than 300 million e-cigarettes to countries around the world, where they will reach the shelves of department stores, 7-Elevens, gas station outlets and vaping shops."

    Thank you Glenn! I love this information because I want to check myself if I am doing the right thing!

    This is why I keep telling myself not to buy any clones, juices, batteries and mods from China!

    Sometimes I also get drawn into it because it is so cheap!

    At the moment I am buying all my juices directly from the source, so no more fooling around with juices that are made in Asia!

    Mods I only get if they are proven to be good, no Chinese mods anymore!

    Only my atty supply is not what it should be! I am trying to get this in order...

    And the batteries I am also working on, and I will order them through the most trusted direct source!
    **Updated**
    I think I read other information than you did!

    Isn't it horrible if you can get these horrible products at your local 7Eleven and to support an industry that doesn't have your health as the number one priority!
