Let's stir a little ;-)

Apparently it is a true story, he did however use unsafe batteries as well as built his own coils without knowledge of ohm's law. This is based on what was shared with others :
I don't Know if Nico van Rooyen is on this forum, he has been spending a lot of time trying to kill this fire and might have some more insight.
Its curious though, people make use of cars every single day. In 2013 there were 1.25million deaths on the road internationally. You don't see people driving less do they? In fact, car sales have gone up by 8.1% from 2013 to 2016.
Its what you make if it, if you drive like a chop, you will one day be part of those stats, similarly, if you vape irresponsibly, you will also join some new statistics that will one day be the cause of vaping being over taxed and ridiculously expensive.
Vape safe and everybody wins

The emerging evidence from people that know the guy is that his equipment was wrong. My opinion is that if this guy asked for guidance other than google, he might not be in this kind of situation. This should be investigated with someone who is a vaping expert as a consultant before the rumors overshadow the facts. I can already see the headlines "Is your child playing with explosives, if they are vaping they might as well be" "Is vaping as dangerous as playing with a grenade?" "Man had his face blown off by vaping" "There are many ways to loose teeth, vaping is one of them" "Vaping is more dangerous than smoking, here's why...."
The problem is that this story will mainly be shared be non-vapors, naive parents and those that thrive on this sort of drama. The problem with that is the people sharing will not be able to comment from a vaping stand point and thus the wrong information will be spread. They will not know what responsible vaping entails and will rather focus on the gore and fear mongering.
Guys I just poped on fb and my feed was over run by videos of exploding mods what's going on?.And the guy who's sharing these vids iz a smoker hell ime so thankfully for vapeing it got met of stinkies.I rather spend my cash on vape stuff than wasting it on nonsense now some one that's a ignorant little ant wants to make the one good thing in my life as a HUGE DANGER this really really anger's me.
I think that this is why the vape community is pushing for regulated mods. As more and more "quick cash"companies are buying into the vape movement and selling junk mods that are dangerous, the more exploding devices there will be. Most of these events can be traced back to bad batteries or faulty "custom" mods. The focus should be on the devices or the poor maintenance of them but people like to blame before getting to the source. This is going to damage vaping and I personally am waiting for a call from my mother warning me about the dangers of vaping she saw on Facebook.
People aren't as misinformed as they was a few years ago. True vapers wil know the truth about what really happened and it is there/your jobs to inform those out there that do not know. Those that are sharing this stuff and saying that they are going to stop vaping and that smoking is safer/beter always was haters, uninformed and never was going to stop smoking and start vaping...
In the light of the recent events:
I've decided to open a Depo for safe disposal of your's unwanted vape gear. Safe and responsible recycling is guaranteed
For further details please send me a message.
To Mr. Andrew Hall:
Wishes for a speedy recovery and for a love of God please STOP procreating.

Eish, Mooch. Just eish. Urging people to not share this because more people will find out about it and then the FDA will end up using it against vaping? That is the equivalent of an internal Ford email in which a manager urges staff to not share any stories about Kugas burning "because we don't want our customers to find out about this". It's not going to go down well. Of course, it's not what Mooch is saying. But the FDA are lawyers. Taking what people say, twisting it and using it against them is what they specialise in. If the FDA used Mooch's post in a Congressional hearing, they wouldn't use the whole thing. This is the part they'd quote:
How is that going to sound to a committee of Congressmen who have convened to hear evidence on whether vaping should be allowed to regulate itself? We don't have to meekly comply with what the FDA are doing. But let's at least not give them ammunition.

Yes, an article has been written by the dailymail (not the most trustworthy site but anyway)

Yes according to the news article:

Next time he should take a toaster in the bath tub with him.

This is the best response I have seen....
Update and equipment. Does anyone know enough to comment on whether his build was correct?
The pics dont add up, they appear to be of at least 2 separate incidents in multiple rooms. Also the long black soot mark down the left side of his face doesnt make sense to me. This looks really fake!
Build is irrelevant, he took hybrid mech to the bathroom " getting ready for work". Mod gets wet he pulls a drag and shorts it out. Lithium in presenece of water release hydrogen and more heat. Explosion of that magnitude could have been caused only by hydrogen ignition.
In short, man is a moron.
we'll probably never get the real, full & final facts regarding build.
But... definitely puts me off buying clone mechs (I was contemplating it). Gonna save and buy a NC from a reliable local vendor rather.

BS. That amount of shrapnel and no lacerations to the face, but it knocked out seven of his teeth, oh and then it had enough force to ricochet from his teeth and face to break the basin.
