Good news bad news

I believe it was an IMR 18650, it wasn't in a mod. It was a spare for later. GC has the battery, I'll get it back and have it analyzed.


You meant it just exploded by itself with no source of heat or spark in your pocket. That's kind of strange!
 
I think I had read in the past that the chance of this happening to any given lithium ion battery is like 1 in 10,000,000.

That sucks and hopefully you recover quickly man.
 
Damn, sorry to hear that Mark :/

That's some terribad luck from a vape pen. You may want to contact a lawyer if you haven't, especially if you'll be out of work for a bit from this.
 
Was the battery in your pocket with keys or coins, without a case by any chance?
Nope and I have had them short out on keys and such before and it was nothing like this at all.

When they short out on keys or what ever you have 7-15 seconds of heating before they fry. This one just exploded and started blowing superheated material out.

Oh wow. That's crazy! Usually that's the common cause of them blowing up (when shorting out), and sometimes from flushed atomizer positive pins when using on mechanical mods. But your experience is very rare. Maybe a really bad battery cells.
 
Hoping and praying things are getting better Mark. Any updates?
Yea, it's funny. I can get all the hydrocodone I want, or at lest till I'm too stoned to ask for anymore but I have been waiting 2 hrs to get approval for me to take ibuprofen.

See, I'm on 2 hydrocodone and my pain is about a 3-4 and I'm thinking 600 mg ibuprofen would put me at a 1-2.

Then I ask for. Sumatriptan (imitrex) because I feel a migraine commingled on and the computer announces that I'm allergic to it.

I'm starting to believe the whole "pharmaceutical mistakes kill more people than guns" argument.
 
They’re talking about discharging me today and I’m a little worried about that because I can’t perform wound care without injected painkillers. It just hurts too freaking much and the oral pain killers don’t bring it down enough. Even with dilaudid it it still hurts like hell. I do need to get the hell out of here have a contract that if I don’t keep the wounds clean it can be real problems.
 
Hello Mark,
Very sorry to read. I hope you get better soon. I have heard of this happening before to othes. Someone should be doin a PSA announcement over this as many use vape pens these day. in the mean time I am thinking of that song....great balls of fire..lol.
