I have to take umbridge with you final paragraph.

Spit hot liquid? Never heard, seen or experienced that.

Any electrical device has the potential to explode. Even more so if it was in someones pocket.

How about take less umbridge and google VAPE SPIT HOT LIQUID, I don't even vape and I had heard it.


It's clear you got nicked not for the offence but for failing the attitude test.

I have, and that talks about people getting a few droplets of hot liquid on their tongue when vaping. Usually from not priming of equipment correctly when you change the coil etc.

Wasn't "nicked" at all. Given a verbal NIP. Didn't fail the attitude test at all, as was polite and cooperative.

But each to their own opinion.

That's fair enough, your entitled to your opinion.

Only reciting what was stated at the time. I have no reason to alter or modify the actual account.

The six months is not his opinion, it's the law.

Not in the same way that a lithium cell can, especially with the number of fake 18650 cells currently on the market. Most people won't fork out for a genuine good quality cell, not when the fake cells are available at less than £5 for 4.

You short circuit one of these, or over charge one of these and your going to have a fireball on your hands.

I didn't say it was the officers opinion, I said that to the poster I was quoting.

As I also said to him, I am only relaying what the officer said to me at the time.

That's fair enough, same with a lot of electrical goods if you cut corners and buy the cheapest.

I was using a Totally wicked Arc - So from a leading and genuine supplier.

Even though the law does allow for up to 6 months for the relevant paperwork to be received, in the large majority of cases this happens well within a couple of weeks so when the officer stated that the OP would receive something with 14 days, they were probably talking from experience.

In reality it's no different to returning faulty goods to a retailer for a refund.
The law states that a refund must be given within 14 days but in most cases it happens far quicker than this so is a retailer wrong if they tell a customer that they will get their refund "in a couple of days"?

Could you please direct us to official data that proves what you say is the case?

14 days has nothing to do with this particular circumstance.

From experience with family & friends who had similar as this thread then it was rarely sooner, if ever, acted upon for months.

I don't think you quite appreciate how dangerous lithium cells can be. It's probably the most dangerous commonly available consumer grade item you can buy. I'd rather be in a room with a faulty 2000W mains heater, than in a room with a faulty lithium cell, i've experiened car battery explosions that throw shards of plastic and hot acid everywhere, but at least there's no fireball with those.

Why would I need to quote official data?
Did you miss the part of my post that stated "they were probably talking from experience"
