BigXor really hit the nail on the head here. The one and only reason we decided to carry the VP units in the store was the safety. At the time nobody had really thought about it but us. We knew some day this would happen. Which is why we have never carried any other custom unit. When Jeso first created the VP units he was one of the first mod creators to use protected batteries. He also designed the units to turn only 1 1/2 threads. So in the event that a user with a death wish decided to either A. Use none protected batteries or B. Mix and match charged and uncharged batteries, there would be room for the gas to go, in this case through the bottom of the unit. Now of course this wasn't advertised because some nut job would give it a try. Just because you have an air bag doesn't mean you should crash your car into a wall. It would scare the heck out of you but you'd probably be ok. Another issue is the way modders place the atomizer fitting into the unit, most press the fitting into the unit. What does this mean? It means it won't handle much pressure, when a battery heats and expends and finally blows, guess where the pressure goes? You got it, right out the atomizer fitting. In this case it was the BB. While out in New York we pulled out about 40 units and placed them on the table and the first thing was said was, well, these are all pipe bombs just waiting to blow. We couldn't believe nobody anticipated this issue. Of course those with the knowledge like Bogxor warned of this but nobody listened. In the VP units case the fitting is of a threaded design, not pressed into aluminum. @kato07 - Exploding wouldn't be an issue for the VP passthrough because it's a straight passthrough, there is no battery inside the unit. So next time you decided to buy a unit because it's the "new" thing, make sure you keep in mind some of the saftey users. Ask the modder "what have you done to make this safe" any good suppliers or modder should give you direct answers about what they've done. We have answerd this question a few times. If they beat around the bush, ditch buying the unit, it's just not worth it.

Our ridiculous so called leaders are only trying to look out for our well being. RIGHT!!!! No they are trying to keep in good standing with the big cigarette companies that add money to their pockets every time its time for reelection. It's ok to smoke tobacco products even though it has been proven to cause cancer and many other problems. And what about alcohol? I don't see them trying to ban that again..remember what happened the last time they tried that? So why can't they just leave us the hell alone and let us make some of our own choices? We all know that it's money or the lack of it that's driving this legislation. These are the same kind of people that will tell you that e-cigs are bad for you and should be banned and then go out for a three drink lunch and hop in their cars to drive under the influence. What a bunch of a=holes

LMAO

My wife just refers to all vaping items as "that stuff." I asked her to watch out all the little travel bottles of juice I've left laying all over the place, and she told me she always just puts the cap on and sticks them back in the refrigerator! Thinking of gatorade of course. She's a little slow to catch on that vaping is meaningful. As to naming your PT... Maybe you should start a poll and let us vote on it! FTJoe already summarized all the suggestions. I kinda like "Firefly" myself - totally fitting and one of my favorite short-lived TV series of all time, too!

LOL at this thread!! I, myself, would call it the "Green-eyed MONSTER!"

It's green eh? ho ho ho green giant! I couldn't help myself. I always got a kick out of those commercials at the end! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i6UsDoo-aY hahahahahaha If I had a green one, that's prolly what I'd call mine. lol

Name it Firefly!

How bout "Big Metal" My wife calls my Spade the BONG. She'd call a VT/PT a Hukka or something.

Big Daddy sounds good to me.......Maybe you should start calling me that.

Okay folks - May I show you guys these responses starting with the last, next to last, etc? If I was Christopher, I'd tell you folks to clean up the language!!!! ... MY wife aptly refers to it as the caterpillar. ... I call mine "The Snorkel" ... THE BIG BAMBINO! ... Call it the Shamrock. ... it's green ... How about V-Pete? Or there's always "Big Johnson"... ... If it's blue you could call it blue thunder. ... Well depending on the color...if it's green you could call it the green hornet..or my favorite old comic character The Green Lantern.
