I use a mechanical mod utilizing an 18650 battery.

I like it because it’s a big hitter. Unlike your fancy set up mine is pure current. It doesn’t have any safety features and can inadvertantly activate in my pocket.

My first thought was yours: keys or some other metal object in her pocket.

Can you sue Craftsmen if you smash your finger with a hammer they made?

You have to work on your logic skills a little bit. Comparing hitting yourself with a hammer to buying a defective battery that blows up in your pocket and injures you, are not the same thing.

[Durus]

You have to work on your assumption skills a bit. There has been absolutely no evidence of anything defective.

Just a few weeks ago, they approved a new reg for the Imperial Federal Government to oversee regulating e-cigs and their cousins. IOW, the camel's nose is already in the tent. If Her Corpulence steals the election, be prepared to pay by the puff. *shudder*

Eight years four months on my ecig.
And I didn’t turn into a tobaccophobic nazi when I smell burning tobacco. I rather like the scent.

I'm a sucker for some good bourbon-soaked pipe tobacco going in a well-seasoned briar bowl. Smoked one even back in my 30's at home. I was seriously into it, with three pipes, several different blends of tobacco, stem filters, pipe cleaning tool, even a pipe rack. Being in my 50's, I think I could rock an e-pipe, if they weren't so expensive.
