Your Pinto analogy does not apply.
It does when you consider people are making bullshit excuses for problems that could have serious consequences; just like Ford did back then (although granted we're just talking about a little pretend vaporizer here).

To be specific, it burns when I forget to turn the battery around while in my pocket. After a while I notice a burning smell.
You have GOT to be kidding. And you don't think that could be a BIG problem??? Hey this ain't an issue where "you ain't suckin hard enough" or "you ain't reading the instructions well enough" is a good answer unless yer just stoned or sumtin- It is a design flaw that could get someone hurt.
It isn't a design flaw when it is explained very clearly what to do and what not to do. I did what I shouldn't have done. I wasn't hurt. No where near it. I just smelled the overcooked material. And, as someone pointed out, there was no ash so no actual burning of the material. I used the wrong word. It would have had to have been on in my pocket much longer to burn me.
But regardless, there are many products that, if used improperly, can cause harm, even death. At some point, you must understand it is your responsibility to operate a machine in the way it was intended. If you do not, and you get hurt, you are at fault. It really sounds as if you're looking for a way to shirk your own responsibility. Again, the driver of the Pinto is not improperly operating the vehicle when it is rear ended. Sans a faulty box, it will not burn the material or harm you when operated properly. And, so far, I haven't read anything about faulty boxes harming anyone.
I've never used a
Vrip heat wand but I imagine, please correct me if wrong, one could burn themselves with it if not careful. Is that the fault of the user or the manufacturer?
When carrying my
Iolite in my pocket I always place its case between the vape and my leg. Why? Because when venting the exhaust burned my leg.
Supreme Vaporizer: Exposed large metal heating element.
Log vapes: those metal stem tips get hot. The heat exchangers are pretty hot also. Touch it and you get burned.
Volcano (from the manual):
The manufacturer is not re- sponsible for any damage or personal injury caused by inappropriate, incorrect or irresponsible use...if the vaporizer is not installed properly, this may cause per- sonal injuries and material damage for which the manuf- acturer cannot be held re- sponsible...Beware of hot surface!
after filling a balloon do not touch any parts of the filling chamber or of the cap until they have cooled down...safety instructions! in order to avoid injuries to persons and damage to the equipment, it is mandatory to observe instructions marked with this symbol.
Yeah, a vaporizer that requires proper operation has a serious design flaw.
But it's probably some sort of conspiracy that's why we are all giving these "bullshit" excuses. I'm quite happy with my box. I've been vaporizing for quite a few years now, probably a couple shy of 10. The box was not my first vaporizer. I've used a Volcano on numerous occasions. I currently own 5 vapes, including the box and an Iolite. I know the difference between vapor and smoke. I get vapor from the box. It sucks that you cannot. If it is a faulty box, take advantage of Magic Flight's awesome warranty and customer service. If you cannot operate the box properly, sell it and find one that suits you better. Both suggestions are active, productive steps you can take to make your situation better. Trashing the product and griping about it in the face of so much contrary evidence isn't getting you anywhere.
Good luck.
first vape ever!
