This is indeed a problem if people are using mechanical mods. But with a sufficient battery pack and proper voltage/current regulation, and batteries from reputable manufacturers (Sony, Samsung, LG, etc.), it's not even a concern.

Also, the mechanical mod crowd is a rather small part of the e-cig community overall. Vocal, but small.

Wasn't a mechanical mod. It was a Kangertech, with all the bells and whistles including controllable voltage and current on the box.
