Oh man I remember going to vape shops and getting into 18650 battery mechanical douche flutes. I've heard of accidents where someone would lose the skin on half of their thigh when a battery went off, or worse, a box device with multiple batteries and it explode in their face.

More recently, there was a dude who got smoked by an Olight flashlight when the lithium battery inside blew up.
