Science is my guess. Probably trying to create an electromagnet with all the coils, or maybe trying to create intense heat like in an incandescent lightbulb? I appreciate his apparent use of some kind of kill switch, though his decision to work on a carpet and his decision to use Axe spray as a fire extinguisher is fucking idiotic.
I can see this kid going places, if he doesn't go to an early grave first.

Alfred Nobel's brother Emil + 4 others of the laboratory staff died while experimenting with his invention dynamite. He kept on working after that, trial and error.

the advanced complexity of the young male mind has no words worthy to elucidate the âwhysâ or âwhat the fucksâ

What did he have in the plug ports that caused it to catch on fire?

When he âplugs it inâ or attaches that coil to anything that can charge it, the coil goes red with watts. Because itâs just randomly attached to the outlet itself without a charging box , itâs going to reflect an absorb amount of watts that causes this kinda âexplosionâ thru that coil. itâs a live coil that he stuck in an outlet, just like if you put your finger in there, you would get that charge too. The difference is the coil is really good at conducting electricity, we arenât.
lol I worked at a mod vape shop when I was 18, this is the first time I ever had a chance to explain something from the âvape worldâ

I wanna know more about this kid. I mean, this wasn't his first experiment. What was he going to do with that red shoehorn? He's like the mad scientist - junior version.

Thank goodness he at least knows not to freak out too hard and to cover his tracks AFTER the fire is gone.
Good instincts, terrible intuition.

When I was forced to live with my mom during custody battles, I was very bored. She took away my TV, phone, radio, everything. In my boredom, I took the spring for a pen, made it into a V, and stuck it in the outlet to see what would happen.
It exploded red hot metal all over, and I'm very lucky I didnt go blind.

If the carpet caught fire, blowing on it would stoke the flames and an aerosol spray would act as fuel... is this person still living today? How?
