Elfbar ELFX Pro Classic Edition Vape Kit

I purchased this product from VapeUK and had been using it for about two months without any issues. However, in the early hours of this morning, I was woken up by a hissing sound coming from the windowsill, where my vape was sitting (it was upright, about half full, the pod had been replaced a couple of weeks previously, and the device was NOT connected to a charger).

The vape was activating spontaneously and uncontrollably at a rate of about two 'puffs' per second. I couldn't remove the pod because it was too hot to touch and I was honestly afraid I might be electrocuted if I tried. I did try pressing and holding the button on the side but it wouldn't stop. The inside of the pod began to glow orange and the device began to emit a lot of smoke (foul smelling smoke, not vape-like smelling smoke). I ended up throwing the vape out the window in a panic before it set the smoke alarm off!

I am not looking for a refund or any other form of payment or 'goodwill' offer; I have seen other reviews on various retailers' websites that mention this model overheating, and I just want this model to be recalled before someone gets hurt. If I hadn't woken up or hadn't been in the room when this happened, it could have set my curtains on fire. I will be posting a review on every website selling this model until it is recalled.

I have enclosed pictures of the vape and pod after I threw it out the window (it landed on the extension roof and I haven't yet retrieved it). You can just about see that the pod is damaged from overheating.
