Xbox warns players not to blow vape smoke through their new Xbox Series X – CNET

The https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X is only two days old and Microsoft has already been forced to tell people to not blow vape smoke into their consoles. Really.

As the next-generation https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny became available on Tuesday, videos started to emerge of consoles “overheating” and spewing  smoke though its vents up top. But a Spanish-language Twitter account called https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Studio (not an official https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny account) dispelled this “fake news,” showing how the smokey effect that people were claiming to be caused by overheating was more likely being achieved through blowing vape smoke into the console.

https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Studio’s debunking tweet was retweeted over 3,400 times, of course leading to a few folks DIY https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny vape. 

“We can’t believe we have to say this,” the official https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny account tweeted, “but please do not blow vape smoke into your https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X.” Aaron Greenberg, head of marketing for https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny, tweeted: “Put down the vape and pick up the controller.” Too true, Aaron. Too true. 

The https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series X launched Tuesday alongside the smaller, cheaper and less powerful https://bit.ly/2Vf72ny Series S. The Series X will set you back $500 (£450, AU$749), while the Series S, with no disc drive or 4K capability, is a more affordable $300 (£250, AU$499). The PlayStation 5 follows on Thursday.
