I dont plan on this to be infinite... but if i ignite with other source of damage, shouldnt that make vms explode?

Clearly, no, it shouldn't. That's what Mark_GGG is saying.
Vaal Molten Shell triggers off Hits you take, seems like the self-inflicted damage from the Eye of Innocence does not count as a Hit.

an answer from mark to me in private from about a week ago:
"Vaal Molten Shell (and regular Molten Shell) effectively cannot explode "while" it is exploding - this doesn't usually mean anything because the explosion takes no time, but it means the process of exploding can't cause it to simultaneously explode again."
this makes it not possible to be infinte, which i understand, but this dont make it wont trigger from other sources.
the only thing they said for sure you cant make the loop self inflicted from VMS itself

Notice eye of innocence deals fire damage to ones self and molten shell only triggers when youve reduced physical damage. As for coverting damage taken to physical, who knows. It either works or it doesnt work. If it worked it would be obscene. So i doubt it is considered a bug.

that is exactly what im asking, by my logic it should work... but need dev confirmation

Maybe you should ask in the Gameplay Help and Discussion subforum.
There is an Thread for questions regarding game mechanics.

The Rat Cage mod is currently bugged and not causing you to take (and thus mitigate) any physical damage.
