"There have been 22 such incidents reported since 2008, when these products hit the market, said Tom Kiklas of the Tobacco Vapor Electronic Cigarette Association. But, he says, that's a tiny number when you consider that 9 million Americans are using e-vapor products and recharging them daily.
"It's not so much an issue of the e-vapor product but with the lithium batteries they are using, and most are mismatched to the charger," Kiklas told CNN. Consumers, he said, use batteries or chargers other than what's recommended, and that can be the problem.
He added that consumers should not to put these products in their pockets because coins can short-circuit the lithium-ion battery when they rub against the device.
The association has recommended a warning for their members to place on device packaging that tells consumers to not modify the devices or any associated hardware; not use batteries, power cords or chargers not sold with the devices; and not "carry batteries in your pocket or allow batteries to come into contact with any metallic object. Doing any of the preceding may cause the user serious or deadly injury."

I saw the story too. It was a cheap e-cig and he used the wrong charger (the pen types should only really be charged from a PC/laptop USB port unless you have a regulated charger). Most batter mod manufacturers recommend that you use a proper external charger for your removable batteries to reduce any risks.
People who ignore this, don't read the instructions or leave their e-cig charging all night from a phone charger are asking for trouble. |

I'm a vaper and use the take out rechargeable batteries never had a problem with mine, it's just mindless idiots not looking after stuff and inadequate shops selling to people in the first place, you can buy battery cases for a couple of quid which will keep the batteries safe. |

"What about wrong battery in a vibrator, yet to hear about a pussy that exploded"
A woman from primrose hill
Used dynamite sticks for a thrill
They found her vagina
In north Carolina
And bits of her tits in Brazil |

Ecigs are just the detonators, the day of the zombie apocalypse starts with the Ecigs setting off the phones which in turn detonates the tablets, and can you imagine the car batteries all going up in a chain reaction... course we are safe until there are enough electric cars  |
