E-cigarettes and handheld vaporizers have grown in popularity in recent years as an alternative to cigarettes. These small, battery-powered devices produce a heated nicotine vapor from a flavored solution, allowing individuals to mimic the sensation of smoking. While the jury is still out on whether or not “vaping” is healthier than cigarettes, vaping enthusiasts should be aware of a more immediate and potentially more deadly concern: e-cigarette explosions.
Numerous reports have surfaced in recent years of the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in these devices combusting while being used, charged, or stored in a user’s pocket, leaving smokers with serious third-degree burns as well as damage to the teeth, tongue, lips, fingers, and hands. In many cases, these explosions are caused by overheating.
