Much of the time when you hear one of these 'exploding e-cig' stories, its when an idiot modifies a unit without knowing what he's doing.
But it fits the media agenda to leave that part out. Easier just to demonize vaping.

Maybe you're right, but maybe you're wrong.
I have 4 batteries for my drone, and one of them just exploded the other day. I noticed the the other 3 batteries no longer fit into the charger and upon closer examination, each of them were swelling.
A google search told me that sometimes gasses can build up inside certain batteries, causing them to explode. I didn't modify any of the batteries, nor overcharge them. It just sometimes seems to happen with shit batteries.
I don't care if people vape or not but isn't it maybe a good idea to make sure that the materials the pens are made out of are safe, that the batteries inside them are proper, and that the chemicals inhaled are as safe as possible and regulated?
