Damn! Wonder how that happens. Vape pen cracks in pockets? Bad battery?
Guy looks like me when I use Siberia.

I am scared by seeing this picture here. This has happened by the effect of smoking. Am I right? I am also a smoker. Now I would like to quit and don't want to take it longer. So, please suggest me possible way to quit smoking forever? Thanks!

You've come to the right place. Welcome to SnusOn. I quit smoking 11 years ago by using Swedish Snus. Give it a try!

As an experienced vapor before switching to snus, that sort of thing is usually one of several things, False reporting, False story, wrong continuous amp discharge battery for the build they were using or a mechanical mod with the battery too low. To get an exploding battery it is generally the wrong type of chemistry in the battery for the amp draw required by the build. That would then be user error in my honest opinion.

Having said that there are an increasing number of battery companies labeling with false continuous discharge rates for their batteries. Only a very few battery brands should be used for vaping.

Things have gotten really bad in parts of Australia over the last year or so - hopefully it isn't a harbinger of what the rest of us will soon face.
I'm hoping reason wins out over irrational fear in at least a few countries, but I've prepared for the worst.

I don't like e-cig at all. Do you have another method like- vaping or e-juice?

Good to see our NHS is looking out for our health.

Are you sure it's don't hamper health?

Are you sure it's don't hamper health?

Public Health England, Royal College of Physicians say it's very very unlikely too.

Even anti tobacco zealots like Stanton agree that it's safer.

Possible Vape Pen Explosion

If proven this would be the first known fatality caused by a vaping explosion.

Well at least at the end of the video they had some common since safety tips on being safe, but a lot of people do not pay attention to them. I first started vaping in 2009 (crap equipment), then full time vaping in 2013 (now I mostly use Snus). I only had a battery start to get hot once, and I was using an unprotected Mech Mod, the coil shorted and when it started to get hot I popped off the atomizer. Was not too hot to hold, but I still recycled the battery, no use risking it. Since then I only use protected devices, no reason to take a chance. I would like to know what he was using, "Vape Pen" covers MANY THOUSANDS of devices.
