First of all I don’t get het whole vaping-thing.
1) If you wanna smoke……smoke! :person_facepalming:
2) “Vaping” in the bathroom? Really? I Always though vaping was not addictive…….
3) The explosion was so damaging it caused his sink to break !!! :question:
So, this guy was standing up, the vapingthing exploded, the bathroom sink (one meter away!!) broke and his head is still attached to his torso? Really? REALLY???
This story makes little sense to me. If the explosion was so strong that it broke the sink the damage to his his head would have been much greater.
More likely he put the vapinthingy on the sink (for whaterver reason) and had his face close to it.
And why ghe f,k would you want to do that?
Dodgy story. Just my 2 cents.

He could have been sitting on the John, face a foot from the sink corner… just saying. He does say it blew up in his mouth. He was getting ready to go to work, I’m assuming he was “taking care of business” before heading out.
Rude awakening, no doubt!
Edit: The mouth piece plastic, threads strip and the metal end holding the cell fires off like a rocket? Breaking the sink, bouncing up towards the corner where the flamed path shows it’s travel? Logic many times fails to explain truth.
Smoking is getting ridiculously expensive and is said to be more harmful to health than vaping.
Well, when you vape a nicotine containing substance, itś addictive just like smoking tobacco.
Yeah, that’s some strong coffee, isn’t it?
Maybe the bottom with the switch shot out and cracked the sink there.
Remember that on the other end it blew out 7 of his teeth…
That’s some force there…
I’m glad I don’t smoke
Exploding vaper just says he bought a cheap copy with fake vent holes and an airtight battery compartment
In addition with people overdischarge their cells regularely vaping with an almost depleeted cell dropping under load below 2V, the cell gets damaged over time
My dad had a fully drained lead battery in his car below front seat, he wanted to charge it at –5dC
I am glad he told me I took the battery in the house and it was partially frozen
Charging a frozen lead battery is a guranteed way to get a really big mess
Expecting people to learn is like expecting car accidents to stop happening.
Get used to it…
No one will ban cars, governments will ban lithium ion batteries
In the video there’s a puff of dark smoke followed by a bright flash.
Looks like afuel-air explosion
“gas is explosive, let’s ban it” said nobody ever.
Perhaps a safer chemistry will make things better for vapers.
Well, I think they already knew the dangers of using regular tobacco. I still consider vaping might be safer even with occasional explosion 
The li ion restrictions already in place from airplanes and shipping are not just for show
Yes, and fyi you’re also not allowed to take gas, fireworks, knives, explosives, guns, and a few other things on planes.
Just because it’s dangerous and restricted does not mean it will be banned.
Well, who knows what mech mod did he used…we digital smokers do some wierd stuuf in order to make our smoking better 
Personaly, i do own 4 different devices ( and like 10+ atomizers) and i always try myself not to push the battery tha hard, since i am an MLT i use them at 5-6 amps tops, using Sanyo GA 24/7
However, when i use a battery for a month or two, actualy when the bottom gets scatched from the charger i simply throw that battery away, safety first, its 4 euros
Even so nothing is guaranteed, i still could explode
yet, i would never ever go back to the casual smoking
Well i usualy collect and throw them in the nearby shop`s battery recycling bin, prolly you have simmilar in US too in the stores
obviously, however no one can be sure some moronic government bureaucrat won’t do something stupid.
Like banning powerful vacuum cleaners? Or maybe cucumbers that aint 100% perfect? Welcome to the EU m8 !
Do you know that we are about to ban mixed swimming pools too? Indeed we are about too… and now me and my sons have to go there alone, while the wifey will visit it the other day when only women are allowed…in order not to heard someones feeling you know….
Yet you do not foresee governments caring about exploding batteries…
Ban everything.
Ban bottles because people stick em in their *hole.
Just put a sticker on the e-cigs “danger may harm your health”.
And dont allow import of E-cigs that have not met standards for safety like proper vent holes and overdischarge protection.
A proper lithium cell will vent not explode, a proper e-cig has vent holes so it cant explode,
it may vent gases and you got enough time to throw it away before they ignite themselves burning you.
