I was shocked to hear the news that “A male student had his jaw broken and his teeth broken because an electronic cigarette exploded in his mouth”. What happened?
I see people say it's the battery. But blaming the battery for the whole vape exploding is a bit unreasonable. Because vape batteries are just regular lithium-ion batteries, right? Any electronic device uses this type - for example, smartphones; laptops; power banks, etc. People have even researched and used this battery for electric bicycles, electric motorbikes, electric cars, etc. without any problems.
After a moment of being startled by the sensational headline, I had to go back to some reliable information pages to find out immediately. After scanning through a series of information, from the operating mechanism of lithium-ion batteries, the operating mechanism of vapes to the cause of explosions, the conclusion is: Vape battery explosions are RARE, almost non-existent, guys! This was confirmed by the Association of Users Supporting Alternative Smokeless Tobacco Measures. There are only a few cases like the recent news, usually due to 2 reasons: 1 - Due to the habit of overcharging the battery (this is not only vapes, any electronic device can encounter similar cases); 2 - Due to poor quality products, maybe a bad charging cord or a bad vape, which leads to such a situation.
Reading up to here is OK, I can confidently pick up my genuine, high-quality vape and continue using it.
This article is written with the main purpose of sharing and reminding the brothers in my group. Don’t be confused when seeing information on the internet. There are many “sensational headlines” about vaping, the important thing is to understand the ins and outs before believing. I encourage everyone to refer to the Association of Users Supporting Alternative Smokeless Tobacco Measures page that I mentioned above, it has a whole section clarifying the “rumors” about vaping. There they refute everything, and affirm that vaping is a form that has the potential to reduce the harmful effects of tobacco for users.
