GEORGIA, A 23-year-old man was left with first-degree burns and a hole in the roof of his mouth when an e-cigarette he was smoking blew up in his face.
James Lauria also suffered burns to his hand and cornea, a fractured neck and finger and had his front tooth forced up into his gum.
Six weeks after the accident, James still cannot eat solid foods and now speaks with a lisp.
“He had burns to his hand and a fractured neck and finger, and burns to his cornea,” Ed Lauria, James’ father said during an interview with Fox 5 News.
“It blew a hole through his pallet and at the same time, flames went down and he got first-degree burns on his chest and up on his face. It forced his front tooth up into his gum— out of sight -and chipped the other one and damaged a few other lower teeth.”
The exploded device is currently being investigated by the South Walton Fire and Rescue Department.
Yep, I own a couple of mechanical mods though i don’t “compete”. Stay in the operating parameters of the battery your fine. having said that I like my box mods, low resistance, short circuit and temperature protection.
“Wait, this can’t be right. Southerners only have one front tooth, not two.
I couldn’t resist...sorry.”
And you have only one functioning brain cell.
I couldn’t resist...sorry.
Did you get your little feelings hurt and had to lash out?
Bless your heart.

Actually, no. I just have an instinctive reaction when I am around a smart ass. Most people do.
Now, will your little hurt feelings cause you to respond in kind. Don’t waste your time. I got enough of that watching the debate Wednesday.
I've lived in the South so my comment, while in jest, was not far from being accurate.
The charge and juice lasts 2 or 3 hours, but we'd got plenty of backups on the ready.
E-cigs have been great for wifey and I == as 45 year smokers, we both literally went zero days desiring tobacco when we found our vapor sticks.
It’s not water vapor, it’s a vapor of ethylene glycol, which is flammable. It would take a fairly high temperature to ignite it, but it is flammable.
