This has happened a lot of times so far. How about they use a regular Ni-cad. So what if they have to be charged more. The trade is worth it.
Actually, no, it hasn’t happened lots of times. The 2,053 reports is among multiple millions of e-cigarettes sold. . . And it wasn’t “explosions” but reports of batteries that swelled, overheated, and a few that caught fire, worldwide. These reports are from the anti-vaping people who will hype anything. The fact is that I have switch several four pack-a-day cigarette smokers to e-cigarette vaping and everyone of them is now a non-smoker, non-vaper. It’s the best way to stop the nicotine habit I know of. You just taper them off of the nicotine in the vaping solution until there is none at all and they stop on their own.
The vaping “juice” is a lot safer than tobacco, being made of natural food additives and flavorings, contrary to the hype the anti-vapers’ claims.
