Considering that all e-cigs are made in china I’d be shocked if more didn’t blow up. Of course their solution is to ban them instead of requiring well made American products instead of cheap Chinese crap.

is it the ecig or the batteries?

most ecig manufactures don’t make the batteries.

I thought it was dihydrogen monoxide that was the killer of so many unsuspecting people? I get my chemistry confused all the time, though!

It’s a damn good thing we don’t have to worry about terrorism anymore. Now these experts have time to go after the REALLY bad guys.

That is precisely what I was thinking when reading this, too.
This is likely a consumer safety issue that has impacted a tiny, tiny, tiny slice of the total population.

HO2 is not a compound that forms on this planet. Perhaps you are thinking of dihydrogen monoxide, H2O?

Dozens injured by vaping!

Millions die in agony by tobacco.

Gotta get vapers! Once people start vaping, they stop smoking!

It’s dihydrogen monoxide, DHMO, a truly dangerous substance.

Whassa matter, Sucky Choomer, no tax money coming in to make up for all the smokers who’ve quit? Why don’t you start smoking, you’ve shown us all you sure know how to suck!

I bet a heavy federal tax on E-cigs will solve these problems.

He is a supporter of big tobacco- Apparently He’d rather more people die from ciggs than have people smoking healthier ecigss which explode so rarely that it’s laughable to think there is an epidemic that needs regulation-

millions of people smoke eciggs=- daily- 20 times a day or so- or more- and how many explosions were there last year? 65? Let’s say that 10 million people smoke eciggs- they do so 20 times a day- that’s 200 million times a day eciggs are used-

multiply that by 365 days and you get 73,000,000,000 times eciggs are used per year- divide that by 65 times (the number of explosions, and you get what %? (I don’t know how to find a % of a number- never was good at math but the bottom line is the % of exploding eciggs is so small it’s a non issue- except to the ones it happens to of course- but really, you’re more apt to get struck by lightening than have an ecigg explode on you)

31 Russians just died from drinking body lotion.

A California man was seriously injured when he lifted his running lawnmower and tried to use it as a hedge trimmer.

A local Punta Gorda man was bitten three times while trying to kill a pigmy rattlesnake with barber scissors.

You cannot legislate against stupid - use as directed and common sense, all that is needed.

If the government could fix stupid, Chuckie would be a greeter at a Vegan Café.

Thanks for explaining why they’re blowing up. I don’t have any idea how they work, so I was imagining people loading them up with high-proof vodka instead of the nicotine solution.
