There are various causes of e-cigarette explosions that can easily be avoided by following a vape device’s instructions. The most common cause of e-cigarette explosions is mishandling of the device or Lithium-Ion battery. Using faulty or damaged batteries should be avoided at all cost. Damage can happen to the wrapping, exposing the metal of the battery through use. Batteries should always stay dry and kept away from heat. Lithium-Ion batteries should also never come into contact with any metallic objects like loose change in a purse or the button studs on a pocket.
