At least it says that it was being charged with the wrong type of adapter

Whilst, of course, not acceptable, these sporadic "exploding e-cig" events are pretty much part and parcel being human. With X amount of idiots on the planet, and the increase in the number of people using e-cigs, then by default, the amount of idiot vapers will increase, along with the amount of "idiot induced" accidents, proportionally, as vaping popularity increases.
Vaping, like all other leisure activities, also suffers from "the sunday market effect" with down market,poor quality, cheap and shoddy, devices available to hoodwink the hoodwinkable.

The press has an opportunity to expand on the details of these "accidents" ie, mode of use during the accident, type of device, name of device, recommended usage, actual useage, legitimate device, dodgy device etc etc. which could help towards e-cig safety. But they won't, because real facts and circumstances detract from the required shock value of the articles.

The Press will never change, they thrive on their "Toaster electrocutes Child" articles that forget to add "child pokes fork into toaster"

I made quite an impressive fireworks display in the science lab in my old school using magnesium some test tubes and a liquid based substance and although the top floor was evacuated that never made any news, tv or papers (including the local one) at the time.

Must try harder next time.................................

I notice lately that they are crowbarring the David Thomson (O2 tank kaboom) story into any e-cig mishap articles. It's almost as if the main story lacks macabre details.

International headline news!

In other stories, I have developed a method of converting stupid into energy, and I have single handedly solved the world's energy crisis.

Second rate failures,
I blew up 3 toilets on the top floor with black powder I made in chemistry , flooding the whole of the language block . I also turned the fume cupboard into a second door with I nifty little time delayed explosion. Never did expel me but I wasn't allowed to do chemistry or physics for my remaining school life, it was a shame because I was really good with chemicals
