There has been a great stir of controversy among electronic cigarette users this past week at ElectronicCigarettesReviews.net after an e-cigarette exploded in Florida. On February 16, a Florida man was using his electronic cigarette in his home office when it suddenly exploded. He was left with severe burns and the explosion knocked out many of his teeth and a section of his tongue.
Initial reports stated that a faulty electronic cigarette battery was to blame for the explosion, but now officials are not so sure. There is new suspicion that the man had modified his electronic cigarette, which directly caused the explosion. According to the fire department that responded to the call, the e-cigarette acted like a bottle rocket and the battery exploded out of the electronic cigarette tube setting a nearby closet on fire.
Many people who use electronic cigarettes have been fearful since the accident, but it is highly unlikely that an unmodified e-cigarette would explode.
ElectronicCigarettesReviews.net is one of the leading e-cigarette review sites online and they maintain their stance that the e-cigarette brands on their site are safe from causing user injuries when used as directed by the manufacturer.
All of the electronic cigarettes that have been reviewed and promoted by ECR are held to a higher standard of safety to ensure these types of incidents won’t happen. Smokers do not need to worry that their electronic cigarette could suddenly catch on fire or explode if they are using one of the approved brands that are promoted on ElectronicCigaretteReviews.net.
Dustin Erickson of ECR said, “I am using V2 Cigs right now and I have no concerns about injuries occurring from use because the top e-cig companies like V2, Green Smoke, and Premium E Cigarettes all have safety features built in. Those safety features include automatic battery shutoffs, smart chargers that prevent overcharging, and they also prevent those younger than 18 from obtaining e-cigs. None of these things are mandated, but companies will not be listed on our site if they are not concerned about consumer safety as well as preventing underage consumers from buying e-cigarettes.”
The real danger lies in making modifications to the original electronic cigarette. Smokers should avoid buying modified e-cig units or making any modifications at home. As long as modifications are avoided, the electronic cigarette is still a great device to use as an alternative to tobacco cigarettes.
