E cigarette

Check out recent BBC news story. The issue here is often people use chargers that are not designed to be used with the cigarettes. This includes charges like those portable batteries that campers use to charge phones and the like. http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=e-cigarette

I heard about a Fire Officer who had a charger in his back pack - it exploded ! Thankfully he was not hurt.

So did the charger explode without being connected to the power supply? If so this is surely cause for concern.

If the officer was using the charger inside the backpack he deserves a mention in the Darwin Awards.

I believe that it has been recently charged but I am sure the Officer concerned was not actually inside the back pack when smoking it  ;)

The US navy has recently banned vapping units on all its ships. Its not just about the chargers but the units them selves.
