There has been a lot of talk of battery safety lately because there have been a lot of stories in the news about vape explosions. While the media claims that these explosions are caused by electronic cigarettes, the culprits are actually caused by improper use of the batteries that people are using in their devices.
Look at any e-cig explosion in the news and you’ll see that in every case, they are happening to people using mechanical mods or people carrying loose spare batteries in their pockets. I can’t think of one example of one of these disasters happening to anyone using a regulated device or someone who carries batteries in a protective case.
So with all of these stories in the media right now, it makes sense that CASAA.org would put out a guide to battery safety.
I’ll run through some of the tips that they’ve compiled along with my own thoughts and insight for each tip.
