First Confirmed Death from Exploding Vape Pen

Though it was a tobacco vape, the principle is the same. It appears to be the hard-shell lithium-ion battery, as this is not the first exploding vape.

This is great for the FDA and their push for vaporizer regulation.

I've just been reading the comments at WaPo article. Seems that this was probably an unregulated mod vape with the hard l-i battery. Appears that that's what most of the exploding vapes have been. Not having the chip or circuit to regulate, it can overheat quite quickly.

Yeah, you know that and I know that. But an incident like this is still twisted and utilized by anyone with an agenda to push this argument.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling type thing.

Agreed. PS: I have no agenda other than sharing weed news from the better news sites I follow.
