A Florida man is in a coma after an electronic cigarette exploded in his face.

21-year-old Evan Spahlinger's sister was in another room with her 2-year-old when she heard an explosion.


She rushed in to find her brother not breathing with his face and neck burned.

"They said he has internal and external burns and damage to his lungs from the explosion itself and possibly the mouth piece went, when the cigarette exploded it went down his throat and exploded again," Ema Richardson says.

Spahlinger was rushed to a Tampa hospital and then flown to Miami for treatment.

Fire officials say the explosion was likely caused by the lithium battery inside the device but the exact cause of the incident remains under investigation.




There is a pic of the actual e-cig just in case any of you hipsters have one...

This, dear friends, is why YOU DON'T MODIFY ELECTRONICS THAT GO IN YOUR MOUTHS.

What's sad is a lot of the douches that vape do it to look cool. I would bet quite a few don't even smoke.

Vaping is the gayest fucking shit.
Fedora for your mouth.

Id rather people vape than smoke cigarettes.. the smell of bananas and cinnamon is way better than the smell of burnt tobacco

It's personal preference and like smoking you just have to be considerate. It's not difficult, but with all the kids doing it...

I'm not going to stop because some people whine about it though.

The stereotyping is strong here, have some of you even left Dallas in the last 10 years?

I have never understood the colossal backlash on this site against vaping. Who gives a fuck.

I think because vaping was originally intended to ween a smoker off cigs. Now, even non-smokers do it because they think it's the shit. I've never understood it unless you are really trying to quit.

As a smoker, I agree. Makes no sense to pick up a habit you've been just fine without for your entire adult life.

Otherwise known as the same reason why most people started smoking in the last 40 years.

Nicotine is not a super bad stimulant for people that need the energy or need a hunger suppressant that's readily available. I've never smoked, but understand why some people need it.
