E-Cigarette Explodes in Man’s Pants – More Similar Incidents Are Reported [VIDEO]

Smoking can kill, but an e-cig can explode in your pants.

A terrifying video had surfaced of a Kentucky man waiting in line at a Shell station when the battery exploded in his e-cigarette.

The man then rushed outside and struggled to take off  his burning pants off. An employee behind the counter grabbed a fire extinguisher and put the fire out.

The man, Josh Hamilton, was taken to a nearby hospital by another customer.

Alarmingly, on Monday, February 15th, a Utah man was hospitalized from another exploding e-cigarette. And, according to Fox 13, several more burn incidents have been reported since this man came forward.
