Guy Claims E-Cigarette Exploded In His Face

Trending News: Guy Posts Gruesome Pics After An E-Cigarette Exploded In His Face 

Andrew Hall posted gruesome photos on Facebook after an e-cigarette exploded in his face.


By now you've probably had friends that smoke e-cigarettes or have tried it yourself. Studies have shown that vaping is a great alternative to quitting smoking if you can't go cold turkey. But this might make you think twice about picking up that e-cigarette.

Andrew Hall shared the terrifying story of how his e-cigarette exploded in his face and posted gruesome photos of the aftermath. The post has been shared over 140,000 times and liked over 23,000 times so far.

Hall says he was getting ready for work one day and was puffing on his e-cigarette.

"I Vape (I know, terrible and uncool) but I no longer do and I hope to possibl[y] sway those that do to maybe reevaluate or find other methods of smoking," he wrote.

Hall said he has been vaping for about a year and didn't feel like he did anything wrong.

"I've been doing this for about a year now and assure you I did not do anything I wasn't supposed to (battery was in right, always had the shop put it together when I first bought it and add things and maintenance it the right way while taking their advice) but it exploded in my face."

After the explosion, Hall was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.

"I've lost at least 7 teeth, 2nd degree burns to face and neck and have been pulling chunks of plastic, teeth and foreign objects from mouth, throat and lips. I was lucky and they're was a huge amount of damage to the room in my house I was in as well."

Here are some of the pics he posted: Andrew Hall / Facebook 
Hall defends that the story isn't fake and said he would have been hesitant to believe it if it didn't happen to him.

"I know vapes help people quit smoking cigarettes and that's amazing. I just want to bring to light this is possible that they can explode without warning. I would have said "no way that's possible" until now. Thank you again for everyone that has not went to the instant "this is fake" and actually know I'm real, this really happened and I'm blessed this could have been so much worse."

On Monday, Hall continued to respond to people who deny the truth of the incident — this time, by sharing images of the e-cigarette and bathroom after the incident.

If this story is true, then the company that makes this e-cigarette has a lot of explaining to do. Hell, the whole industry has explaining to do. After all, we all know what happened to Samsung after their product exploded and that didn't even have scary photos like this.



Will the e-cigarette business take a hit from this?


A recent study found that e-cigarettes are as bad for your heart as actual cigarettes.
