Yes, and it happened in California, so now if its the usual scenario, California will make some totally ridiculous law, then all states will slowly adapt, then Federal laws... I am slowly becoming a vape Prepper!
I was thinking the same thing. Can't see her having it on her lap, but having an even harder time seeing how this device could emit enough flames and sparks to catch her on fire from 2-3 feet away!
I used a very similar, probably almost exactly similar, vape for at least the first three months of my journey. I didn't have any problems with it at all, in fact a few CE4's & 900mAh batteries (both of which were currently used for a few days), and a few of that type of charger are in my 'backup stash.'
I don't get it...the VapCigs (as in rhymes with cap?) e-hookah looks like such a high quality product.
My guess is that she had a cigarette lighter to USB adapter.
I have one that I use to charge my cell phone.
A venting battery of that size could easily spew nasty stuff in many directions.
I have one of those. It doesn't put out enough amps to charge an eGo battery, so the charger LED just flashes a few times and the thing turns off. I think it does anyway, I have no intention to leave it and the battery hooked up to see what happens..
edit: wait, maybe I could make a couple million $$

my guess is she plugged the charger into a usb port on the laptop, and the laptop became very unhappy and things ran south from there.
She thought it was something else...
Now that there has been a large enough judgement, there will be explosions and lawsuits on a daily basis...
Considering the sheer number of lithium batteries that are powering mobile devices ( laptops, phones, tablets, etc., etc., and yes, vaping gear too ) all over the globe, it's bound to happen. Even if its only one in a million or one in a billion, it's not zero. But the chance that there's NOT some ambulance chaser around is exactly zero.
pursuit of happiness or is it per suit to happiness ?
Anyway ... let's be clear about one thing : The e-cigarette didn't go off - it was the battery mounted inside the e-cigarette.
Neither do laptops nor cellphones experience thermal runaway, the batteries installed in them do.
Of course, that little detail will be conveniently ignored by the many parties that want vaping to go away...
