If that guys battery went kaboom, wouldn't the outside of his face have more injury to it than the inside?
Ouch!
Have pictures of the device or the failed battery or the users hands been posted?
I predict it was a Roman Candle that HIM put in his mouth. I've been drunk before...

Ouch is right!
Those injuries look like contact burns. I have a hard time believing a jet of flame could do that, the damage is so localized. It really does look like he had a very hot rod or tube in his mouth. If the battery shot into his mouth I would be amazed it stayed there long enough to do that amount of damage.
But...the FB comments show a tube mod in four pieces with a jellyrolled cell. Could be for real. Just have no idea how the injuries could end up like that though.

The guy seems to not have a clue about vaping (nor how to type/speak english), talking about a 'regulated RDA' and such, also seems to not have a clue about battery safety...

He was sucking from the wrong end of the mod....
Read the comments on the post. A very lively discussion, pointing at the fact that this damage is consistent with firing a blank round with the gun barrel in your mouth.
"pullin. 55 ohms" is likely 'pullin .55 ohms' but the 'regulated RDA' doesn't make sense. And this may shed some light, where some had to grind down the center post to make the combo work:
Tobh+4nine how to make it work?! Don't upvote. : electronic_cigarette

This is an advanced mechanical mod, recommended for Experienced Vapers Only.
* Do not store the device with a battery installed.
* We recommend the use of 'button top' batteries. (Flat top batteries are still compatable with the improved delrin insulator now featured on the device.)
* Ensure the magnetic switch is properly installed, with the magnet resisting the switch housing.

And there's no indication of what battery was used and what the amp limits were.

I would think that it is more likely that he meant that he was 'pullin' 55 amps rather than using a 0.55 ohm coil (as 0.55 ohm is pretty safe for the majority of batteries, being only 32W and drawing 7.6Amps).
55 Amps being well beyond the safe limits of any battery (Giving 231W and a coil resistance of 0.076ohms).
Possibly, but he was 'reassuring' people he did nothing wrong. His obvious misspellings and missed spaces, etc. makes me think that the period after 'pullin' was meant to be before the '55' since that makes the most sense considering all that and he wrote out 'ohms' in reference to the RDA, rather than the battery.
I think amps is what he didn't know. And if it was 'standard' to have to grind down the pin - as was stated many times in the thread I linked, then that opens up many things that could have been 'ground down' in the process causing a short perhaps.
OR, as was the case with the exploded 'Chuck' years back, he may have used a non-rechargeable batt, where upon first firing after 'recharging' it exploded. All guesses of course, since when something like this happens, all data is hidden, or simply not known by the user. I had to point out that the Chuck battery was a non-rechargeable battery - I found it by searching google for one that matched the picture of the one he was using.
