Are these things going to blow up?!

If you are using stock, the ones that came with your kit, they are protected and are pretty darn safe.
If you are doing your own battery modifications, then you're on your own. If you are buying a battery mod, then follow the manufacturer's instructions on batteries and chargers.
To the best of my knowledge no one's been killed or injured yet using non-modded stock battery systems.
Different mods use the higher voltage batts - and these vary from mod to mod. Most use li-ion, protected li-ion or protected crt or ultrafires.
Normal basic 'non modded' PV (like a basic 510 or a basic Kr8) use the lower mah (i forget the exact mah lol) lithium-ion batteries which are very safe (and need recharging often lol)

There's enough legitimate stuff in the world to worry about. Unmodified battery systems aren't one of them.
You smoked cigarettes - a known killer. Now you're going to worry about the miniscule chance that a battery is going to hurt you? Sorry, I can't get very excited by that prospect.
The little batteries that come with the stock little electronic cigarettes are all Lithium-Ion batteries, and if they were to blow, you would get a little pffffft sound and it might leak some battery juice.
But I don't remember hearing of that happening.
Now when you get into the big boy batteries on the mods, then you do have some reason for concern. First you need to make SURE that you get protected batteries. And if you are super-hardcore worried, then you should get a mod with vent holes just in case.
But if you get protected batteries, you will almost certainly never need the just in case.
And I always leave my batteries charging over night.
Including the big boy 18650s I use.
But I do put the whole charging system in the bathroom sink just in case.

You should have "protected" bats. & smart chargers. What happens if it goes wrong. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...moving-into-new-realm-vaping.html#post1288709 no.8

Do you drive an automobile? Ever considered the explosive potential of 10 or more gallons of gasoline in your freshly filled tank? Ever see news videos of people incinerated beyond recognition in car wrecks? How many have you seen of people maimed or killed by batteries?
Actually, there was/is a member of ECF that was using un-protected batts in his mod when the batt exploded. It drove 2 of his teeth into the roof of his mouth, burned his cheek, and lips.
Another member had one charging in his car. The batt exploded and burned the area around the mod. Luckily, it didn't catch fire.
So, yes it has happened. Fortunately, these things are very rare occurances. Use correct batteries for your mods, use protected batts, and you're good to go.
LMFAO at these safety questions.
If you walk the streets.
If you drink.
If drive a car.
If you smoked or still smoke analogues.
If you hit Da Weed.
If you go Swimming, Cycling, Diving, Skiing Etc, Etc, Etc.
You probably got more chance of injuries or death then vaping.

No one is criticizing the safety of vaping. The OP is simply asking if the stock batteries are safe. Some batteries (non-ecig related) have a tendency to catch fire or explode. I don't think the OP should get so much crap for asking a good question. OP is new to vaping and is learning and that's what all new members come here to do... Ask questions and learn.
Wait a minute, what is a protected battery? Or unprotected for that matter. How do you know what kind you have?
This is only an issue with the big battery mods like the Silver Bullet, The Chuck, etc. A protected lithium battery has a circuit boards on BOTH ends of the battery that are designed to cut off the power at certain voltage levels so it doesn't overcharge or drain too far. A protected battery, in use, will just stop working when the voltage drains to the cut off point.
The accidents I've read about have all happened with unprotected batts in big devices and there's only been a few.
So your stock or eGo batteries are not going to kill you folks.........unless you eat them.
If you're talking about the little cigarette shaped stock batteries, they're fine.
If you're talking about the bigger batteries used in mods, you know which kind you have because you made absolutely certain that you were buying a protected battery when you bought them.
Wherever you go to buy your bigger batteries for mods, make sure that it very clearly states on the website that the battery is protected before you buy it.
And did I really forget to mention this?

They want to take electronic cigarettes away from us and we MUST stop them.
