It's just the technology/chemistry of lithium batteries, google, cellphone or hoverboard explodes, the chemistry of the batteries makes them very energy dense but at the same time allows for that energy to be released really fast, for example lithium ion drill packs use them as well, a lot of power is needed to give the torque the motor needs to drive a really big screw in and to be able to provide that power the battery needs to release it's energy really fast..
Using a case with the batteries can prevent both damage and remove the potential for short circuits, for people like her that don't bother they need to know why it's important to pay that lol 50 cents...

You just don't see them in the news as much, vaping is a highly controversial subject right now, pretty obvious considering the amount it's showed in the news however the science says it's extremely safer than smoking 95% average 99% optimal, what it all come down to is nicotine isn't all that bad for you, but there's two groups of people, the abstinence only crowd that thinks anyone that is addicted or likes things like Nicotine, Caffeine, Alcohol, recreational drugs, should just stop using them altogether and then theirs the harm reduction crowd, Here's an example:
Joe here is a smoker, Joe has smoked for 22 years, he's starting to die from it, early stages of COPD, high blood pressure, can't run 20 feet without getting out of breath and coughing up a lung but Joe loves to smoke, not just the nicotine, but the motions, hand to mouth movement, seeing the smoke, anxiety relief, helps him with concentration etc etc. Joe is going to die from smoking unless he either (A): Stops Which Joe doesn't want to do. or (B) Reduce the risk by still getting everything he likes from smoking by switching to vaping and reducing the risk by 95-99%....
Lets pretend Joe is 34 and started smoking at 12 and worked his way up to 2 or 3 packs a day..... A concerned love one buys Joe a vape and Joe starts vaping just to at least cut down his smoking at this point he's using both cigarettes and the vape, the vape tastes great compared to the smoke so he starts using it more and more, eventually he quits smoking without even really trying or meaning to and switched completely to vaping....
About 1 or 2 weeks after the switch Joe's body says HEY! you're not trying to kill me anymore and starts healing itself (additives in cigarettes suppresses the symptoms of many smoking related diseases so your body doesn't know to heal them so you can continue smoking/buying big tobacco's product) Let's fast forward a year and a half and now Joe can run, he can play with kids more, he's getting interested in sports which he couldn't do since he was 13-14 years old, his life will be longer, he no longer smells like a bucket of burning tar, his COPD has completely went a away and for the first time in years he can both breathe better and taste food again etc etc etc...
See the harm reduction crowd, see merit in Joe making the switch while the abstinence only crowd feels Joe shouldn't make the switch and are perfectly find with Joe dying because he likes smoking, they probably don't want him to die but he will anyways...
Now ask yourself, what if Joe saw this article with its misleading title while he was still a smoker? Do you think he would still be as likely to make the life saving switch or would he be scared away from vaping altogether? This article could potentially kill people...
Truth is Joe's story is actually my story, I was a very heavy smoker for 22 years, vaping saved my life, it has given me a better quality of life and I've been smoke free for about a year and a half now thanks to vaping, please I beg you don't be so ready to hit vaping with a stick like its a pinata and if you do please provide information like I mentioned above how a simple battery case could have prevented the entire issue... Not only tell the news but make it useful as well.
