If you treat it with the same care that you would any other battery device (think, cellphone) it should be fine. That means: no extreme temperatures, for vaping especially TURN OFF if not in use, and observe care when charging which really means keep an eye on it and to be extra safe, don't charge overnight, you should be fine.
They type of "intense" battery failures you see are most often seen in mods without protections (mechanical mods) and/or during cloud chasing competitions, OR if someone doesn't USE safety protections (like LOCKING the mod while carrying it so it doesn't repeatedly fire, etc.) If you follow basic safety guidelines you will be fine. But, it's good that you are asking and wanting to be cautious.

Welcome to vaping.
