Yes, it can. A very vigorous fire that is NOT easy to put out.

I use these overnight but still never leave a battery charging when I leave the house.

eGo and eGo type batteries are never safe to leave charging overnight. There have been multiple ECF members who have experienced the horror of an exploding e-cigarette.

These are just some of the results that popped up in a thread title search for "eGo exploded." I'm sure if I'd typed in "blew up" or "fire," that would have gotten more results.
Judging by the number of reports on ECF of exploding eGo's, it is probably a 1:10,000 chance of happening, based on the millions of eGo's in use, and by people who likely charge them overnight. If you want peace of mind, buy a Li-Po sack to charge them/it in.

And a lamp timer. Egos are a beginner battery and it's normally user error. I've used egos since I've joined here and they've been fine. Helps to buy a good brand like Joyetech, Vision...
Yeah this whole thing has really freaked me out. My egos are pretty much all unbranded. I'm a simple person, they work well and satisfy me so why not go for the cheapest option? I'm actually a massive knock off fan in general life and I had no idea till this moment that could be dangerous with e cigs.
I actualy feel sick and I'm really I've left this crap on charge around my cats and in my room which is literally covered in books and paper, the whole damn room could have went up in flames!
I'm really discusted in myself and I don't know how I feel about vaping anymore. I'm travelling abroad on Thursday and I don't have time to even order a branded product.
Gah. I feel really awful right now.

I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. You'll be fine. Just keep an eye on the charger and charge during the day.
Where are you going?

If you like the eGo size, then the Joye eGo-c and eGo-c upgrade batts have the best short and charge protection there is. We've had tech people here that have tried to blow them up and they've been unsuccessful. That isn't so of the eGo-t (although now that has better protection than it did before the one incident reported here, but still not quite as good as the Joye eGo-c batts), or any of the off brand and knockoffs.
I have replaced mine as they die with only Joye eGo-c batts - usually the 'upgrades'. But even then I never leave them on the charger overnight or when I'm out.
Many of the 'incidents' were with clones or with people not using the chargers that match the battery. When I buy replacements, I'll usually throw in a few Joye chargers as well. A well protected battery with the right charger never gets hot or even warm while charging.
I run a Qtip in the 'well' of the batt - where the center pin is, each time before charging, and also keep the charger pin clean.

I'm travelling around Spain, Barcelona and salou mainly as my long stop off points. I'm hoping to find a vape shop in Barcelona
I'm sorry to be really rude but I didn't understand this post, I'm pretty tired from night shift and I think I'm going cuckoo, is there any way you could reword this? I'm 90% sure I'm going crazy
I think Kent was just saying that if you like eGo batteries (made by Joye) the latest ones have better built-in protection against shorts and overcharging. Even if you use the best batteries, no Li-Ion or LiMn style battery should be left to charge all night. He also mentioned that he cleans the well, or the atomizer socket on the battery because they tend to build up leaked juice (from the atomizer) that can leak further down into the battery. Clean batteries work better and live longer lives. It's all good information.
I'm sure Kent will expound on his post.

Here's one a short distance away, though I understand there are several in Barcelona as well.

This place even carries the ProVari! Wow. Their prices on clones aren't too bad either.

I don't even charge my NiMh batteries (AA and AAA size for flashlights and my guitar belt pack transmitter) overnight even though the instructions say they can be left in the charger until used.
I do believe that a timer on a Li-ion charger is a good idea. If it's set to cut off after the normal time it takes to charge from 3.2v to 4.2v you add a margin of safety in case you get called away and aren't there to unplug when charging is done. Defective batteries can pop during a normal charge cycle, but leaving one trickle charging on a charger that doesn't stop (because of component failure) is an exposure that could be prevented with a timer.
I usually go no farther than the next room while my batteries are charging, but there are times when I'm outside for a while and wouldn't hear the pop. A metal box is a good enclosure for your charger. If it won't burn, the metal box will contain the heat if necessary. Otherwise, if you are lucky it's just a burned counter top. The catastrophic failure videos on YouTube made a believer out of me. Batteries are getting better and safer, but there's no guarantee of perfection or complete safety.

Thanks for explaining that after reading your post then reading his I did get it
Sorry Kent please blame my sleepiness and dyslexia and not your wording ability, I'm groggy!
You know, I've also just realised I have no way to tell which chargers came with which battery D:
Oh god this is like a nightmare icant wake up from hahaha. I need to invest in some good kit, god I've probably spent more than a good started kit on knock offs anyway.... I'm really not the brightest
