Have you ever seen video of people’s vapes exploding in their pocket? Well 9 times out of 10 it’s not the vape but the loose batteries in their pocket getting shorted by keys or coins or something.
The problem with those lithium batteries is that they are very high drain batteries, a regular double A will just get warm, lithium explodes
