What are Faulty E-Cig Burns?
An e-cigarette can cause serious injuries, including faulty e-cig burns, to the user and anyone nearby. These burns can be extremely serious, resulting in chronic pain and permanent cosmetic damage. Many people feel they need to undergo plastic surgery in order to resolve the scarring. In some cases, this works, but many people are left too seriously scarred to ever fully restore their appearance.
In addition to exploding e-cigs, there is also the risk of other fires developing due to electrical faults. This can occur when the electronic cigarette is plugged in and charging. If you leave your e-cig plugged in overnight, the chance of an electronic failure occurring is increased. This can easily cause fires to start, or the cigarette to explode.
What Causes E-Cigarettes to Explode?
Electronic cigarettes will normally explode due to a failure with the lithium battery. These batteries can suffer from ‘thermal runaway’, which means they will overheat. This can release a specific kind of gas which will set alight, causing the e-cig to explode.
What Else Can Go Wrong with E-Cigarettes?
Another kind of electrical failure which vaporisers can suffer from is down to incorrect chargers. These chargers can be too powerful, causing the e-cigarette to overheat. In some case, the e-cig won’t explode, but emit a jet of flame causing serious burns.
What Kinds of E-Cig Injuries are Common in the UK?
Whenever a faulty e-cigarette explodes, it can cause a range of injuries. These can include:
- Minor to Serious Faulty E-Cig Burns.
- Lacerations and Bruising.
- Broken Bones.
- Broken Teeth.
These injuries can be extremely painful and cause long-term cosmetic damage to the user.
How Much Compensation Could I Receive for Faulty E-Cig Burns in the UK?
The level of personal injury compensation that you will be able to claim depends on the severity of your injuries. The more serious your burns, the more compensation you will be entitled to. As such, the level of money you can receive is tied to the pain and suffering you have been forced to undergo, and the long-term health concerns you will be left with.
Here at Tylers Solicitors, we can help you to make successful personal injury claims against anyone responsible for your injuries. Some of the factors that will be taken into consideration include:
- Level of Personal Suffering.
- Long-Term Impacts of the Faulty E-Cig Burns.

How Common are E-Cigarette Explosion Injuries?
Only a fraction of e-cigarettes are faulty, but if used incorrectly there is the risk that any e-cig can explode. If left to overcharge or overheat, e-cigs can explode.
What Injuries are E-Cigarette Manufacturers and Retailers Responsible For?
Both manufacturers and retailers have a responsibility to ensure that the goods they provide are safe. Any vaporiser which catches fire or explodes through no fault of the user is unsafe. Any injuries caused by a faulty e-cig are the manufacturer’s fault.
I Was Injured By Someone Else’s E-Cig, Can I Claim for Compensation?
If you’ve been injured by someone else’s e-cigarette, then you can claim compensation. If the e-cigarette was faulty, you will be able to claim against the manufacturer. Whatever kind of injury you’ve suffered due to the owner’s behaviour, you will be able to claim against them.
