Another few E-Cig Fires in the news

Investigators: E-Cigarette Led to Fire in Sparks High Gym

These devices are safe, but you need to be sure that they are no modified, using only parts made for the model, approved chargers for the model and that you follow all the safety guidelines for the device.
