From 2009 to today there have been 199 reported e-cigarette explosions, moreover, there have been 77 in 2016 already, which is 30 more than 2015’s total. E-cigarette explosions have occurred all over the United States, Europe, and Asia, however, nearly 30 percent of all reported e-cig explosions occurred on the West Coast of the U.S., totaling 58 incidents since 2009.
