This tragedy occurred in North Yorkshire, England. After a long week of work, a man named "Paul" was making his way home on Friday evening.
A 39-year-old British man attempted to use his electronic cigarette, but it failed to work. He tried again and the device suddenly exploded in his face. The terrifying incident resulted in the loss of seven teeth and a long, painful recovery period.

Just like a horror movie.
I tried to take a drag from my electronic cigarette, but it didn't respond, which was odd. So I tried again and it exploded," said the victim. There was blood everywhere, and their mouth was severely injured, to the point that they couldn't ascertain if there was a hole in their brain.
He added, "I must have given people an impression as if I came out of a horror movie." He knocked on the window of his office and called an employee for help. When he was taken to the hospital, his tongue had swollen so much that he was choking.
Paul lost three teeth and four more were severely damaged in the explosion, causing them to need replacement. In total, Paul needs to have seven teeth implanted.
Chinese batteries
Paul is questioning the Chinese batteries in the e-cigarette product he purchased on Amazon after the battery exploded. He is considering legal action against his manufacturer, "EFEST." The British man said, "For the past ten years, I thought that information about e-cigarette explosions could only be occasionally heard online, and only occurred in the United States or were news fabricated or exaggerated by anti-e-cigarette individuals or groups.
This is not the first time an e-cigarette has exploded, with at least two previous incidents, even resulting in fatalities. In 2014, a 62-year-old British man died in a fire that may have been caused by his e-cigarette exploding. In 2019, a 29-year-old American died after his e-cigarette exploded and shattered his carotid artery.
