Youth gets badly burned after e-cigarette blows up in his face.

Anyone ever here of this happening? Thoughts on this? Worried about it? Inexperience and carelessness by the user?
I was curious if this was just random so did a quick google search and it is surprising how many results of this kind showed up. So if people aren't following safety, it says something about these things anyway. You know most people skim over safety things and the little pieces of paper that say "read first". So what is the answer, tighter regulations, which is what they are pushing here or something else. Human nature is always more is better, we do it with everything. This forum, perfect example, OC our everything we can, modify our cars to go faster. Should they design these things so they can only output so much reducing this risk? Its like "do not mix red bull with alcohol" sticking that kind of warning on something just makes the irresponsible ones out there want to try it.
The simple answer is there's a WHOLEEEEEEEE lot of idiots out there who will never fully appreciate the danger they're putting themselves into when using sub-ohm coils. Then there's a whole lot of very smart, dodgy characters taking advantage of this untapped pool of idiots by selling them 6A batteries to go with their 0.15ohm coils (which need MINIMUM 25A) and hence... explosions xD
Realistically what can happen? Ideally all mod makers incorporate some sort of functionality into their mods which will measure battery capability and adjust wattage accordingly. Likewise lower-end mods with in-built batteries should just say ''incompatible coil'' when some retard screws a TFV4 with 0.15ohm coils onto his iStick 10w. Unfortunately this I assume is expensive or otherwise difficult... so really... I dont know. It appears vaping's success is the biggest issue, when people see me on campus at uni blowing smoke clouds while I head to my next class they think ''wow that's cool'', and they want to get involved. Unfortunately without a pretty in-depth knowledge of ohm's law and battery safety stuff how can a noobie be expected to put together a safe build? I learnt everything about ohm's law in A-Level physics... how many people actually take physics for 2 years? 5% of the population? maybe 2%?
I'm rambling now but yeah

Maybe the constant news stories of people blowing up will scare enough people away that only the people willing to take the time to learn this stuff will vape. Who knows.
