Man’s E-Cigarette Lands Him In The Hospital After Troubling Malfunction

An unpleasant event recently happened to Cordero Caples, a college student who is studying for a personal trainer, and it might have compromised his future. This event is connected to the e-cigarette. Namely, the e-cigarette has exploded in his face, and has caused him fractured vertebrae, facial fractures and broken teeth among other injuries, the WHBQ reports.

His sister, Colessia Porter has told the WHBQ that the doctors who treat Caples still do not know whether he is going to walk again. Caples’s sister is worried about his future, and says that even though he is in very good shape, and very fit, now everything is put in question. She just hopes that he will recover as soon as possible and fully.

Porter has arranged a GoFundMe page in hope to raise some money and cover the costs of Caples’ medical treatment, and there she gives details about Caples need for a spinal surgery at the Memorial Hospital in Colorado Springs.

The WHBQ has spoken with Mary Grace Burns, a sales person in a smoke shop in Memphis, Tenn., (Caples’ hometown) that sells e-cigarettes. Burns has pointed out right away something wrong in the photo she was shown of Caples’ with the e-cigarette. She explains that the e-cigarettes are made of two main parts, the battery tank and the heating coil that is attached to the battery’s top, turning liquid into vapor. Burns has noticed that Caples was using incompatible setup, since the battery of his e-cigarette was too strong for the coil, and according to her, this was the mistake that caused the incident.

Moreover, Burns claimed for the WHBQ that otherwise, e-cigarettes are not dangerous as long as the user knows how to use them appropriately with their equipment. However, unluckily, there are numerous people who see vaporizing as an easy, little hobby, and do not bother to learn how to properly use the equipment. According to Burns, those who like to use the e-cigarettes should first do an appropriate research before buying them, and thus avoid possibly dangerous malfunctions.
