'It can explode and at that point, it can project either the pieces of the lighter itself or the vape pen. '
'Florida authorities are investigating the death of a man whose body was found at home Saturday by firefighters after a vape pen appears to have exploded in his face. '
'They become pieces of flying debris and shrapnel.âAccording to a report by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, there were 195 vape pen explosions from 2009 to 2016. '
'Exploding cell phones, which are also powered by sometimes unpredictably volatile lithium batteries, have caused injuries and even death, according to reports. '
'The cause of death has not yet been determined, but 38-year-old Tallmadge DâElia suffered multiple injuries to his face, officials said. '
This has been an automated message.

Lithium batteries typically vent, and what they vent is flammable.
Vape pens likely do not have engineered vents and was pretty much sealed like a pipe bomb. The lithium battery probably vented (overcharged from bad electronics) but built up pressure instead until a sudden release of pressure aka explosion.

Paying to be addicted to nicotine and cancer-causing agents was the first dumb move. Sounds like this guy fast-forwarded past the slow-whithering-cancer-death from smoking and just went straight to death-by-device.
Darwin always wins.

Or was it an extremely well thought out assassination? Where a man is killed and what appears to be an exploded vape pen in his vicinity takes the blame!

I appreciate your level of paranoia. That had not even occurred to me, and it sounds wholly plausible!
