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.
