E-cigarettes are exploding in people’s faces

If you are a moron and don't observe battery safety then, yes, this could happen.

Pro-tip: don't use a mech mod if you don't know wtf you are doing.
 
Or they buy the cheapest China knock off they can find at a dodgy smoke shop.
This kind of news should make it clear that it's cheap devices and dodgy batteries causing the explosions because this kind of thing appearing in the mainstream media just makes vaping look like a bad thing.

Seems to me like 'Staff writer' needed a cheap and clickbaity idea for today's article.

saw some seriously hardcore e-sigs in a mega-mall here in Russia yesterday, really don't know what you would need something like that for.

Pro-tip 2: ensure any device you buy has a power cut off feature.

Pro-tip 3: ensure all devices, liquids etc are packed away out of reach of children.

Actually just use a regulated mod, I don't see the need for mech mods anymore.

In Russia you don't vape e-sigs, e-sigs vape you!

Kiddies winding their own sub-ohm coils on batteries that can deliver 10 - 30A.. what could possibly go wrong?

but why mod the stuff in the first place, is the smoke not enough anymore? whats the issue?

The devices, the parts you screw your atomiser onto, are commonly referred to as mods.

Has nothing to do with modifying anything ;)

Exactly. I doubt a single legit unmodified product has ever 'exploded'.

How does something blow the teeth from your gums when all that passes your lips is a hollow mouthpiece.

If you are not careful with the batteries it can very easily happen:

Never understood this eCigs thing. Probably too much porn. If you're gonna do it, nothing beats the real thing. ;)

It's very helpful for people addicted and suffering from the 'real thing' because it has a similar action, satisfies the nicotine cravings and is not nearly as dangerous.

It accounts for 50% of their entire military strategy: smoke and mirrors...
