Josh Hamilton, the victim, is recovering from severe burns on his right thigh.
He was giving me money, he put his hand in his pocket, so suddenly there was fire.
I was like, What was that?
You have a bomb in your pocket?
I was like that!
You carry your bomb in your pocket?
Then another customer took him to a hospital, he said.
Third degree burns all up and down my leg.
Just had an Ecig battery blow up and catch fire inside my pocket!
Ouch ow ow ow, Hamilton posted on Facebook on Saturday afternoon.
But its too soon to tell I think.
The FDA has been considering doing so.
Scientific studies have shown conflicting data on whether using the devices aids smoking cessation of traditional cigarettes.
In the meantime, the use of e-cigarettes is on the rise.
This isnt the first instance of an e-cigarette battery catching fire.
He wanted to die.
That is how much pain he was in, Ty Greers father Perry told the outlet.
The burns covered Austin Marks right leg and hand.
He said consumers use batteries or chargers other than whats recommended, and that can be the problem.
