January 14th is a day that Andrew Hall will never forget. Early in the morning while getting ready for work, the father of three was using a vape pen, also known as vaporizer, when the pen exploded. This caused damage to his face, teeth, and bathroom where he was getting ready.
Andrew took to Facebook to warn other vapers and friends about his dental emergency tragedy.
“I’ve been doing this for about a year now and assure you I did not do anything I wasn’t supposed to, but it exploded in my face. I’ve lost at least 7 teeth, 2nd degree burns to face and neck and has been pulling chunks of plastic, teeth and foreign objects from mouth, throat, and lips,”
“I was lucky and there was a huge amount of damage to the room in my house I was in as well.” he stated. Andrew continued to post to Facebook with pictures and updates on his condition.
Andrew has already lost 7 teeth upon impact and more could be damaged upon further investigation. The second degree burns to his face and bathroom walls will forever be a reminder of this day for Andrew.

Andrew took to Facebook letting friends and family know his updates and that he will no longer be vaping. He wants people to know that he wont vape and heads warning to those that still do.
“I vape but I no longer do and I hope to possibly sway those that do to maybe reevaluate or find other methods of smoking,” he said. “I just want to bring to light that they can explode without warning. I would have said ‘no way that’s possible’ until now.”
Maybe his tragedy will help others to quit before they could be in the same situation.
