My vape battery exploded on new usb port

I bought a 5 port usb 5v, when charge it my vape battery exploded, luckily nothing caught on fire, but its was scary, why did this happen, what charge output too strong.

Battery charger needs 5-10W through USB, don’t use a usb splitter. They’re meant for 2.5w and under.

Maybe the battery was fake?

Always buy official products.

I don’t trust all the fake ■■■■ from China on Alibaba

With what did you charge the battery? You need to use a wall usb charger with min 2amps or 10W.

yea realize the voltage was too high, i ask on a vaping forum. omg i did not know that.

Do you know any usb chargers that has 5 ports that safe for vape batteries.

You mean wall to 5usb? Its too expensive better get 1 10+W usb port.

This is one of the best brands, they sell on Amazon:

You can also use your cellhone charger if its 10+W, 2+amp. Thats what I use.

The Amps in the wall are too high. My medical marijuana place (which I don’t go to anymore) told me that the charger would explode if I put it in the wall or in the car charger. They said to use computer USB

It depends on how many amps your charger is.

All 5 ports on amazon the volts is to high i need 4.2 and lower i guess i stick my regular usb port. Its okay

Which volts? All usbs are 5v, your vape charger converts it to 4.2v. 4.2v usb doesnt exist, only 5v.

It exploded maybe because its a cheap battery. I told you to get big brands like Panasonic, Sony, LG etc
I never had an issue with my Panasonic and I have 12 18650 Panasonic 3400mah batteries since 2015.

We told you not to use those cheap batteries. Cheaping out on some stuff is dangerous.
