Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - After an e-cigarette exploded in the pocket of a 25-year-old, the man was flown by helicopter to a special clinic in Cologne on Wednesday.
According to the fire department, the man suffered severe burns.
However, there was no danger to life.
How the accident in Düsseldorf came about is unclear, according to the announcement.
In contrast to classic cigarettes, no tobacco is burned in e-cigarettes, but a liquid is evaporated with the help of a battery.
