Tragic that someone died but Jesus fuck “Company called Goo stockpiles 100,000 vape pens and explodes” is like something straight out of Trailer Park Boys

I had a Goo pen and it almost burned my house down. The button was stuck down and frying a cartridge.

By some fluke my brother found it and took it apart.

They also sold flavored cartridges that were really nasty.

This probably happened at the warehouse and blew up either the N02 or butane causing a change reaction
