    An Atlanta woman plugs an electronic cigarette into her computer's USB port. Next, in her own words: "Kaboom!"

    Wilkowski claims that she had simply plugged the e-cigarette into her computer's USB port in order to charge it.

    This particular e-cigarette was a Seego EHit, manufactured in China.

    The owner of the store where Wilkowski bought her EHit told WSB-TV that he no longer carries the brand.

    Some might think that e-cigarettes are no different from cell phones. Occasionally, they catch fire.

    Yet the problem with the e-cigarette industry is that it seems relatively unregulated. This means that users have to be especially careful about what they buy and how they use it.

    Of course, it's an electronic-type of cigarette. Users can't be safe from e-cigs that are something electronic and at the same time, produce gas.
