Okay? And this happens... how often? Cell phones blow up sometimes too. So do car engines. Terrible accidents happen all of the time. Is this your argument for why cigarettes are somehow safer?

Now certainly, the jury is still out, but so far as we know, based on the science, vaping IS healthier. That you can quote some anomalies where bad things happen to people using electronic devices (imagine that!) means very little in the overall view of what we can call safe®.
