Are they ment to plug into an Ipad charger?

Charger is almost exactly the same as an iPad charger. My father smokes e cigarettes and e cigars. The charger itself just has the prongs and a USB port. Then there's an extra part that attaches it to the charger.

The charger is identical to the one I received with my iPhone.

My dad has up to three charging at a time. Now I'm fearful. :/

Then again we live in the states so our outlets are different, I think.

Yes the outlets are differents as is the voltage.

People have no common sense. Plug stuff into what it's meant to be plugged in with or use batteries.

When these incidents are investigated, it's almost universally found that the charger the person is using isn't approved for the device. You cannot mix and match chargers and batteries. I've been using ecigs for 3 years, never had one explode ever. But I always use approved chargers at the correct voltage.
