A 14-year-old has been blinded in one eye and damaged in the the other due to an e-cigarette explosion after a Vape shop clerk in a Brooklyn mall plugged the vaporizer into the wrong battery.

The incident occurred on April 5 at Plaza Vapes kiosk in Kings Plaza Mall.

“In my left eye, I have a cut through the cornea and I can’t see out of it, and on my right eye, the cornea was cut halfway through and I can see a little bit,” Leor Domatov told Daily News.

He also suffered chemical burns on both hands, “It’s very painful,” he said.

Domatov said he was sampling one of the devices.

He gave it to me to hold and when I was holding it, it exploded in my hands and my face.
