Cases of Vaping-Related Lung Illness Surge

I've been reading some of the linked articles to the main article, and that's definitely the case. Some dabbers have been hospitalized as well.

This is why I'm so glad that I now grow my own and can make my own concentrates!!!
 
"heat not burn" device has approval by the FDA for tobacco- (you don'thear much about it- do to advertizing restrictions with tabacco)
We call it "dry leaf vaporizer" in cannabis.
Only time will tell- if it actually reduces complications, as anything with an increased temperature in the lungs can be damaging.
 
I was watching news reports on this and I have never had as much “vapor” come out of the Pax 3 or the Ghost MV-1 as they show on those news reports. I’ve never smoked cigarettes and I avoid groups of people who smoke as the smoke kills me ( them too but they don’t believe it yet). In fact, some times with the MV-1, I’m not sure if it’s running . Those ones on TV really cloud up the area.
 
some dude in racine wi just got busted for making and selling vape cartridges. He got hit with about 800 of them. you can bet people are getting ratted on about now.
 
In 2011 I was using the brand Premium E-Cigarettes. You could order high or low mgs of nicotine. But the vapor which was supposed to be water was really PG. However I never took such a big drag off of them or real cigs to blow out clouds of vapor or smoke. And the e-cig did help me to quit smoking cigs. Never missed them hem either.. it wasn't that hard. So I'm thinking that these kids are taking such big drags off the vape pen etc that's where all the smoke comes from. And that's why their lungs are shutting down. Just a thought.
 
The smoke comes from vegetable glycerin. I was using the e-cigs to quit smoking as well. I realized I was just smoking a new (for me) addictive product. People know cigarettes are poison. As is alcohol. But we still love our addictions. My tobacco quitting came when I realized I was spending more on tobacco than food.
All that $hit should be illegal or there shouldn't be another conversation about how bad weed is. Kids will keep using e-cigs as long as they can get their hands on them. The only way to stop them is to make vape liquid illegal. Same goes for THC vape pens. Flower, kief, shatter made correctly, and the like are just different forms of the same thing. When you start adding products to THC vape pens, it makes it an entirely different drug.
 
Yes, from what I read. They are saying vitamin E oil is being used to cut THC (as a thickening agent) to increase company profits. Maybe a possible causative agent in the illnesses.
This type of business action will have consequences
 
Toker1 I wonder if there will be consequences. I was thinking the other day, in the late 1800s we had bad cowboys who ruled with the gun; in the 1920s-80s we had gangsters and the Mafia; now we have corporations, who are the biggest and baddest crooks we've ever had in this country. You can shoot a bad cowboy or gangster, but what do you do to a corporation to take it down????
 
I'm glad it helped you to quit smoking and that you never had any bad lung reaction. Clearly it's not everyone who's having a reaction to every single product.
 
"All that $hit should be illegal or there shouldn't be another conversation about how bad weed is." True dat!! But follow the money... you'll find corrupt corporations who don't give a fk about anyone or anything but profit.
 
Gingerbeard They say it contains a "proprietary breathable air filter which replicates similar features of a cigarette to help cope with behavioral symptoms associated with smoking."

But there's no list of ingredients. I wouldn't buy anything named "Harmless"; it probably has heroin in it...
 
I have been in my industry a long time. People die sometimes on the job and due to product usage. This has happened in the past, and will probably be a factor in the future as well. If a company is proven to be liable, they will not be able to survive the financial implications.
There was one case I remember where courts could not hold an executive liable (in the case of ENRON) I believe this individual ended up committing suicide. Or did they? Anyway, I believe in karmic retribution. Keeps me optimistic about these situations.
