I’ve heard the water vapor line over and over again and it’s false. It’s propylene glycol. This is not water. It is a solvent, one used for dissolving organ tissues to leave behind only the connective structures for use in growing organs from stem cells. It has many other uses as well including being the chemical that makes fog machines work.
It’s not water vapor. I doubt that it’s very dangerous but it’s a flat falsehood to call it water.
Vegtable Glycerin - VG is a humectant and a big part of most peoples lives. Its in your food, drink, shampoo, lotion, cigar humidors!, etc Its used in livestock as well. You can buy it at walmart off the shelf in USP grade.
if VG is dangerous to humans, humans sure havent been acting like it as we have been super consumers of it for some time.
VG - NOT PG(propylene glycol) is normally the sole carrier for nicotine when vaped. sometimes a bit, and i stress a tiny bit of PG is added for "throat hit" and to thin the liquid for certain kinds of delivery. Is PG a solvent? i donno(its not btw) - but its worlds apart from say.. acetone. PG does not act like a solvent in my experience, but im not working on a microscopic level dissolving tissue from stem cells.. thats going to take something very very delicate i imagine - and if what you say is true - maybe thats why they chose PG? i could mix PG with sugar and kool aid and drink it by the glass - all good.

They dissolve entire organs not stem cells. They grow the stem cells on the structural tissue left behind. PG is like 30% of the of the mix in most vaping liquids. Still, water is 0% of the formula. The needed molecules simply are not present. It is false to claim it’s water vapor. It’s a flat lie or pure ignorance to say it’s water. The only water present is in the exhaled vapor because the hydroxyl groups in the glycerin pull it from the tissue in your lungs. It’s still glycerine.

It's supreme douchery though, cringe on display.

It is the CIA deep world order displaying its power of the big lie as it begins impeachment of Trump. Doesn’t matter what evidence Trump has, CIA can induce mass psychosis via repetition and ‘credibility’ then Kangaroo Trump and people will accept it as history like any other event squashed for opposing the post war order.
There’s no such thing as vaping related illness. There was a huge jump in vape use once Juul hit market and gained a tremendous share of a crowded market from nothing very fast. Doctors and scientists aren’t supposed to draw conclusions from correlations to invent politically -charged diseases. All we know now is all we will ever know is a huge jump in use had some manufactured correlations like more doctor visits if you have the sniffles. Anyone who comes into the office claiming a sickness will be asked if they vape and the vaping will be assumed as the cause or ‘related to’ because that’s how psychoses works.Docs of course won’t manufacture a breathing-related illness hysteria.
This it is safe to assume that Juul user science to design the most addictive vape possible, just as big tobacco lost its court case when documents proving it used science to make the most addictive cigarette possible magically appeared on someone’s doorstep so CIA Corp could force its way on Tobacco’s boards.
It will do the same to Juul/Altria: show the pain gov can induce, regulate the market so that no other or new entrants can afford to compete with Juul (who gets a new cia board member) and a CIA funded and owned competitor can create the illusion of choice and nonmonopoly; the lifecycle of every commodity/security market in liberal democracies is similar: many new entrants, few use elite science to perfect the product, CIA order invites itself to a board seat and access to infinite money and power networks or the alternative is they sabotage you, indict you on fictional bs, and take your business anyway.

Inhaling vaporized oils isn't great for your lungs, but it cannot be compared to how bad smoking is. I used a vape to quit smoking, then quit vaping as well. I don't think either should be banned.
This new hysteria is absolutely horseshit though. They are a much healthier alternative to smoking.
But they are detrimental in the way that people who NEVER smoked are using them and assuming they are risk free. They are not. Being better than smoking and being risk free are very far apart.
Just treat them like any other controlled substance. Whatever the age of majority is should be when you can buy them.
