yeah, the 2 bigs have soaked up a couple companies. NOT the vaping industry as a whole.

majority of vape customers aren't buying the big tobacco trash.

watch some more MSM dumbass.

People seem to have an easier time weaning off ecigarettes than traditional cigarettes.

What their essentially doing is turning it back to an underground thing, which is very easy to do, you want to vape? It does not take a fucking scientist

Exactly. What is it, 2-3 ingredients depending on how you blend it? Maybe a couple more if you want different flavors. It's been years since I vaped (and quit a decade long habit easily) so I need to figure out how this stuff is made again and push this anytime someone complains about this. Just make your own.

that's the thing about this. if you can do math, and buy the components, you can make your own juice.

even jewgle will give you resources for making the stuff at home.

i think that's a pretty big risk to BT. but even worse, any company that wants to mix and sell juice, can. the equipment is easy enough to get. vaping is killing big tobacco, and they're having a hard time meeting all the settlement agreements now.

you are literally inhaling water vapor

Wrong. Many of them contain many other things that you wind up inhaling. Not saying they are as bad as cigarettes but it isn't just water vapor. Most contain water, flavor (which could be a lot of different things) and propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin.

for someone who claims to have been mixing their own fluids OP is ignorant on what is in them.... propylene glycol vegetable glycerin nicotine and flavorinzzz is a much more accurate answer. the PG is a primary ingredient in the pet safe radiator fluid, it's FDA approved for use as a heat transfer fluid and you will find it as an ingredient if you start reading food packages. the VG is whatever the flavorinzzz I question because there are so many options and it's hard to speak for them all.

This is true. In addition the media labels all four of the following activities as vaping

Boiling thc from plant matter using a convection vaporizer like the Volcano

Boiling propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, candy flavorings and nicotine

Boiling thc distillate thinned with terpenes

Boiling vegetable glycerin , propylene glycol and emulsified thc distillate

If anyone is dying, it will be distillate cartridges thinned with rubbish terpenes, and sold in an area where pot is illegal.

I used vegetable glycol (vg) because it's not nearly as harsh as pg, but some prefer the "more like a drag from a cigarette" feel of pg, a lot use a blend of each, but a juice with a 100% pg base is in my opinion not enjoyable. I noticed that certain flavors would produce a harsher hit too. Nigger, you can call me out for whatever reason you think is clever, but my summation of my story is what it is, so suck a dick.

propelene glycol and vegetable glycerine are USDA certified products safe for human consumption. PG actually fights infections in the lungs.

The shit is HARMLESS. HARMLESS.

Safe for consumption in your stomach. So is steak, but try breathing it dumbass.

EDIT: And your PG fights infections was from one 1942 study in mice where they sprayed them with PG and then the flu and they lived. There was no follow up study as to if it was bad to inhale. I mean, peroxide would probably kill infection in your lungs but inhaling it would be fucking terrible.

Mainstream news has been pretty forthcoming about the fact that the deaths were related to black market weed oil cartridges, not e-cigarettes. Only the FDA and certain corporations are jumping the gun on ecigs.
