Any of You Guys Into Vaping?

Indeed brudda, indeed.

Have you seen the lungs of someone who's only ever vaped and not smoked brother?

Michael Mosely vaped for a month for one of his specials. Everything was measured from the start. No damage. No impact on the lung's ability to heal itself either... but there was no damage.

Not questioning your decision; I support it in fact. Just pointing out that your reasoning is flawed in this case. In every other case, no argument there.


100%.

In a pinch 'though, as a general rule of thumb IIRC, flavours with "cream" in the description are more-likely to have no-no oils in them.

Good luck with that. Are you 12? Because this is teenager response at best!!! Hope you don’t stroke out at some point or develop COPD and can’t breathe out. Second that’s a very ignorant view of the damage to the whole circulatory system- not just the lungs. You’re literally mainlining poison right into heart. Just because something doesn’t affect one person immediately doesn’t mean damage isn’t happening, and to compare two separate people is absolutely terrible logic.

Hmm... "teenager response at best!!!"? Yikes. You must know an awful-lot about the subject.

The vapour does zero damage to the lungs. Zero.

The ingredients apart from nicotine are food-grade, things billions of peeps eat every day... in much-larger quantities too. *

That leaves nicotine. Caused no issues for thousands of years and then suddenly circa the '50s things started to change. 3->5000 harmful-and-carcinogenic chemicals started to be added to plain tobacco. The rest is history of course.

* I'm speaking for myself and all those who make their own juice with judicious care of course. The minuscule handful who "accidentally" purchase vape juice containing vitamin E acetate (the worst apparently) and die (usually 2 or 3 teenage girls a year AFAICT) are unfortunate victims of nefarious activity, analogous IMHO to the young holiday-makers who get poisoned by ethanol in their drink cocktails in places such as Thailand.

If there's a flaw in my apparently-12-year-old logic, please point it out to me brother. As I implied, I suspect you've only seen one side of the story.

You go ahead and keep on believing that. Denial is a river in Africa.

Let’s say a guy, who spent his formative years on the business end of a bong doing one-hitters, but hasn't been “high” in decades, routinely travels to a THC embracing state and occasionally comes home with vape cartridges to stock the pantry. What would be the recommendation for a vape device to partake of the cartridges that he may, or may not, have smuggled to his home state? Asking for that deviant friend…

 

[Monkey Man]

I don't know anything about cartridges brother 'cause after initially buying premixed juice for a few months I switched to making my own.

I assume cartridges have something to do with either disposables or or the "MTL" (mouth-to-lung IIRC) method of vaping (as opposed to inhaling into your lungs rather than just into your mouth first), neither of which I have any experience with. I assume that 'cause of the, I'm guessing, low-liquid capacity, something you see with disposables and of course MTL 'cause you're not sucking in a lungful at a time.

Assuming you can get the liquid out, your options then open up dramatically. I'd recommend a bog-standard system comprising a "mod" (the body) and a compatible tank / atomiser. Should be plenty of good options below $100. I've come to trust GeekVape in this price range.

HTH Indy.

Welcome Mitchyy1.

That posts's straight out of Central Casting mate.

... and I've given Mitchy 9 months now to do something human but no dice.

I'm late to the party but any battery with a 510 connector and variable voltage. You want to run those no more than 3V. 2.5-2.8v is better

You really seem to know what you're talking about. I'd expect nothing less from a serial vapist
