mark my words.. vapor cartridges are probably way more dangerous to lungs than smoke

I've had a severe lung infection for 3+ months due to vaping and am still recovering.

I know its just an anecdote but people YOU ONLY GET ONE PAIR OF LUNGS and they heal differently then other parts of your body (or they don't heal at all - COPD is TERMINAL).

Agreed. Quitting smoking (THC) and vaping have been the two healthiest decisions I’ve ever made. I was also having breathing issues, though thankfully never as acute an issue as you did.

Did you ever use a bong for smoking or vaping?

Idk about cannabis but I hear this all the time with cigarettes vs vaping and I just know it's a bunch of FUD.

I can not smoke cigarettes, never liked them, always got headaches from them. With vaping quality liquid I have no issues and I'm a heavy user. Not saying it's good for you but claiming it is worse or the same as literal smoke is just wrong

I won’t argue thar vaping is worse, but I will say that having less immediate discomfort at the time of use is not a solid basis for concluding it is not.

I'm talking about cartridges, which often throw chunks of superhot oil onto the lungs. let's wait for the research in 20 years that says it's also terrible.

Not sure how cannabis vapes work, but for the "I enjoy and/or am addicted to nicotine, but would rather not inhale CO, tars, particulates, etc" type, if you are vaping any oils, you're doing something wrong.

That sort of vape liquid is nicotine in a suspension of food/medical grade PG/VG and likely some small bit of flavoring in the same. It's essentially a tiny version of the fog machines that blast out vapor in nightclubs.

correct. yet they're still being sold en masse.

Surprised Rosin hasn’t taken off much yet. It should be the cleanest extraction method.

Most of the farm bill compliant edibles, at least the higher end ones, are made from rosin.
