    Noting the flaws in mythology is kind of important to science…And the article doesn’t do it so people in the comments are.

        Buddy, do you really think everyone criticizing this uses vapes?

        Do you think it’s impossible to criticize points you agree with? I prefer misinformation getting called out

          I don’t see misinformation being called out with EVIDENCE. this is like people complaining about vaccines.

            Is it? I think it’s worth pointing out that they only tested 3 models (?) from the same company. We have no idea if it can be extrapolated so the headline is hyperbolic. It’s like saying apples potatoes are poisonous but you only tested 3 farms owned by the same company for poison.

            Regardless, I am pro-regulation for both safety and environmental impact. They created an insane amount of ewaste already and now some have full color LCDs…on a device you’re supposed to throw away in a month

              Is it really your opinion that different brands are significantly different when it comes to health concerns? Do you know what’s in it? I mean, did you do a test or are you relying on a manufacturer to be honest? Since you’ve already said they didn’t test these other models – does that mean you are OK to use those other models?

              It just seems a bit ridiculous how upset people some get when they’re told that vaping is not good for them. It’s obviously not good for them.

              I would like to point out to anybody reading this that I have never said not to do it, just admit you don’t know what’s in it and you like to do it regardless.

                Can’t say what all the comments are like now, but at the time of you posting that there was literally no one defending vaping in the comments

        Failing to read the whole article creates mythology.

        Most of the disposable e-cigarettes tested released markedly higher amounts of metals and metalloids into vapors than earlier, refillable vapes.
