They may look like travel shampoo bottles and smell like bubblegum, but after a few hundred puffs, some disposable, electronic cigarettes and vape pods release higher amounts of toxic metals than older e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, according to a study from the University of California, Davis. For example, one of the disposable e-cigarettes studied released more lead during a day’s use than nearly 20 packs of traditional cigarettes.
It is true that vaping does’t have the immediate and perceivable negative effects on your body that cigarettes have. However, inhaling chemicals into your lungs is just clearly a bad idea. Metals? Wow yeah that makes your brain dumb. Have you noticed the mental decline around you? I sure have.
I used to smoke. Then I went to “ecigs.” Then the mints… and now I just do other drugs haha. I’m not going to tell someone not to do what they want to their body… but they should be honest, and educated about their choices—and not just making up excuses and ignoring medical science.
Im not making excuses, Im saying there are nuances to the use of, and therefore proper testing of, the device.
I used to make my own coils back in the day when there were juice bar shops. If you build a robust enough coil then the coil will well outlast the life of the cotton you put in it. Therefore theoretically the coil will not be heating up or being heated enough times to where the coil releasing metal particulate is a concern. If you build a flimsy coil and heat it up too high, or use it for too long past a reasonable lifetime, or run it dry, then youre going to be inhaling metal particulate as it breaks from the coil.
Therefore, if while testing these disposable devices they are just running the thing hot and fast as a matter of testing, then the results will show significantly more metal in the vapor than would have ever been there under normal use. And most places testing vapes dont care if their methods make it look worse than it actually is, because, just like with smoking, they get way more attention in pointing out how bad it is for you (in comparison to more middling perspectives that paint it as safer than smoking)
The most dangerous thing in the world of vaping rn IMO are weed cartridges and disposables. The “coil” in those is just the thinest piece of kanthal you can imagine. What makes it dangerous is that people have popularized taking “blinkers”, or running the device out to its 10 second safety limit point. They think its a safety for weed inhalation, but its quite the opposite. Its a safety to prevent that tiny wire from blowing itself out. More blinkers = more kanthal particulate that youre inhaling instead of weed. The device will keep going so long as two nubs of that wire can still make contact somehow, even if youve already blown out some of the wire
How can you talk about “ignoring science” while making claims like “inhaling chemicals into your lungs is just clearly a bad idea?” You may want to look up a basic definition of “chemical.”
Just because someone in the medical field conducts a study and publishes it doesn’t mean they’re correct or that their findings should automatically be taken as truth. That’s literally what science is, questioning everything. Medical science also told us that the cure for mental illness was to scrape out parts of people’s frontal lobe or shock their brain with thousands of volts of electricity and we can see how that turned out.
Nicotine usage is such a polarizing topic that gets lots of money flowing in from both sides with both sides expecting favorable results, so I absolutely take every one of these studies with a grain of salt.
Yes they do and every test ends up saying bad things, do you disagree? I would love to see the tests that show that vape products are not bad for you. Please link me.
But to be clear, I’m not telling you not to do it… We all do things that are bad for us. My point is people often say vaping is perfectly fine, and they know it’s not. Is it better or worse than cigarettes? I don’t really see how that has to do with it. You either do it or you do not do it.
Just say to me, “ I understand this company selling me this product is interested in me becoming addicted to this product, and does not actually have any concern about the chemicals that go into my body. I do this because I enjoy it, and it is my body” …. And I will completely agree with you
It’s true, thank you, we shouldn’t really be inhaling things. I’m not trying to criticize drug use – you do what you want to do and that’s fine with me… But the inhalation of anything that’s not prescribed by a doctor is very dangerous. As far as weed is concerned, you can eat it. Nicotine comes in mints and gums, for people trying to quit cigarettes. But nicotine in general is a drug that nobody should be using for any purpose at all. Nicotine has no benefit.
And if anyone is reading this comment and thinking that nicotine helps you with your stress, I very much understand. You should ask your doctor about propranolol, which is a very low dose blood pressure medication that can assist with anxiety and all of those “I need a cigarette,“ kind of things.
Note:
If you are struggling with insurance issues, you can get 90 day supplies of propranolol pretty easily through a clinic or through one of those online clinics. If for some reason you are not able to Locate any of those services, if you are in the United States, please reach out to me directly through private message and I can help you find a solution.
Perfect logic here. Everything must be dangerous because it has “chemicals” and isn’t well tested. Have you done a scientific study on the chemicals you breathe such as your local air supply? It’s definitely dangerous unless you have and I suggest you stop inhaling it until you do.

I assume you did your own Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry and so you know what you’re talking about? Because, ya know, evidence and science.
But if you didn’t it’s totally cool to just say “I don’t actually care, I like to do it” and I’ll be 100% on your side.

How do you feel about vaccines?
Just fine because they’re well tested.
So you most definitely do not vape because it’s not well tested, right?
People study the shit out of vapes what are you talking about.

I don’t vape, putting thins in your lungs is bad for you. It’s very heavily studied.
