    Hard to argue with a solid argument such as "lol." You really showed them who's right.

        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.

          Because it’s the same headline on every article. Also, someone else posted the study.

          Like I said, the three companies named there are not the same companies, but you claim they are, and are sourcing it from the same Chinese sweatshop, even tho they don't even seem Chinese.

          https://www.elfbar.com/

          https://www.escobarvape.org/

          https://mipod.com/collections/

          So, again, can I get a source for your claim that all these are the same company sourcing their stuff from Chinese sweatshop?

            Yeah it's totally because everything is "stupid" and not the fact that you have no argument outside of superficial fearmongering which falls apart under the slightest scrutiny. It's so stupid that you keep replying with nonsense talking about how anyone else's statements are unworthy of replying to 🙄

              Do these threats exist in the exhaled smoke? It seems like people around me don't GAF about the exhaust from vapes.

              Those people are jackasses and should be shamed. I quit a 6 year cigarette smoking habit with just one year of using an actual vape, not these shitty gas station things. One of the best decisions I've made in my life. The potential for smoking cessation is there. But stupid and obnoxious people set the basis for stereotypes.

                      Guess I'm gonna be ultra fucked. I'm not going back to cigarettes. And I already quit nicotine once for seven and a half years. Starting again was the biggest mistake of my life cause I don't wanna go through that again. Oh well, it's not like we have much chance at a future anyway.

                        Do you recycle condoms you find on the ground too? Vapes are probably the most disgusting thing recently invented.

                              Since nobody else will provide the actual clarity

                              EscobarVape and Elfbar are created by two separate Chinese companies, Shenzhen Innokin Technology Co. Ltd and Shenzhen iMiracle Technology respectively. Mi-Bar is created by an American company but has partnered with Elfbar to distribute Elfbar products in the US

                              Really wish more people would just provide the facts that speak for themselves, rather than point fingers about who is and isn't doing their research

                                Dude, I hope you try to quit those too. If you've ever met someone who can't breathe from COPD, it's a tough time for them.

                                  Just have a cocktail and smoke a cig, it’s better than weed and ecigs! How dare you switch because of rat poison found in our cigs and how the RICH banded hemp due to lobbying by the paper people… not due to anything else! Cool!

                                    I can’t fathom how they’re legal. Disposable e cigarettes? The waste is insane, and the people using then aren’t properly disposing of them either..

                                    This. So much effort being put into regulating zero-waste bags and attached bottle cups yet those vapes fly under the radar

                                      The coils don't burn it's the cotton that burns and causes dry hits and burnt flavor.

                                      You're splitting hairs. The coils get red hot on dry wick and it burns. The coils are overheating.

                                        I think you kinda made my point for me, once the cart has hit the temperature at which it releases those chemicals the cart is immediately ruined. This kind of goes to my 'if you burn the whole cigarette including the filter the net result is even more toxic'. I mean, sure, but that's really gross data manipulation.

                                        The ruined coil is if you run it too hot for too long... You're being naive if you think it never runs a little dry and the coils never get red hot.

                                        If you have a tank that exposes the coil from the air hole, just look inside it and see how red it gets from a one second hit.

                                          There needs to be a $20 deposit on them that you get back when you turn in the empty vape.

                                          Or, hot take, make vapes you can refill.
