    Nicotine isn't really harmful, aside from the rediculously addictive nature it's what a vasoconstrictor?

    Much like caffeine it has some decent properties for focus / cognitive abilities.

    The main downfall is how it's consumed by the majority of the population. Durries are overall awful. The stench, accidental burns and all the inhaling burning plant matter leading to cancer thing.

      It's not from the coil, at least in the cases that this article is about, but other parts of the tank. Shitty manufacturing, anyways

      Or just another shitty study like the one they did in Oregon where they fired the coils for 60 seconds at a time and literally melted the rigs down before measuring what chemicals off gassed from the smoldering pile of plastic and metal.

        I've wrapped enough coils to know they do in fact get red hot. Ask anybody who built coils how many times they've had to throw away a tank full because they ran it too fast and it burnt.

        You trust the disposables to supply enough juice to keep the coil from every getting red hot? You trust the coil to be made of safer metals?

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

          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..
