That is a long debunked study. In order to get those byproducts from Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Nicotine (in a PG or VG base), and (FDA approved food) flavorings (in a PG or VG base), the liquid must be combusted, which does not occur in vaporizers.
“I think you nailed it; just like pot use and tolerance has “evolved”.”
e-cig concern is also cannabis-related. You can get pot-extract in e-cig juice that is very concentrated, with no way to tell if a person is vaping nicotine or THC, apart from giggling.
Wow, the things I’m unaware of living my sheltered life!
Yeah, I know. People take “wax” or “shatter” cannabis extracts (extracted with liquid butane at home under dubious safety conditions) and dissolve that in propylene glycol then load their vape devices. “Wax” extract looks like earwax and people smoke it, go figure.
I think you can buy wax and shatter and shard extracts legally in Colorado, but there have been a number of home butane explosions and fires to suggest a bootleg market.
Needless to say, one draw on such a loaded vaporizer is, from what I’ve heard, enough to launch you into orbit.
And in the minds of fanatics, that's reason enough to ban the former.
