Just kidding - so all the collapsing corona victims in Iran were vapers. Lol....Darn.
When I started vaping my SP02 was 98 all day every day. I was an extremely active person. For the past three years I'm somewhat stabilized at 94 on a good day now and medicate every 4 hours for emphysema. My lifestyle has changed completely. Not getting better not getting worse - from about six months of tootle-puffing low-watt no nicotine, no flavors. I was very active on the ecig forum so I know a just a little about the development of the industry, moving from cigarettealikes to prototype batts, various tanks, the shady characters selling liquids out of their kitchens and the craziness of mixing cake flavoring.(Bacon-banana cinnamon toast anyone?)
EVALI is still being diagnosed in the public, well after the supposed Colorado counterfeits distributor was busted, well after the supposed grape-pesticide/cyanide source was busted. The autopsy of EVALI lungs showed sticky, gel-like, lipid-y, deposits in the lungs. Which were driven deeper into the alveoli by high-flow O2. All surviving EVALI patients have permanent lung injury. Ergo my hyperinterest in any novel lung disease that has similarities to EVALI.
