Reply to comment by Hesk121 in eli5: Why and how bad is vaping without nicotine/THC? by DuckPogging

Your link and claim about THC is totally wrong. The problem was with people adding vitamin E acetate to the liquids. This is a problem of manufacturing of liquids that doesn't seem to appear much anymore and has nothing to do with THC itself.

Avoid home made liquids like plague. And avoid vaping if you can, continuous irritation of anything in your body is always linked to bad outcome and we don't have enough data on long term use of vaping yet to rule it out in that case.

Flavors can also be extremely bad and these are even less studied and change all the time. Look at popcorn lung for example https://www.lung.org/blog/popcorn-lung-risk-ecigs

That's one compound that makes damages pretty fast for example (and was well known, so people that flavored ecig liquids with that are criminals)

Their first claim is wrong as well. There is no evidence showing that vg and pg release toxic chemical when heated. The studies saying otherwise are falsifying results by subjecting the device to extreme scenarios in which no one would be inhaling

Interesting. This I didn't know about. Do you have studies that studied the liquids in "normal conditions"?
